Via The Page: “Bill Clinton tells NBC’s Portland, Maine affiliate that he is not a “spouse like any other spouse who can defend his candidate” and now knows he needs to be more careful on the stump.” Watch the interview: H/T to Taylor. UPDATE: AP News expands on this story, reporting that Bill Clinton said he “learned a lesson from the dustup over his remarks on the campaign trail — he can promote his wife’s presidential candidacy, but he’s...

Hillary’s Women
On Open Left, Matt Stoller has an interesting post about Hillary’s Women. Stoller notes that the Clinton campaign had not really tapped into the online donor mode until now and it “is remarkable” that in “about the last 48 hours” the Hillary Clinton campaign has brought in “around $7 million from 45,000 online donors or so.” Clinton was forced to rely on her real base – the women who love her. And unwittingly, with her showing in the Super Tuesday states...

Join The Movement or Has the Obamamania Gotten Out of Hand
I have written here a few times in recent days about of the hype around the Obama “movement” as he calls it and the fact many people don’t want to “join” a “movement,” they want a leader. In some ways, I have told a few people in conversation off The Dem Daily, the Obama “movement” reminds me of the Dean “movement” in ’04, another movement I was not swayed to join. It’s not that I don’t see the attraction...
Donations Pour In For Hillary Clinton
Word has it that donations are pouring in for both the Clinton and Obama campaigns, so gloating Obama supporters can step back a few paces, because Team Clinton is raising donations fast and strong. As I reported here earlier this morning (or late last night), “The media and the blogosphere was a flutter on Wednesday about Hillary Clinton loaning her campaign $5 million.” The Clinton campaign had launched a fundraising effort on Wednesday and the word late last night from Taylor Marsh was that...
