- Various high-level Clinton advisors reiterate that Hillary will need to win Ohio and Texas to stay viable. [Washington Post]
- John McCain and Barack Obama respectfully disagree about pretty much everything, but particularly about the war in Iraq. [Washington Post]
- "The most technologically advanced border security initiative in American history" has run into, uh, technical problems, so the "virtual fence" project is getting delayed. [Washington Post]
- If Barack Obama is the Democratic presidential nominee, and if his race ends up magically guaranteeing a substantitve, non-racist debate between him and John McCain on the issues, then that will be nice, but boring. [LA Times]

c'mon Bloomberg! with Nader in, we need someone to balance stupidity votes out!
oh, and WOO PUTIN!
Medvedev, who cares if he's qualified. Is he hawt?
The byline on that LA Times article:
By Maria L. La Ganga and Mark Z. Barabak
Middle initials? For those names? Really? Goddamn, journalists are the most pretentious fucks on earth.
Does Medvedev do a Putin and kiss little boys belly's making most folks who see the pics feel all awkward and skeevy?
@Botswana Meat Commission FC:
Forget middle initials. Her family name is La Ganga. Is she from Jamaica? I'm having a Beevis and Butthead moment here.
I caught a bit of CNN this morning talking about how a potential Bloomberg endorsement would affect McCain or Barry.... because if there's any politician with a HUGE nationwide grassroots following, it's the Jewish billionaire technocrat mayor of NYC.
Yes, but has Bush looked into Medvedev's eyes?
KGB or not, as long as he poisons his rivals while every opposition journalist is gunned down by unknown assassins that remain on the lam, he's got my vote.
@Botswana Meat Commission FC: Maria L. La Ganga reads like a pseudonym for journalist at High Times.
Couldn't have teamed up Maria L. La Ganga with a more appropriate co-writer, like P.J. Weed, J.R. Stone or Johnny Marijuanaseed?

This would be thee greatest time for Michael Bloomberg to run for president --- no Rudy Giuliani to awkwardly contend with.
Ah, there wouldn't be a picture of this Dmitri Medvedev in a Taliban outfit at a Madressa would there?
