Per Politico.

The MSM is starting to move in full force toward the general election. Last week we had TIME declaring Obama the winner.To that end, Newsweek gives us a look at what to look forward to for the next six months.

No, he isn't changing his endorsement, but he is none too pleased with Clinton's talk about white voters. Good for him.

FYI: The quote at the bottom is, "Really we're pretty sure this time."

No, I'm not talking about her Iran saber-rattling. I'm talking about damning the common-sense torpedoes and moving to ramming speed, blowing up the Democratic Party in the process.

The Kantor Indiana story is starting to hit the mainstream, and Kantor has responded to Huffpo.

Obama has started pushing back hard on the transparent attempt by Clinton and McCain to pander to voters. He's going after them in speeches, and now he's using the internets to prove his points.

Ryan Lizza from the New Yorker has a fascinating piece up on a part of the campaign that hasn't really been covered, the Bill Clinton/Obama dynamic, and Bill's inability to adjust to the new media age.

I've written a number of diaries on Obama and basketball. It's his first love, after all. He is wisely using his love of basketball in Indiana, a basketball-crazed state, holding a 3-on-3 game tonight. The game below the jump.

This is pretty outrageous. John McCain, who has been skirting campaign finance laws at nearly every turn, gets a helping hand and a big discount for one of his fundraisers.

Since the "debate" on Wednesday, ABC has been in defense mode, considering the overwhelming criticism they have received. The Huffington post has done analysis of the four one-on-one debates between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, and the results are very revealing.

Folks, Obama has done it again. On the heels of that awful debate, where he clearly (unfortunately) got pummled, Obama went on to discuss the issue of the "distractions" that seem to overwhelm discussion of real policy issues. He went on to discuss the problem when the media and other campaings focus on these "gotcha" distractions, and how to deal with them. The rest is history.

The response to the awful ABC debate from various internet blogs and commenters has been overwhelmingly negative. Now, the MSM is getting in on the act.

Being a huge basketball fan myself, I've written previously about how important basketball is to Obama's life. Obama has spoken out on the subject and how basketball influenced his early years in Hawaii, as well as his time leading up to meeting and marrying his wife. Real Sports interviewed Obama recently on how basketball influenced him, and tagged along with him to watch him on the court.

More bigotry from the Republicans. Truly disgusting.

DIGG IT UP!

BUZZ IT UP!

Hillary's foray into republican talking points continues. On the heels of her attacking Obama over bittergate, she has now fully embraced the dark side.

The latest scandal is in full force: Bitter Gate. Obama, sensing there may be a problem (even if what he said was perfectly fine), decided to turn back the attacks as only he can do.

Lanny Davis' loathing screed has already been documented here and elsewhere, so I won't go into the details. I'd rather discuss the mocking that it is getting elsewhere.
