- So Obama said something about bitterness and everyone is sure that everyone else is outraged. Kate, Mori, and Scott have more.
- Noam Scheiber thinks Clinton is trying too hard to capitalize on the gaffe.
- Christopher Beam points out that Clinton has almost certainly written off the possibility of a Gore endorsement since she’s mocking him in public now.
- Matt Yglesias notes that McCain’s California campaign manager is kinda a failure. Of course, being the California campaign manager for a Republican presidential candidate is like being in charge of making the case for gay marriage in Mississippi -- no matter how hard you try, you’re not going to do well (though Republicans do raise a fair amount of money in California).
- New York Magazine asks if McCain is Bob Dole. Me, I think he’s John McCain. But it is worth thinking back to the last time a cantankerous, grizzled militarist ran for president.
- I don’t know if this Clinton ad is on the air or just on the interweb, but it’s fantastic.
- Referring to a black man as a “boy” is, um, really really racist. Even if you apologize. Just sayin’. 'Course, he’s a Republican, so he’ll be fine.
- The “it’s raining McCain” video turns out, alas, not to have been intended as a sincere tribute to John McCain.
