    • Hillary's Killer RFK Quote Stuns Pundits

      New York Daily News  |  May 24, 08 3:10 PM CDT

      Hillary's Killer RFK Quote Stuns Pundits

      (Newser) - Hillary’s RFK gaffe certainly has people talking—and most aren’t being too kind. Michael Goodwin of the New York Daily News calls it “an X-ray of a very dark soul” that considers murder just another strategic possibility. Hillary has shot her chance at being vice president, he writes: “She doesn’t deserve to be elected dog catcher anywhere now.” More »

    • On RFK, Clinton Should Have Known Better

      Washington Post  |  May 24, 08 10:25 AM CDT

      On RFK, Clinton Should Have Known Better

      (Newser) - Hillary Clinton used history to make a point, but her RFK gaffe provides a valuable lesson for those studying it: “There are taboos in presidential politics, and this is one of the biggest,” Libby Copeland writes in the Washington Post . Clinton has apologized for referring to the assassination in her rationale for staying in the race, but her comments “broke a double taboo,” because many fear Obama’s race makes him a bigger target.

    • Clinton's RFK Remark Sparks Fear, Outrage

      New York Times  |  May 23, 08 7:54 PM CDT

      Clinton's RFK Remark Sparks Fear, Outrage

      (Newser) - 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.

    • Biden Backs Obama on Talking to Foes

      Wall Street Journal  |  May 23, 08 12:40 PM CDT

      Biden Backs Obama on Talking to Foes

      (Newser) - Joe Biden takes on Senate colleague Joe Lieberman in the Wall Street Journal today. Lieberman charged earlier this week that Democrats have lost the thread on FDR-style internationalism; Biden counters that it’s Bush who's lost it, with careless saber-rattling and a poorly targeted war on terror, both of which John McCain would perpetuate. Sending the right global signals requires “more than a great solider," he writes. "It will require a wise leader." More »

    • Clinton's Sexism Charges 'Insulting'

      Wall Street Journal  |  May 23, 08 10:50 AM CDT

      Clinton's Sexism Charges 'Insulting'

      (Newser) - Hillary Clinton’s claims of misogyny this week were cheap shots that history’s greatest women never would have uttered, Peggy Noonan writes in the Wall Street Journal . Suggesting that sexism is costing her the nomination is “insulting” and “manipulative”—it paints other candidates’ supporters as biased—it’s false, and ultimately, Noonan notes, it is “undermining of the position of women.” More »

    • Bill Likes Idea of Hillary as VP

      New York Times  |  May 23, 08 8:30 AM CDT

      Bill Likes Idea of Hillary as VP

      (Newser) - Hillary Clinton has vowed to keep fighting for the nomination, but family friends say Bill Clinton is warming to the idea of an Obama-Clinton ticket, the New York Times reports. He sees it as Hillary's best chance to eventually become president and thinks her big-state victories have earned her serious consideration. Meanwhile, members of her camp have begun "very preliminary" talks with Obama representatives about the possibility, CNN reports. More »

    • McCain to Give Glimpse of Medical Files Tomorrow

      Los Angeles Times  |  May 22, 08 8:20 PM CDT

      McCain to Give Glimpse of Medical Files Tomorrow

      (Newser) - John McCain will give the media a glimpse of his medical records tomorrow, but restrictions will be tight, the Los Angeles Times reports. The campaign will allow a small group of reporters to review 400 pages of documents in 3 hours. They can take notes but can't remove the files or make photocopies. The 71-year-old senator had melanoma surgery in 2000 but says he's now in excellent health. More »

    • Dems Jockey on Florida and Michigan Votes

      St. Petersburg Times  |  May 22, 08 5:10 PM CDT

      Dems Jockey on Florida and Michigan Votes

      (Newser) - With primary voting in its final stretch, the long-simmering argument about outlaw Florida and Michigan balloting is heating up. Hillary Clinton's camp is still arguing that all delegates should be seated, while Barack Obama said seating half the Florida delegates would be “a very reasonable solution”—though he discounted the vote's legitimacy, calling it “essentially a referendum on name recognition.” More »

    • Linchpin in 'NAFTA-Gate' to Step Down

      Globe and Mail  |  May 22, 08 2:47 PM CDT

      Linchpin in 'NAFTA-Gate' to Step Down

      (Newser) - Ian Brodie, chief of staff to Canada's prime minister and the key figure in the "NAFTA-gate" scandal, will step down by summer, the Globe and Mail reports. Brodie, the architect of the Conservative Party's victory in 2006 elections, is under investigation in leaks that clouded the Democratic primary in Ohio in March. More »

    • No, She Isn’t Winning the Popular Vote

      Newsweek  |  May 22, 08 12:13 PM CDT

      No, She Isn&rsquo;t Winning the Popular Vote

      (Newser) - Hillary Clinton’s insistence that she’s winning the popular vote not only promotes a meaningless rubric in a delegate contest, but it's also a dangerous claim—and a false one, Jonathan Alter writes in Newsweek . Not only is Clinton trampling on old sore spots (think Al Gore in 2000), but she’s also in the wrong, Alter asserts, then runs through the math. More »

