June 2008
- Is Bill Losing His Grip?
  
  newser | Vanity Fair | Jun 2, 08 10:38 AM CDT
  
  As Hillary’s campaign staggers to a close, a professional Clinton-watcher shines the flashlight back into a familiar face—her husband’s. Bill has had a checkered ex-presidency, Todd Purdum reports in Vanity Fair , as a phalanx of former aides spills about girlfriends (including, maybe, Walter Mondale’s daughter), cash, "cavernous narcissism," and a coterie of dubious friends and associates.

- Clinton Insiders Offer Post Mortem
  
  newser | New Republic | May 28, 08 5:42 PM CDT
  
  The New Republic asked (anonymous) Hillary Clinton camp insiders why their candidate isn’t booking her ticket to Denver: “I just don't think she was hungry enough for it …It wasn't really until the 10-in-a-row loss that she started doing stuff like Saturday Night Live and Jon Stewart.” “Devastating vulnerabilities such as Obama's associations with Wright and Ayers were not unearthed by the campaign's vaunted research team in time.” More »

- Bill Decries 'Cover-Up' By Dem Brass
  
  newser | CNN | May 27, 08 2:14 PM CDT
  
  Bill Clinton claimed this weekend that there is a conspiracy to bury polls showing Hillary to be the better Democratic general-election candidate against John McCain, adding, “I have never seen a candidate treated so disrespectfully just for running.” “Oh, this is so terrible," said the former president of conspirators' reaction to positive Hillary Clinton tidings, "we have to cover this up.” More »

- Clinton's RFK Remark Sparks Fear, Outrage
  
  newser | New York Times | May 23, 08 7:54 PM CDT
  
  Hillary Clinton whipped up a storm of anger today by invoking Bobby Kennedy's murder as grounds for staying in the Democratic race, the New York Times reports. Recalling the surprise outcomes of past contests, including her husband’s in 1992, the senator told editors at a South Dakota newspaper that “we all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California" in 1968.

- Hillary's Been 'Denigrated,' Says Bill; Also, I Shoulda Shut Up
  
  newser | CNN | May 22, 08 2:20 PM CDT
  
  Hillary Clinton has been “dismissed, denigrated, declared dead” by a press corps in her rival’s pocket, Bill dishes to People . The first spouse wannabe says bias has been such that “I thought I was literally lost in a fun house.” Still, he partly faults himself for his wife’s fortunes, CNN reports, regretting that he spoke “late at night...'cause if you are tired or angry, you shouldn’t be talking.” More »

- How About President Chelsea?
  
  newser | ABC News | May 22, 08 4:33 AM CDT
  
  Bill Clinton hasn't given up hope of a Clinton woman getting into the White House—but it may be his daughter rather than his wife, ABC reports. Clinton says he would never have thought Chelsea would consider running for office—until she proved a natural on the campaign trail this year. Clinton calls his daughter's emergence the second-best thing of the campaign, after his wife's amazing endurance. More »

- Clintons Are Reliving Their Worst Ordeal: Impeachment
  
  newser | New Republic | May 14, 08 10:11 AM CDT
  
  For Bill and Hillary Clinton, 2008 is smacking of 1998, as the struggle to stay in the presidential race looks remarkably like the battle to survive impeachment, argues Michael Crowley in the New Republic . The former first couple is under siege again, and again is willing to “ride out any crisis”—wrapping themselves in the mantle of populism and indicting the press. More »

  newser | USA Today | May 12, 08 5:36 PM CDT
  
  Ronald Reagan’s influence on American courts remains unprecedented, and his transformation of the nomination process is only part of the story.

- ... And Here's Why It Will
  
  newser | Politico | May 10, 08 11:28 AM CDT
  
  Barack Obama would be wise to put Hillary Clinton on his ticket, write John F. Martin and Jonathan Harris in Politico. Here's why: Obama has no choice. He needs Clinton’s Catholic and blue-collar supporters, and he’ll be pressured to include her for the party’s sake. He may dislike Clinton, but that’s irrelevant. Picking her will show he really can overcome divisions and be a true uniter. More »

