Though she has now apologized for that very strange and tasteless comment to the Argus-Leader, this was not the first time she’s said it. This from her interview with TIME Managing Editor Richard Stengel, published March 6:

TIME: Can you envision a point at which–if the race stays this close–Democratic Party elders would step in and

Ambinder has the pool report. NBC and CNN both sent MDs, assume we’ll see in-depth analysis from them soon. I was amused by this, from his most recent physical: “alcohol: very infrequent. two drinks per month.” I always lie to my doctor about this question, but having seen his staff go through a bar, I assume there’s not much left for him.

Subtle!

“My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it,” she said, dismissing calls to drop out.

UPDATE: From the campaign: “Senator Clinton’s statement before the …

CNN is reporting, and the blogs are amplifying, that Clinton and Obama are in “formal talks” about her coming onto the ticket as the VP. That there are talks happening may well be true, but the chatter I’m hearing these days is that Hillary does not want the job. Taking it would repudiate all of the arguments she’s made for why she …

For months, John McCain has been taking flak for being endorsed by Rev. John Hagee, a controversial Texas pastor. But he has repeatedly resisted calls to reject the endorsement, saying he did not share Hagee’s more controversial views, and repudiated them. But he also argued that he did not have to agree with all the views of those who …

UNION CITY, Calif. — This morning’s event was called a “roundtable” discussion, but the table John McCain sat at was actually shaped like the wings of a B-2 Bomber–two rectangles jutting out at an obtuse angle. As promised, however, there was a lot of give and take between McCain and his fellow panelists, which included a star-studded …

Obama thinks so. In an unorthodox move, Obama scolded McCain on the issue from the floor of the Senate today:

“I respect Sen. John McCain’s service to our country. He is one of those heroes of which I speak. But I can’t understand why he would line up behind the President in his opposition to this GI Bill. I can’t believe why he
