Carol. Moseley. Braun.

Not the Clintons.

Carol. Moseley. Braun.

Not that this story wasn't pathetic to begin with.

But it wasn't even a meet and greet to raise funds for the Clintons.

It was a fundraiser for Carol Moseley-Braun.

The story ends with a faint whimper.

Can you hear Matt Drudge screaming in anger and frustration?

3. I'm finding all of this

incredibly funny.

Do you think there will be any blow-back for the Clinton's in helping Senator Braun?

looks like this one goes all the way to Howard Dean!

7. Matt Lauer tries to tie Hillary to Obama's slumlord

Lauer ambushed Hillary with a photo of Slumlord Rezko posing between Hillary and Bill during his presidency. He asked if she remembered meeting Rezko. Clinton said she did not, and parried, "I don't have a 17-year relationship with him." Now That's a pretty good comeback for an ambush question.

The senator also argued that it wasn't unfair for her to bring up Rezko during the debate. "I try not to attack first," Clinton said, "but I have to defend myself and I do have to counter punch."

If you watched the debate (I did) you know this is true. It was Obama who slung the first mud, saying while he was busy helping the poor, Hillary was on the board at Wal-Mart, which wasn't a mortal sin during the eighties. I thought Obama was the "high road" candidate? Why does he have to resort to mud-slinging to try to win? Hillary can counter-punch like Joe Frazier in his prime. That could be bad for the fresh-faced newcomer.
