Clinton stoops below McCain (who won’t criticize Obama for remarks his pastor has made) and takes on Rev Wright:
Clinton decided to weigh in on the Rev. Jeremiah Wright controversy, telling the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, “He would not have been my pastor,” Clinton said. “You don’t choose your family, but you choose what church you want to […]

As I’m sure you recall, Senator Clinton’s campaign ran an extraordinarily petty negative ad spot earlier in the cycle claiming that Barack Obama was refusing to join her in televised debates (Obama’s campaign responded with an ad of their own).

Pat Buchanan apparently thinks that slavery was the best thing that ever happened to Black people:
First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the […]

MR. TODD: May 6th is the D-Day. We will know where this race is going on May 6th. May 6th is North Carolina, Indiana. If they split, Obama’s probably going to be the nominee. […]
