Political bits
(Politico) Romney at the National Right to Life convention. "I know that it is not time but conviction that unites us." (What an eloquent way to hide a "flip flop" on a passionate issue.)
(Politico) McCain wasn't at the NRLC convention after being punked by a Romney advisor working there.
(CNN) One of the complications is that McCain was in a "mad dash" for fundraising. (Oh no, McCain didn't just use the word "benchmarks" in describing his fundraising.)
(HuffPo) "If (Bill) Kristol says what I'm doing is right, it must be right," from Joe "I'm so glad he's no longer a Democrat" Lieberman.
(TPM) Charges that Bradley Schlozman was trying to clear the DoJ Civil Rights division of Democrats so that he could replace them with 'good Americans.'
(TPM, NYTimes) Everyone is just shocked that the Obama campaign engages in opposition research.
And, I don't know if I agree with all the assumptions and conclusions, but a very interesting question about the relative strength of the netroots/bloggers versus the newer MySpace model for political candidates.
And, not that I would encourage it, but Michael Moore's Sicko has hit the filesharing services.
Later: Mike Elston, chief of staff to Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty has resigned. "He confirmed his plans to leave but declined further comment." (Doesn't he have a family he can "spend more time with?")
By the way, that's the top five people under Gonzales who have all resigned.

More simplistic, red meat, wedge issue, pandering hate speech in the GOP primary circuit. Lovely.
I know I live in a bubble, but will this sort of White Male power -- we know what's good for you -- daddy-talk work in the general, or are we looking at some serious blow black come the summer of '08?

I never know. The "White male power" language does have a surprisingly strong contingency.
It's one of the more interesting elements of fascism, that people feel their strength by associating themselves with a strong leader.
I'm such a root skeptic of power I never got that, but there are many that love that feeling.
