  MSNBC | Jun 3, 08 2:30 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - The Clinton campaign apologized last night for Bill’s description of a Vanity Fair reporter as “sleazy,” “slimy,” “a dishonest guy” and a “scumbag” in response to a recent story about him in the magazine. "President Clinton was understandably upset about an outrageously unfair article," a Hillary rep said of Todd Purdum's piece, "but the language today was inappropriate and he wishes he had not used it."

  (Newser) - You know where they stand on gas prices, but what about pantsuits and family pets? Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and Barack Obama are making the rounds of daytime talk shows and celebrity gossipfests, courting "low-info" voters—those mostly white, working class, and undecided folks who haven't been paying much attention to the campaign.

But a surprise win by Hillary Clinton could give her the credibility she needs to sway superdelegates, writes Politico . Five things to watch: East vs. West: Clinton may be edging Obama out in the more rural east, and “if she starts cutting into his margins in the western part of the state, it could be closer,” says a pollster.

- ... And in S. Dakota
  
  Politico | Jun 3, 08 11:49 AM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Unlike most of this year's primaries, South Dakota is a genuine toss-up. Different polls have both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama leading by double digits.
