Those are interesting numbers -- but can you let us know the source?

There is a time to fight the battle to reclaim the word "liberal". But on the eve of a competitive primary in Indiana, there's more important work to be done.

Sounds like she wants to keep the tax returns out of the April 16 PA debate, and that she is still considering the April 19 NC debate -- but she wants to keep the returns out of that debate, too.

More people approve of George W. Bush than believe this smear campaign -- 30% by Fox's own poll.

Put a fork in it. This story is done.

Don't underestimate the voters of Michigan: Nearly half of them didn't vote for Clinton, even though they were give little other option.

Michigan was stripped of its delegates in October 2007. Barack Obama, John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich and Joe Biden all removed their names from the ballot, as the DNC requested. This was a particularly hard blow to John Edward's campaign, as he was counting on a good showing in Michigan.

Clinton had three months to work on an alternative settlement for Michigan before voting started. Funny how it didn't happen until she had something to gain.

This shows that: 1.) the numbers between Obama and McCain are soft, and they will both have to fight for Independents; 2.) Clinton's lack of appeal among Independents is a constant.

Jeremiah Wright was born in the 1940s -- he's certainly old enough to remember segregation. Is it really surprising that he's indignant about the legacy of race in the US?

Wright has said nothing new, and bringing him up at this point is a transparent ploy to construe Obama as an archetypal "Angry Black Man" -- the same image Geraldine Ferraro was trying to evoke with the line about "they're attacking me because I'm white".

Sinbad/Clinton 2008! Can't wait for the Sinbad-McCain debates.

Now is the time for Sinbad to reach out to Hillary Clinton's supporters by letting it be known that he would be willing to consider her for VP on his ticket.

Sinbad/Clinton '08 -- Have you ever been experienced? They have.
