  (Newser) - After a brutal primary race peppered with “YouTube moments” that tarnished his image, Bill Clinton is back to work, traveling through Africa in support of his charity. “This is my life now, and I was eager to get back to it,” the former president told the Washington Post in an interview. He said little about his campaign gaffes and kept praise of Barack Obama to a minimum. More »

  Wall Street Journal | Aug 1, 08 4:42 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - No matter how long the 2008 campaign drags on, we'll never see Barack Obama as we did Bill Clinton in 1992: drenched in sweat and jogging into a McDonald's.

The Wall Street Journal takes a look at the notion of presidential fitness and wonders if the typical American might find a "beanpole guy," as one voter described him, a little alienating. More »
- McCain Policies Oddly Short on Specifics
  
  Politico | Aug 1, 08 12:07 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - John McCain’s policy cupboards are unusually bare for a presidential candidate, while his rival’s are unusually well stocked, Politico reports.

  Washington Post | Jul 31, 08 10:39 AM CDT

But an Obama spokesman says Luda should be “ashamed” of the tune, which, among its other meditations, calls Hillary Clinton an “irrelevant bitch” and says John McCain “shouldn’t be in any chair unless he’s paralyzed.” More »

  (Newser) - When Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama stumped in Arkansas, each tried on a Southern drawl, and both were roundly mocked as pandering Yankees.

Yet Fred Thompson and Mike Huckabee were allowed to drawl with impunity, writes Jane Hammons of the Columbia Journalism Review , thanks to a stereotypical double standard. More »
