Political bits
(Politico) Obama campaign chief David Plouffe is in North Carolina. (They say it's not about Edwards.)
(CNN) McCain may have some complications with the FEC.
(His loan strategy of stepping into, out of, and back into public financing may be a problem.)
(CNN) McCain is trying to fundraise off the NYTimes article.
(Politico) It's bringing Limbaugh and the rest to McCain's defense.
(ThinkProgress) With conditions.
(AP) Obama wins the Democrats Abroad primary.
And, (CNN) In Beaumont,Texas, Bill Clinton said his wife has to win both Ohio and Texas or she loses the nomination. (Was that off the cuff? Are the campaign folks pulling their hair out?)
Later: (Politico) Obama lawyer Bob Bauer is making some explicit threats against the participants in the new pro-Clinton 527.
(ABC/WaPo poll) Another poll showing Obama is closing. Clinton +7 in Ohio, tied in Texas.
(Curious question: In all the states since Super Tuesday, the formula has been a week or two of Obama advertising followed by 3 or four days of campaigning, and in each case he surged.
With the 2 week window for Texas and Ohio, will Obama ceiling, surge and fade, or keep growing?)

Do you ever wonder if maybe Bill isn't so crazy about the idea of being First Husband?
More seriously, perhaps he is preparing the ground for a semi-graceful withdrawal from the race.

I've wondered that, but my guess is that if it's there, it may just be on a subconscious level, you know?
And, Maybe, but that ground has already been laid by press expectations.
My guess is he was trying to motivate. "Only you can prevent forest fires."

bill also said something along the lines of "it is up to you (the voters) if she gets it or not"...laying the blame on the voters not the campaign...it's never the clintons' fault, always remember that above anything else!

Yeah, that's why I'm wondering whether it was intended as a "fire up" kinda statement. Beaumont is about Texas most homogenous blue collar area.

"Obama lawyer Bob Bauer..."
Legal wrangling aside, what this shows me is the Obama campaign is will to play hardball. The will need to show both their opponents AND supporters they're not gonna take shit from nobody. The trick, as Mike pointed out earlier, is to still look like the white-hat campaign while their playing tough.

Yeah, specific to this, this is a pretty weak position. Effectively, he was offering unsolicited "free legal advice " to the 527.
