      Clinton, Obama Split on Federal Gas Tax 'Vacation'

      (Newser) - Hillary Clinton has joined John McCain's call for a summer holiday from the federal gasoline tax, but Barack Obama says the move will hurt more than it helps, the New York Times reports. Clinton says she’d pay for it with a windfall-profits tax on the oil companies. “Middle-class families are paying too much and oil companies aren’t paying their fair share,” Clinton said. More »

      NC Gov. to Support Clinton

      (Newser) - North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley will back Hillary Clinton before next week's key primary, sources tell CNN. The move may give her a boost in a state where she last lagged Barack Obama by double digits. As a superdelegate, Easely also adds one to Clinton's delegate tally—but Obama added one today too with the endorsement of New Mexico Sen. Jeff Bingaman. More »

      Clinton Calls for Moderator-Free Debate

      (Newser) - Hillary Clinton wants one last debate before the Indiana and North Carolina primaries next month, and she’s ready to do it Lincoln-Douglas style. “After the last debate, Sen. Obama’s supporters complained a little about the tough questions,” Clinton told a crowd in South Bend today. “I’m offering Senator Obama a chance to debate me, one-on-one, no moderators.” More »

      Dems Look Small After Pa. Gutter Fight

      (Newser) - Barack Obama, once the fresh-faced symbol of a new kind of politics, emerged from the Pennsylvania primary “stale, battered, and embittered,” Joe Klein writes in a stunningly dour piece on the state of the Democratic race in Time . Dragged into a morass of character attacks, some of it  “scurrilous trash,” Obama withered. “There is an immutable pedestrian reality to American politics,” Klein writes. “You have to get the social body language right.” More »

    • Pa. Primary Changed the Spin, not the Race

      Pa. Primary Changed the Spin, not the Race

      (Newser) - The Pennsylvania primary didn't change the basic parameters of the race for the Democratic nomination in any significant way, Andrew Romano writes in Newsweek. But it had a huge effect on the narrative, handing Hillary Clinton Exhibit A for her claim that  Barack Obama can't win over white men. She will taunt him, as she did last night, for failing to knock her out, despite outspending her 3 to 1. Obama will boast, as he did last night, of cutting her Pennsylvania lead, and will hammer her for divisive tactics that are hurting the party. More »

      Chelsea Faces Campaign's Rough Side

      (Newser) - Until recently, the campaign trail has been a generally hospitable place for Chelsea Clinton. She never talks to reporters, and her rallies generally attract fawning Clinton supporters lobbing softball questions. But as the race heats up, the questions are becoming more pointed, as is the scrutiny, the Los Angeles Times reports. Some of the stories Clinton tells on the campaign trail strain credulity. More »
