Cracker-quiddick Fallout Continues To Haunt SnObama  —  You know Obama's trailing smoke when even George Will piles on and says Obama's on his high horse: … It's a good little review of late-twentieth-century liberal intellectuals, but dude: George Will is now calling him a snob.  George Will:

George F. Will / Washington Post:
Candidate on a High Horse  —  Barack Obama may be exactly what his supporters suppose him to be.  Not, however, for reasons most Americans will celebrate.  —  Obama may be the fulfillment of modern liberalism.  Explaining why many working-class voters are “bitter,” he said they “cling” …
Discussion: Firedoglake and Daimnation!
E. J. Dionne Jr / Washington Post:
Loose Lips and Democratic Ships  —  The Democratic presidential candidates are doing a splendid job of helping John McCain get to the White House.  —  Barack Obama violated two elementary rules of political campaigning.  A candidate should never play the role of a political scientist …

Chris Cillizza / The Fix:
“Bitter-gate”: Where Do We Go Now?  —  Critical mass has been reached.  “Bitter” and “cling” will forever be tied to Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) in the same way that “Tuzla” and “the laugh” will always evoke Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) when a political junkie thinks of the 2008 Democratic race.

Michael Ledeen / The Corner:
Italy: It's a landslide  —  Huge, perhaps historic, victory for Berlusconi's “Popolo della liberta' ” (which translates a bit awkwardly as “the people of liberty;” maybe it's better to call it “the freedom folks").  It's considerably worse than AP lets on.  Berlusconi defeated Walter Veltroni's …

Clinton Stalls Obama, Holds 6-Point Pennsylvania Lead, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds; Many Clinton Dems Would Back Mccain Over Obama  —  New York Sen. Hillary Clinton has stalled Illinois Sen. Barack Obama's drive in the Pennsylvania Democratic primary and holds a 50 …
David Weiner / The Huffington Post:
McCain “Family Recipes” Lifted from the Food Network  —  What will they call it?  Farfallegate?  Rosemary Chicken Dome Scandal?  Perhaps something with the ubiquitous Rachael Ray in it.  —  It seems that Cindy McCain, John McCain's perfect, blonde beer-baroness wife is about to find herself painted …
David Brooks / New York Times:
A Speech About Nothing  —  We're in the middle of a series of historic economic transformations.  —  A string of technological revolutions have made American workers much more productive.  Over the past 30 years, steel producers have reduced the number of hours it takes to produce a ton of steel by up to 90 percent.
Discussion: Betsy's Page
The Politico:
Long-lost article by Obama's dad surfaces  —  Barack Obama's dad was such an important but absent figure in his life that he devoted his first book, Dreams From My Father, to the search for details about his father's life and how the quest helped forge a son's identity.

Will Bunch / Philly.com:
Obama would ask his AG to “immediately review” potential of crimes in Bush White House  —  Tonight I had an opportunity to ask Barack Obama a question that is on the minds of many Americans, yet rarely rises to the surface in the great ruckus of the 2008 presidential race …
Michael Abramowitz / Washington Post:
Jewish Liberals to Launch A Counterpoint to AIPAC  —  Political Funds, Lobbying to Promote Arab-Israeli Peace Deal  —  Some of the country's most prominent Jewish liberals are forming a political action committee and lobbying group aimed at dislodging what they consider the excessive hold …

Bush Defeats Truman  —  Tough But Familiar Numbers for Bush: High Disapproval on Job Performance, Iraq and Economy  —  At 39 months in the doghouse, George W. Bush has surpassed Harry Truman's record as the postwar president to linger longest without majority public approval.
Discussion: Think Progress
Matt / Think Progress:
Lieberman: It's ‘a good question’ to ask if Obama is ‘a Marxist.’  —  In his New York Times column today, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol claimed that Sen. Barack Obama's (D-IL) now-infamous “bitter” remarks sound like Karl Marx's “famous statement about religion.”
Ezra Levant:
Was the CBC afraid to show the Danish cartoons?  “Well, yeah”  —  Two weeks ago, CBC Sunday did an extended segment about how Canada's human rights commissions have been turned into political censors.  Here's my extended review of that documentary.  In short, I thought it was well done …
