I could not resist commenting on this photo from the NY Times Blog The Caucus. The Caucus reports: “Rednecks love Barack Obama. Or at least two of them do.”
“We hunt, fish, drink beer and support Barrack Obama,” said Tony Viessman, a 74-year old former Hillary Clinton supporter from Rolla, Mo. He and his buddy Les [...]

It is unclear [...]

AP News reports that Clinton and Obama have worked out a deal to give Clinton ”votes in the Democratic roll call for president.” This is reported to be “a step toward an uneasy alliance of former rivals and their still-bitter supporters.”
Some Clinton backers are still not happy with any sort of “deal,” regardless of Clinton’s wholehearted support [...]

An independent agency of the RNC is running an ad using Hillary Clinton’s words from the primaries against Obama. Politico reports that Clinton has responded to the ad:
“I’m Hillary Clinton, and I do not approve that message,” Clinton tells the New York delegation of McCain’s ad that features her old criticism of Obama.

Forget any thing you ever hear from Mark Halprin. These overwhelmingly stupid remarks stunned even his fellow panelists. His premise? That the McCain house flap will rebound on Barack Obama and create serious damage. Please watch. [H/t to TPM for the original catch and Dkos for posting it on the front page.]
