Caroline Kennedy's Political Romanticism — She says that Obama could be a president like her father. I assume that means that he'll be overrated, not that he'll bring us to the brink of nuclear war.

Ed Morrissey / Captain's Quarters:
My Vote — Over a year ago and many times since, I wrote that I could give no endorsement, because I had honestly not made up my mind about which candidate to support. I also told the CapQ community that if I did make a decision, I would announce it as soon as I made it so that they knew where I stood.

OFF THE BUS....I haven't been impressed with very much of the chatter about Barack Obama's primary victory last night. Hillary didn't give a concession speech? Give me a break. Who cares? Turnout was up? Yes, but it's been an exciting and money-filled campaign and turnout has been up everywhere.

Clinton unhinged: In the name of “love” — Bill Clinton is a sick puppy. I didn't say it. His own wife says he's sleep-deprived and so driven by “love” that he can't control himself on the campaign trail. — Love for her? Or love for his own indignant voice and for preservation of his legacy/dynasty?
