- How About President Chelsea?
  
  ABC News | May 22, 08 4:33 AM CDT
  
  (Newser) - 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
  
  New Republic | May 14, 08 10:11 AM CDT
  
  (Newser) - 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 »
- ... And Here's Why It Will
  
  Politico | May 10, 08 11:28 AM CDT
  
  (Newser) - 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
  
  New York Times | May 8, 08 1:22 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - 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 »

  Oregonian (Portland) | May 7, 08 3:25 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Oregon’s primary, usually a non-event, is shaping up to get an unusual amount of attention this time around, the Oregonian reports. The state has 52 delegates at stake—huge among remaining contests—and is likely to be crucial for the Democrats in the fall as well. Says a state party official: “There’s talk that it’s going to be the last battleground state.” More »

  Associated Press | May 7, 08 10:42 AM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Top Hillary Clinton backer and former Democratic nominee George McGovern is switching his endorsement to Barack Obama—and urging Hillary to step aside, the AP reports.

- Obama Aide: We're Moving On to General Election States
  
  Politico | May 7, 08 9:58 AM CDT
  
  (Newser) - 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 »
- Clintons Aim for Suburban Voters in NC
  
  Charlotte Observer | May 5, 08 8:14 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - 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 »
- Hillary's Superdelegate Hunter Holds Firm
  
  Time | May 4, 08 7:20 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - You can thank or blame one Democrat for the rise of superdelegates and demise of the party's winner-take-all primaries—but strategist Harold Ickes, who negotiated the primary system 20 years ago, is likely too busy to hear you. He's calling up superdelegates for Hillary Clinton, and using such a nasty tongue that Time couldn't print what it overheard. More »

- 21st-Century Campaign Trail Bumpier Than Bill Recalls
  
  New Yorker | Apr 28, 08 3:08 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - 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 .

- Sex Scandal Tees Are All the Rage
  
  Radar | Apr 27, 08 7:40 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - 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 »

  Wall Street Journal | Apr 26, 08 2:12 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - 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.

- Clyburn Blasts Bill's 'Bizarre' Obama Attacks
  
  New York Times | Apr 25, 08 6:01 AM CDT
  
  (Newser) - 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. More »