    • Clinton Ready to Take It to Convention

      New York Times  |  May 22, 08 8:39 AM CDT

      Clinton Ready to Take It to Convention

      (Newser) - A defiant Hillary Clinton signaled yesterday that she might take the nomination fight all the way to the convention, the New York Times reports, again emphasizing the importance of seating Florida and Michigan delegates in a swing through the Sunshine State. Those delegates still wouldn't erase Barack Obama's lead, but some insiders believe she's trying to a make a symbolic point about the nomination process. More »

    • House Overrides Farm Bill Veto; Senate to Follow

      Washington Post  |  May 21, 08 7:50 PM CDT

      House Overrides Farm Bill Veto; Senate to Follow

      (Newser) - The House today overrode President Bush's veto of the $307 billion farm bill, and the Senate is expected to follow suit tomorrow morning, the Washington Post reports. Bush issued the 10th veto of his presidency this afternoon, complaining that the wide-ranging measure gives too much money to rich farmers and is stuffed with wasteful perks. The override will be only the second of Bush's presidency and the first on major legislation. More »

    • Hillary Endgame Isn't a Battle in Gender War

      Los Angeles Times  |  May 21, 08 6:06 PM CDT

      Hillary Endgame Isn't a Battle in Gender War

      (Newser) - Women who treat Hillary Clinton's candidacy as a feminist symbol and see sexism in calls for her to quit don't quite make sense to Jonathan Chait, writing in the Los Angeles Times . "People of my generation tend to have a less personal view of Clinton," the 36-year-old writes. "She's not us, she's not our ex-wife, she's just a politician." More »

    • Obama Already Beating McCain ... in the Wallet

      Politico  |  May 21, 08 3:30 PM CDT

      Obama Already Beating McCain ... in the Wallet

      (Newser) - Barack Obama raised $32 million in April, Politico reports; Hillary Clinton bagged $22 million, and John McCain, now squarely in Obama's general-election sights, brought in $18.5 million. It was a record for Republican, yet dwarfed by what was a rough month for Obama—who also banked $9 million in general-election money to none for McCain, who will accept public financing. More »

    • Get Back to the 'One Nation,' Barack

      New Republic  |  May 21, 08 1:55 PM CDT

      Get Back to the 'One Nation,' Barack

      (Newser) - Give us our “one nation” Obama back, the New Republic editors demand: Barack has been "sapping the charisma from his campaign” to chase down the white working class, and now that Clinton is (all but) gone, it’s time to pivot back to pure patriotism. Trumpeting national unity was Obama’s “greatest political strength” earlier in the year, and suddenly his feelings about America have become a “liability.” More »

    • Supreme Court Spot Might Be Clinton's Real Dream Ticket

      Washington Post  |  May 21, 08 11:48 AM CDT

      Supreme Court Spot Might Be Clinton's Real Dream Ticket

      (Newser) - Forget making her a powerless vice president—Barack Obama should promise Hillary Clinton the first available Supreme Court slot, James Andrew Miller writes in the Washington Post . This, arguably, would give her supporters a better incentive to stay in the Democratic fold, because Justice Clinton could actually "play a major role in charting the country's future," Miller says.

    • Hillary Will Win Huge Leverage in Narrow Defeat

      Chicago Tribune  |  May 21, 08 10:09 AM CDT

      Hillary Will Win Huge Leverage in Narrow Defeat

      (Newser) - It doesn’t look like Hillary Clinton will be the Dem nominee this year, but she “may gain more leverage from losing than almost any other failed presidential candidate,” says Michael Tackett in a Chicago Tribune piece about what’s in store for the second-place finisher. Assuming she is a “vigorous campaigner” for Obama in the fall and repairs rifts, she'll soon look more like Ted Kennedy than John Kerry. More »

    • Obama Pulls Ahead of McCain by 8 Points

      Reuters  |  May 21, 08 8:12 AM CDT

      Obama Pulls Ahead of McCain by 8 Points

      (Newser) - Barack Obama, who claimed a majority of pledged delegates last night after his win in the Oregon primary, has opened up an 8-point lead over John McCain in national polling, reports Reuters. Obama, who was tied with McCain in the Reuters/Zogby poll a month ago, also doubled, to 26 points, his lead over Hillary Clinton among Democrats. In a Clinton-McCain matchup, the two candidates are at level pegging. More »

      Obama Claims Delegate Majority; Wins in Oregon

      (Newser) - Barack Obama said tonight that his campaign had reached a pivotal milestone by clinching a majority of the pledged delegates at stake in the Democratic primary, CNN reports. Addressing a rally in Iowa—the state that put his campaign on a winning path—Obama declared that victory is "within reach." He spoke just before learning that he had defeated Hillary Clinton in the Oregon primary. With 72% of returns in, he led 58% to 42%. More »

      CNN  |  May 20, 08 7:41 PM CDT

      Hillary Vows to Press On

      (Newser) - Hillary Clinton made clear she has no intention of dropping from the race in the wake of her resounding victory in Kentucky. She told supporters that more people have voted for her than for any candidate who's run for the Democratic nomination, CNN reports. "We've got to get this right," she said, insisting she's more electable candidate. Clinton also pressed the point that all votes—as in Michigan and Florida—must be counted. "I'm going to continue making the case until we have a nominee, whoever she may be." More »
