What That McCain Article Didn't Say  —  BILL KELLER, the executive editor of The Times, said the article about John McCain that appeared in Thursday's paper was about a man nearly felled by scandal who rebuilt himself as a fighter against corruption but is still “careless about appearances …

What is the Times thinking?  —  The only thing more shocking that the New York Times printing salacious innuendo about a presidential candidate is its editor not understanding why this caused controversy.  I'm not sure whether he's isolated or clueless or issuing cynical spin.

Clinton Slams Obama Tactics  —  CINCINNATI - Accusing the Obama campaign of using tactics “that are right out of Karl Rove's playbook,” Senator Hillary Clinton angrily denounced Senator Barack Obama on Saturday for sending fliers to Ohio voters that she called misleading and false.
Kenneth P. Vogel / The Politico:
HRC: ‘Shame on you, Barack Obama’  —  CINCINNATI, Ohio — Hillary Rodham Clinton ripped Barack Obama Saturday for mailings his campaign is sending to Ohio voters that Clinton said distorted her record on NAFTA and universal health care.  —  “Shame on you, Barack Obama,” …
Matthew Yglesias:
The Re-Up  —  I think the NAFTA mailing that comes in for secondary discussion in this article is harsh but well within the bounds of basic politics.  The health care flier is, however, pretty seriously dishonest as other Obama fans have noted in earlier incarnations.

Obama Ducks Out Again  —  But this time it's on his own community.  Ohio, that's where Obama will be, along with Texas: “In the final stretch, I will be on the campaign trail every day in states like Ohio, Texas and Wisconsin talking directly with voters about the causes that are at the heart …
Patrick Healy / New York Times:
Soldiering On, but Somber as the Horizon Darkens  —  To her longtime friends, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton sounds unusually philosophical on the phone these days.  She rarely uses phrases like “when I'm president” anymore.  Somber at times, determined at others, she talks to aides …

Peter—the wager.  —  I still maintain that the Clintons (if she can squeak by in the next two primaries) will use every means to find a way to challenge, seat, or sway delegates to win the nomination, regardless of the aggregate popular vote or ongoing delegate count.
