Brummett concludes Obama was wronged by the Clintons in the exchange over Reagan and Republican ideas.
The Clinton’s hard-ball politics consume the press coverage in Washington Post.
LA Times has new polling — Clinton leading, but Obama closing gap; McCain-Romney-Huckabee closely grouped on the Republican side, though with recent momentum in McCain’s favor. In this poll, either Clinton or Obama leads numerically in every potential general election matchup except in the case of Obama-McCain. There, McCain had a statistically inconsequential 1-point edge. Clinton’s four-point edge over McCain was within the margin of error.
Also, I know the Clintons are the parsers and hardballers and all, but I note Rep. Steve Harrelson raising mild questions about Obama’s unusual record of “present” and erroneous votes as an Illinois legislator. An effort to play both sides? Nah, only Clintons do that, not St. Barack.
And speaking of presidential hard ball, the pro-Huckabee push pollers are spreading their poison in Florida and Missouri now.
