Carney announces support
for Clinton “I have
watched this primary
process very closely,
and as I said I would
do, I have weighed the
temperament and
leadership displayed by
Sens. Clinton and Obama
during the course of
this campaign,” Mr.
Carney said in a
statement. “We are
extremely fortunate to
have two very strong
candidates vying to lead
our nation.
Pennsylvania’s 10th
(Congressional) District
(voters) overwhelmingly
chose Sen. Clinton in
the Pennsylvania primary
and I will respect their
decision.”

Nutter, Rendell want
assault-weapons ban
"The time has come for
politicians to decide,"
said Rendell at the City
Hall news conference
attended by top police
brass and state elected
officials. "You have to
decide whether you're on
their side - the men and
women who wear blue - or
whether you're on the
side of the gun lobby."
That’s professor Street
to you Street's
3-credit undergraduate
seminar, "Urban, State
and Local Politics,"
taken by 60 students,
will end Tuesday.
Although Street and
Nutter battled regularly
when Street was mayor
and Nutter was a city
councilman, Nutter
accepted an invitation
to speak to Street's
class. In an exclusive
interview with the Daily
News on Wednesday,
Street wanted to speak
mostly about teaching.
Clinton shows no sign of
quitting
"Now, there are some
folks who have said, 'We
need you to end this
before you get to West
Virginia.' But I think
we want to keep this
going so the people of
West Virginia's voices
are heard," she told a
crowd of supporters
gathered in the Capitol
rotunda, her second West
Virginia appearance in
two days.
Fred Barnes:
Obama-Rendell?
What would Rendell, 64,
bring to the ticket? As
governor of a major
state, he's
automatically a national
political figure. He's
also a former general
chairman of the
Democratic national
committee, which means
he's a party man who
gets along with
Democrats of all types.
Though he backed
Clinton, he's not
identified with any
Democratic faction or
constituency group.

Chris Matthews Ready to Play Hardball in Pa.
Publicly
Matthews has done little to disguise his interest in the race. Asked if
he was running on a recent Colbert cable show, Matthews said this: “Did
you ever want to be something your whole life…? When you grow up, some
kids want to be a fireman. I want to be a Senator….There’s a difference
between being a celebrity and working for the people. And it’s a greater
thing to work for the people than being on television.”

America And after the Civil War, it was a
Republican Congress that passed the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to
the U.S. Constitution. It was a Republican Congress that passed all
major civil rights acts of 1870 and 1871. Even when the Democrats
controlled the Congress, it was Republicans who broke the filibusters
and provided the necessary votes to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964
and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Lowman Henry: Faulty Foundation
Republicans are taking great delight in the street brawl that has
developed over the Democratic Presidential nomination. Senator John
McCain is trotting around the country and the globe acting every bit
like a President-elect who is sitting in the green room just waiting to
take the stage. But, looks can be deceiving and beneath the calm façade
the GOP faces a smoldering problem of its own.
Roger Stone: The Stone Zone
Observations and commentary from one of the Republican party's most
notable operatives, Roger Stone.
"Barack
Obama and
Hillary Clinton
have been campaigning very hard. And now it's down to the wire. In fact,
they're pulling out all the stops. This is the latest. The other day at
a campaign stop in Indiana, Barack Obama lost a game of pick-up
basketball to a 14-year-old. It's true. Meanwhile, across town, Hillary
Clinton single-handedly defeated the entire women's field hockey team."

"Hey, President Bush's daughter
Jenna
is getting married this weekend. There'll be 200 guests at the wedding,
which, according the latest polls, means that 140 of those people at the
wedding disapprove of the job President Bush is doing." --Jay Leno
"How about the presidential Democratic campaign, the primaries? Whoa,
are you kidding me? I mean, today they're in Indiana. My home state. And
also North Carolina. And then, after that, they go to Canada. And then
after the Canadian primaries, they go to Europe. They do the European
[primaries], and the election is still three years away." --David
