Clinton Goes Nuclear: New Ad Tests Obama
Alex:
Hillary Clinton, in my opinion - I'm afraid at this point I'm not sure how else to put this - acts like an idiot (of late and/or too often). This is my recent experience with her:
Hillary Clinton at the University of Maine - The view from outside, turned away, in the cold
It's not supposed to be about fear (in terms of how we select our leaders), and yet as long as President Bush and others can have some political success with both fear and/or negative campaigning, it will certainly continue. Clinton ad on Obama story below
Clinton Goes Nuclear: New Ad Tests Obama
Excerpt:
""It's 3:00am and your children are asleep," the voice over says. "There's a phone in the White House, and it's ringing. Something is happening in the world. Your vote will decide who answers that call."
"Whether someone knows the world's leaders, knows the military, someone tested and ready to lead. It's 3am and your children are safe and asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?""

Clinton raises $35 million in February
Excerpt:
"Hillary Clinton's camapign is set to announce later today that she's on track to raise roughly $35 million in the month of February, a huge month by any standard measure of political fundraising and her best of the campaign.
A Clinton advisor confirmed the figure, which is enough to suggest that money won't be an obstacle to Clinton's campaign going forward — though Clinton is still being heavily outspent by Barack Obama and his labor allies in Texas and Ohio. The surge has been fueled largely online contributions that Clinton has said are coming in to the tune of $1 million a day."

McCain's Canal Zone Birth Prompts Queries About Whether That Rules Him Out - The New York Times
McCain's Canal Zone Birth Prompts Queries About Whether That Rules Him Out - The New York Times
Excerpt:
"Mr. McCain’s likely nomination as the Republican candidate for president and the happenstance of his birth in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936 are reviving a musty debate that has surfaced periodically since the founders first set quill to parchment and declared that only a “natural-born citizen” can hold the nation’s highest office.
Almost since those words were written in 1787 with scant explanation, their precise meaning has been the stuff of confusion, law school review articles, whisper campaigns and civics class debates over whether only those delivered on American soil can be truly natural born. To date, no American to take the presidential oath has had an official birthplace outside the 50 states."
Bush: Obama 'better stay focused' on Clinton
Excerpt:
"Pressed again on the question later in his 45-minute press conference, Bush had some advice for the Democratic senator from Illinois: "I believe Sen. Obama better stay focused on his campaign with Senator Clinton, neither of whom has secured their party's nominee yet -- nomination yet."

RUSSERT'S LOWEST MOMENT (AND THAT'S SAYING A LOT)
RUSSERT'S LOWEST MOMENT (AND THAT'S SAYING A LOT)
Excerpt:
"I discussed this in the live debate blog. But I think it's worth going back and watching Russert's run of shame here. I would say it was borderline to bring up the issue of Farrakhan at all. But perhaps since it's getting some media play you bring it up just for the record, for Obama to address.
That's not what Russert did. He launches into it, gets into a parsing issue over word choices, then tries to find reasons to read into the record some of Farrakhan's vilest quotes after Obama has just said he denounces all of them. Then he launches into a bizarre series of logical fallacies that had Obama needing to assure Jews that he didn't believe that Farrakhan "epitomizes greatness"."
The New York Times - William F. Buckley Jr. Is Dead at 82
The New York Times - William F. Buckley Jr. Is Dead at 82
Excerpt:
"He also found time to write at least 55 books, ranging from sailing odysseys to spy novels to celebrations of his own dashing daily life, and to edit five more. His political novel “The Rake” was published last August, and a book looking back at the National Review’s history in November; a personal memoir of Barry Goldwater is due to be publication in April, and Mr. Buckley was working on a similar book about Ronald Reagan for release in the fall.
The more than 4.5 million words of his 5,600 biweekly newspaper columns, “On the Right,” would fill 45 more medium-sized books.
Mr. Buckley’s greatest achievement was making conservatism — not just electoral Republicanism, but conservatism as a system of ideas — respectable in liberal post-World War II America."

Clinton doesn't vow to go on beyond March 4
Excerpt:
"The closing scene -- and Hillary Clinton's last words -- at the crucial debate Thursday night in Texas set pundits to opine that, just perhaps, Clinton is coming to terms with the fact that she's not going to win the Democratic nomination.
In appearances on the three broadcast network morning shows today, Clinton did little to rebut that interpretation. Asked directly whether she would soldier on, no matter what happens in the make-or-break primaries in Ohio and Texas on March 4, she refused to say.
"I don't make predictions," she said on NBC's "Today" show."

McCain's Ties to Lobbyist Worried Aides - Washington Post
Excerpt:
"Members of the senator's small circle of advisers also confronted McCain directly, according to sources, warning him that his continued ties to a lobbyist who had business before the powerful commerce committee he chaired threatened to derail his presidential ambitions.
Appearing before reporters this morning in Toledo, Ohio, McCain flatly denied receiving such warnings from his aides and said he had no knowledge that Weaver or anyone else on his staff had told Iseman to keep her distance. He also denied that he and Iseman had been romantically involved, despite a report in the New York Times that his aides were concerned that such a relationship existed."

Wisconsin Loss Highlights Problems For Clinton Campaign
Wisconsin Loss Highlights Problems For Clinton Campaign
Excerpt:
"But one reason why Clinton’s loss in Wisconsin should be a cause for concern for the campaign is that Obama was able to tap into key groups of Clinton supporters, particularly white voters and working class voters who make less than $50,000 per year. And if key demographics are not turning out for Clinton, she may find herself with a similar problem in Texas and Ohio, even though the campaign feels confident Clinton can win there because of the large numbers of two groups that tend to support Clinton, primarily Hispanics in Texas and working class Democrats in Ohio."
