CNN running with the story of Obama's link to the "radical 60's group". Would it be enough to mention that he wasn't involved in any of their activities since he was 8 years old when it all went down? Apparently so. But it's Blitzer so I expect nothing less.

Sounds like she's slamming MoveOn. Probably not surprising, since they've been Pro-Obama for some time. Sounds like she's pulling a "just words" by trying to minimize a strength. Minimize the importance of the support of MoveOn by demonizing them.

The problem isn't the size, siamese. It's the avatar itself. The Braves suck all 7 flavors of ass. And as someone who was just in Atlanta yesterday, I feel I have the right to say that.

PS. Why does I-85 south from Alpharetta to the airport have to be such a mess at 2pm? Took me an hour and 10 minutes from exit 11 on 400 to reach the airport... ungodly.

While the spotlight is primarily on Obama and Hillary, Mccain still isn't doing that well. If you were to look at McCain's news by itself the guy would seemed fucked

Obama snags a pretty big endorsement:
Former Georgia senator Sam Nunn, who toyed with the concept of a non-partisan run for president last year, has come down on the side of Barack Obama in the Democratic race for president.

The former senator, considered one of the nation’s preeminent experts on U.S. defense, met with Obama’s foreign policy team this morning.

In a just released statement, Nunn said Obama “will have the sound judgment to put together an outstanding governing team, bringing people together across old boundaries.”

“My own role in this campaign will be as an advisor - particularly in the field of national security and foreign policy,” Nunn said.

Though not a superdelegate to the Democratic National Convention, Nunn carries a good deal of gravitas from which Obama could benefit. As one of their numbers, Nunn could also help reassure conservative Democrats still suspicious of Obama’s position on the left-right political spectrum.

That could matter in Pennsylvania on Tuesday.

They're calling him "the perfect running mate" for him. Is he that good?

I think Tim Kaine is more likely than Bayh or Clark. Maybe Jim Webb or Richardson. I'm betting he goes with someone from a state that will help him get over the hump.

At a small closed-door fundraiser after Super Tuesday, Sen. Hillary Clinton blamed what she called the "activist base" of the Democratic Party -- and MoveOn.org in particular -- for many of her electoral defeats, saying activists had "flooded" state caucuses and "intimidated" her supporters, according to an audio recording of the event obtained by The Huffington Post.

"Moveon.org endorsed [Sen. Barack Obama] -- which is like a gusher of money that never seems to slow down," Clinton said to a meeting of donors. "We have been less successful in caucuses because it brings out the activist base of the Democratic Party. MoveOn didn't even want us to go into Afghanistan. I mean, that's what we're dealing with. And you know they turn out in great numbers. And they are very driven by their view of our positions, and it's primarily national security and foreign policy that drives them. I don't agree with them. They know I don't agree with them. So they flood into these caucuses and dominate them and really intimidate people who actually show up to support me."

Quick, someone call the Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhmbulance! :lol Heaven forbid the dreaded "activists" show up! Activist obviously being a person who doesn't support Hillary. And an adviser or something should clue her in on the fact that MoveOn didn't oppose the war in Afghanistan. But strawmans make us comfortable...

Hillary shits on MoveOn, democratic caucuses, and party activists who don't support her. All in much clearer audio than the Obama bitter recording.

Anyone watch Hardball? This republican strategist is full of it. He just called Obama "elitist" for wanting to raise taxes on the rich.

BTW, thanks Hillary for giving the GOP another talking point for November. Seriously.

Do you think Hillary's sharp attacks against Obama helps the Democrats' enemies? Does it make you question her Democratism? Do you think she should shut up and run a clean and not negative campaign?

See what you did there? You originally wrote a perfectly good post and submitted it. Then you immediately edited it so you could act like an asshole.

Considering how she "won" in Nevada I don't think she has much room to bitch. Never stopped her before, tho.

Politico on Obama and the media.

While I think they do have a point, it's amusing how they forget to mention that Clinton is only still in this race because the media has never reported the fact that she had mathematically no chance to win, that the media (ABC) created the Wright controversy and fuelled the flames, that the media dishonestly blew up BitterGate etc.

The media won't cling to this, sadly. The number of people potentially offended by these statements is lower. The media wanted ratings from Bittergate because it made them seem sympathetic to middle America. Calling out Hillary for slamming activists doesn't have the same kind of controversial ring to it.

But it does affect her standing in the party, potentially leading to more endorsements for Obama.

You don't get it man. MoveOn totally betrayed Clinton when they endorsed Obama. Those treacherous, activist, money-raising, website-owning, petition-writing bastards!!
