June 2008
- McCain Targets Disgruntled Clinton Voters
  
  newser | Washington Post | Jun 6, 08 12:43 PM CDT
  
  John McCain sees his path to the White House lined with Hillary Clinton supporters. Up to 28% of Clinton backers have told pollsters they’ll defect to the GOP now that Barack Obama has clinched the nomination, the Washington Post reports, so McCain is targeting them, calling Clinton a “friend” who inspired his daughters. It’s a long shot, but, hey, it worked for Ronald Reagan. More »

- The Winning Combination: Passion Plus Efficiency
  
  newser | Time | Jun 6, 08 9:40 AM CDT
  
  Barack Obama triumphed because he managed to infuse his campaign with that rarest of combinations, writes Karen Tumulty in Time —"the energy of an insurgency and the efficiency of a corporation." His camp also has been remarkably free of drama and unshakable from its core message of change. And it didn't hurt that it rewrote the book on how to use the Internet as a campaign tool. More »

  newser | NBC | Jun 5, 08 8:59 PM CDT
  
  Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton met face to face tonight in a private meeting, NBC news reports. No immediate word surfaced about their discussion.

She plans to suspend her campaign Saturday and endorse him. More »

- Hillary on Obama's Veep Choice: 'His Alone'
  
  newser | New York Times | Jun 5, 08 3:04 PM CDT
  
  Team Clinton tempered speculation that she was bargaining for the No. 2 spot today, deeming the VP choice “Senator Obama’s and his alone.” One day after Hillary Clinton told New York’s congressional delegation that she was open to being a running mate, the New York Times reports, a rep said “she is not seeking the vice presidency, and no one speaks for her but her.” More »

- Why the Town Halls? It's All Mac Is Good at
  
  newser | New York Times | Jun 5, 08 2:45 PM CDT
  
  The shocking disparity between John McCain and Barack Obama’s performances on Tuesday night—Barack soared while John looked awful—is a perfect reminder of why the Republican is calling for a summer of town hall meetings, Gail Collins writes in the New York Times : it’s the only format Mac is any good at.

- How the Air Came Out of Clinton's Tires
  
  newser | Washington Post | Jun 5, 08 1:38 PM CDT
  
  Hillary Clinton’s campaign was happiest, and picked up the most steam, late in the game, as divisive staffers departed, the blue-collar vote moved into her column and the candidate found her comfort zone. The Washington Post examines the Democrat's final months, noting its rejuvenation after Texas and Ohio victories, and the marked resignation after North Carolina and Indiana results went bad.

- Obama Willing to Help Bail Clinton Out of $20M Debt
  
  newser | Bloomberg | Jun 5, 08 12:42 PM CDT
  
  Barack Obama might ask his supporters to help Hillary Clinton pay off her campaign debt, Bloomberg reports. Clinton has accrued more than $20 million, $11.4 million of which she personally contributed. Under a campaign-finance law (co-sponsored by John McCain) she has until August's Democratic convention to raise money to settle the debt, after which she can only recoup $250,000. More »

- 'Dream Ticket' an Unlikely Nightmare
  
  newser | Wall Street Journal | Jun 5, 08 7:07 AM CDT
  
  The champagne was barely uncorked at Barack Obama victory parties before Hillary Clinton's backers were pushing for her as veep choice, the Wall Street Journal reports, but the so-called "dream ticket" is looking unlikely. Dems on both sides point to a host of complications that could arise—especially when Bill Clinton and his undisclosed business dealings are thrown into the equation. More »

  newser | Time | Jun 4, 08 1:29 PM CDT
  
  Mark Halperin runs down what Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton aren’t counting on the day after the nomination was secured: For Obama: How intensely Clintonites feel about Hillary. Delaying his VP pick will only exacerbate the Obama-Clinton scrutiny. The sensitivity of the former first couple. The intense scrutiny he'll now face. How much distaste Camp McCain has for him. How the GOP has been waiting for this moment. How November will be about challenges facing the next prez. More »

- Actress Demands VF Retract Clinton Story
  
  newser | CNN | Jun 4, 08 1:13 PM CDT
  
  Bill Clinton isn’t the only one fuming over Vanity Fair ’s article blasting his conduct since he left office. Actress Gina Gershon—whom Clinton “has been seen visiting,” according to the magazine—is demanding a retraction, CNN reports. The "insinuation is a lie, and it is irresponsible journalism,” said her publicist. The magazine, however, denied that the article indicates an “improper relationship” between Clinton and the star of PS I love You. More »

- Top Clintonites Push Hillary for Veep
  
  newser | Los Angeles Times | Jun 4, 08 11:45 AM CDT
  
  Mere hours after Barack Obama secured the Dem nomination, key Clinton insiders stepped up lobbying for a VP slot for her. Former White House staffer Lanny Davis started a petition drive—without campaign coordination, he insists—at Womenforfairpolitics.com, the Los Angeles Times reports. “We must field the strongest possible ticket,” the letter to Obama on the site reads. Clinton “would be, by far the most qualified and strongest candidate to be your running mate.” More »

- Congrats Obama, Here's Your To-Do List
  
  newser | Guardian (UK) | Jun 4, 08 11:14 AM CDT
  
  It wasn’t easy, but a bruised Barack Obama has finally wrapped up the Democratic nomination. The Guardian ’s Michael Tomasky knows what he needs to do next: Redefine himself. Obama has a lot of time now to remind us why he inspired people in the first place. Define John McCain. The honeymoon should be over for the GOP nominee; Obama can attack him pointedly on Bush, Iraq, and his growing array of flip-flops. More »

- Don't Be Henpecked, Obama
  
  newser | New York Times | Jun 4, 08 9:11 AM CDT
  
  "What does Hillary want?" Hillary Clinton asked rhetorically last night at her rally in New York. Still a good question, writes Maureen Dowd, since apparently she's not going away anytime soon. Having given her surrogates the green light to push for an Obama-Clinton ticket, the New York Times columnist asks why Hillary is promoting herself for the vice-presidency—"a job she's already had and doesn't want again."

- How Obama Did It: The Delegate Strategy
  
  newser | Washington Post | Jun 4, 08 8:29 AM CDT
  
  Last night was not a triumphant coronation for Barack Obama, whose campaign limped over the finish line in Montana and South Dakota. But the Illinois senator's victory over Hillary Clinton—one of the biggest upsets in US political history, writes the Washington Post —was never about glamorous wins in battleground states. Rather, the campaign fought delegate by delegate in an uphill "slog" against the establishment candidate. More »

  The Democratic party's three top leaders wasted no time in calling on all outstanding superdelegates this morning to make up their minds by Friday. Only a few hours after Barack Obama laid claim to the Democratic presidential nomination, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Howard Dean issued a carefully worded statement that pushes for closure but does not push superdelegates toward Obama, observes the LA Times .

  Hillary Clinton's non-concession speech last night left the Obama campaign with a major headache, as the New York senator left open the possibility that she might demand the second spot on the Democratic ticket. Clinton managed to take some of the spotlight from Obama even on his biggest night—a reality that will dog the nominee whether she runs for veep or not, reports the New York Times . More »

  Barack Obama capped an historic night with an easy win in the Montana primary, CNN reports. In the nation's final contest, Obama led Clinton 58% to 40% with about half the returns in. The victory follows Obama's coronation as the Democratic nominee, though Hillary Clinton opted not to concede the race. Exit polls in Montana show voters split on whether Obama should pick Clinton as his VP; about 50% said yes, and 40% said no. More »
