    • Obama Campaign Insular, Arrogant, Hill Dems Complain

      Obama Campaign Insular, Arrogant, Hill Dems Complain

      Some Congressional Democrats say they're not feeling the love from Barack Obama's campaign, Politico reports, with the candidate inattentive to broader election strategy and his camp uncommunicative on the day-to-day message blitz. "They think they know what’s right and everyone else is wrong on everything,” one senior staffer said “They are kind of insufferable at this point.” More »

      Economists 'Endorsing' Mac Plan Didn't See Fine Print

      On Monday, John McCain's campaign released a pledge of support for the candidate’s “Jobs for America” plan signed by 300 economists. But, Politico found in interviews with a sample of the signatories, many didn’t actually support many of the policy prescriptions in the Republican's plan—and one even said he backs Democrat Barack Obama for president.

      Obama Backers Cool to Clinton Debt Relief

      Supporters of Barack Obama have yet to ante up any substantial sums to help retire the record-breaking debt Hillary Clinton accrued during her failed campaign, the New York Times reports. Many Obama backers scoff at the idea of writing a check for an opponent so eager to disparage their man, while others only want their money used to help beat John McCain. More »

    • Obama Yet to Win Clinton's Big Donors

      Obama Yet to Win Clinton's Big Donors

      Big-money supporters of Hillary Clinton angry over her treatment during the Democratic primaries are slow to back presumptive nominee Barack Obama, the Wall Street Journal reports. A recent poll shows only 54% of Clinton voters plan to support Obama; recent analysis of donors who gave $1,000 or more to Clinton shows as many gave to Republican John McCain as to Obama since she left.

      Campaign Fatigue Grips Dems

      Barack Obama likes to joke that since his campaign started, "babies have been born and are now walking and talking," but he's hardly exaggerating. The last 15 months have seen staffers from both his and Hillary Clinton's camps get married, become parents, and grow increasingly exhausted as the campaign grinds on. The Washington Post takes a closer look at campaign fatigue. More »

      Wright Received Death Threats

      Rev. Jeremiah Wright, whose controversial rants scuttled Barack Obama's "post-racial" campaign, reemerged in the headlines yesterday just ahead of the Dems' primary showdown on May 6. Asked by PBS' Bill Moyers if he’d received death threats, Wright says: “Yes, and bomb threats at the church. People (are) telling us how they are going to wipe us off the face of the Earth in the name of Jesus.” More »

      Anchorage Mayor to Run for Ted Stevens' Senate Seat

      The Democratic mayor of Anchorage will throw his hat in the ring today for the Alaska Senate seat Ted Stevens has held for 4 decades, the Anchorage Daily News reports. Stevens, one of the Senate's most notorious pork producers, has been reelected easily 7 times, but is now under federal investigation for corruption. Mark Begich will face three other Democrats in a primary; the 84-year-old Stevens will run against two GOP challengers. More »

    • Lieberman Campaign, Not Opponents, Crashed Site

      Lieberman Campaign, Not Opponents, Crashed Site

      The FBI found accusations by Joe Lieberman’s campaign that challenger Ned Lamont’s supporters crashed the Connecticut Senator’s Web site on primary eve in 2006 to be unfounded, reports the Stamford Advocate after obtaining federal documents. Instead, it was probably Lieberman’s camp itself that brought down a misconfigured site with overuse. The senator’s campaign had accused its opponents and requested investigation. More »

      Chelsea to Voters: Monica's None of Your Business

      For the second time in a week Chelsea Clinton has been asked a question about the sex scandal involving White House intern Monica Lewinsky that cast a shadow over her father's presidency. When it happened at North Carolina State University yesterday, just as it did at Butler University last week, the former first daughter responded the same way: "It’s none of your business." More »
