      Judy Claims She's Right for Rudy

      (Newser) - Politicos say Rudy Giuliani can't win without his wife—but he may not be able to win with her either.

But the garrulous Judy fires back, saying she lacks only political acumen—not substance. More »

      How Obama Can Trump the Experience Card

      (Newser) - The root of last week's Obama/Clinton spat, writes John Dickerson in Slate, is the Achilles heel of the Obama campaign: She trounces him in experience. Standing next to her seems to make hiim look callow, and she used the opportunity to rub it in. Only 30% of Americans think his experience qualifies him to be president, versus more than 70% for her.  More »

      Harassment Allegation Could Haunt Bloomberg

      (Newser) - A 1997 sexual harassment suit against Michael Bloomberg could become an obstacle if the New York mayor attempts a presidential run, the AP reports. Although the suit was settled in 2000 and has not been a political liability during his term, the allegations that he made bawdy remarks to a female executive at his company may hurt his support elsewhere.

      GOP Must Break Mold to Beat Hill

      (Newser) - Hillary is such a surprise campaign juggernaut that her Republican rivals don't stand a chance, says New York Times’ resident conservative David Brooks, unless they muster weapons nobody's seen yet.

      Fake Obama Group Keeps Donations

      (Newser) -  "Californians for Obama"  has raised thousands of dollars, but the candidate hasn't seen any of it. In fact, the group isn't affiliated with Obama, the San Francisco Chronicle reports, and most of the dough has gone to founder Emmett Cash. Because the group's website doesn't claim an official tie to Obama, it's all legal.