- Hillary Defeat Would Shake Up Democrats
  
  newser | New York Times | May 8, 08 1:22 PM CDT
  
  With Barack Obama headed toward the Democratic nomination, the Clintons' long reign over the party looks likely to end, the New York Times reports. That could lead to a bold new era—or a divided party that Obama can’t reconcile. “It’s going to create an upheaval,” said one Democratic organizer. “The Clintons and their allies have been running the show for 16 years.” More »

  newser | Politico | May 7, 08 9:58 AM CDT
  
  On the flight home from his North Carolina victory last night, Barack Obama’s top adviser signaled that the next phase of the race has begun: “I don’t think we are going to spend our time solely in primary states.” Confirming a reporter’s interpretation that the candidate would be moving on to general-election territory, he added, “We are not going to take anything for granted. But we are also going to spend time addressing broader issues.” More »

  Urbanites in North Carolina prefer Barack Obama, while rural voters side with Hillary Clinton—which is why she spent all weekend trying to sway mixed regions like small cities and far-out suburbs. Obama, meanwhile, is counting on a hidden strength with country folk and his far-reaching publicity machine to win tomorrow's primary, the Charlotte Observer reports More »

- How Hillary Missed the Boat on Black Votes
  
  newser | Salon | May 5, 08 3:46 PM CDT
  
  Barack Obama's lead over Hillary Clinton among black voters is perhaps not surprising, but Clinton could have avoided such devastating losses in the demographic, Thomas Schaller writes in Salon. "One would expect Obama to win these voters, but 90-10 is a total collapse that Obama is not experiencing among any constituency. Simply put, Hillary Clinton has a black problem," says one analyst.

  newser | Wall Street Journal | May 5, 08 1:37 PM CDT
  
  Before winning the Teamsters’ endorsement, Barack Obama said he’d support ending government oversight of the union, an unusual stance for a presidential candidate, reports the Wall Street Journal . An independent board has policed the historically organized-crime-influenced Teamsters since 1992; Bill Clinton, John Kerry, and Al Gore left the matter to the Justice Department. More »

- 21st-Century Campaign Trail Bumpier Than Bill Recalls
  
  newser | New Yorker | Apr 28, 08 3:08 PM CDT
  
  With an assist from a pesky, unforgiving press, Bill Clinton has turned into a faux pas machine—making him seem more a liability than an asset for his wife. But the former president is in truth the most convincing person on the campaign trail, and is animated by a deep-seated anger at Barack Obama’s attacks on the Clinton legacy, Ryan Lizza writes in the New Yorker .

  newser | Radar | Apr 27, 08 7:40 PM CDT
  
  Americans love their ironic T-shirts, especially when they make coy references to politicians' sex scandals. The Internet is awash with "Client #9" and "Zippergate '98" gear, but the phenomenon isn't restricted to the digital age. It's version 2.0 of the traditional smear campaign—"as American as apple pie," one political analyst told Radar . More »

  newser | Wall Street Journal | Apr 26, 08 2:12 PM CDT
  
  Despite controversial remarks on more than one occasion, Bill Clinton has moved to the forefront of his wife’s campaign, the Wall Street Journal reports. In what some insiders call the “Billification” of Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid, the ex-President is pushing for sharper attacks on Barack Obama amid an aggressive stumping schedule. “We’re not quitters,” he reportedly tells his wife.

  newser | New York Times | Apr 25, 08 6:01 AM CDT
  
  South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn slammed Bill Clinton’s “bizarre” campaign-trail conduct in an interview yesterday with the New York Times , saying that “black people are incensed” over Clinton’s remarks about Barack Obama. Clinton earlier compared Obama’s win in South Carolina to Jesse Jackson’s 1988 success there, then Monday claimed the Obama campaign had “played the race card on me” by making an issue of it.

  newser | Huffington Post | Apr 24, 08 9:43 AM CDT
  
  Barack Obama’s top strategist yesterday downplayed the demographic that sank his candidate in Pennsylvania on NPR, noting that the “white working class has gone to the Republican nominee for many elections, going back even to the Clinton years.” Added David Axelrod: "This is not new that Democratic candidates don't rely solely on those votes."

  As more longtime Clintonites succumb to Obamania and Hillary Clinton's superdelegate lead gradually diminishes, the former first couple is left to sift their friendships into past and present. But while the Clinton camp sees shifts toward Barack Obama as acts of betrayal, others consider them comeuppance for the Clintons' habit of collecting political allies and taking them for granted, reports the New York Times .
