Speaking in Warren, Michigan, Barack Obama says as President he can spur the growth of manufacturing in the U.S.
Sound Bite: “American automakers are on the move. But we have to do more. They can’t do it on their own. They need a partner in the White House.”
Uh, on second thought, maybe Chris Matthews is right. Here’s Rev. James David Manning on “The Trinity of Hell” — Obama, Oprah and Rev. Wright.
Blacks and whites come together in Marietta, GA for a reasoned conversation on race in America.
Even though 65% of white folks are now voting for Hillary Clinton and 90% of blacks are voting for Barack Obama, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews thinks no one should be talking about race.
Sound Bite: “It’s almost like she’s [Clinton's] the Al Sharpton of white people.”
Hillary’s still standing after her crushing victory in West Virginia and she’s still making her case to the super delegates.
The Red State Update boys — Jackie Broyles and Dunlap — explain why Hillary is losing even though she’s winning.
Whattya mean Obama can’t attract white male voters? Here’re some white guys telling why they dig Obama. (Unfortunately they’re a bunch of liberal Democrats from Oregon. Wouldn’t you like to see these guys chatting up those West Virginia voters who think Obama is a Muslim.)
John McCain goes to greenland, Oregon, to present his environmental plan.
Sound bite: “Whether we call it climate change or global warming, in the end, we’re all left with the same set of facts.” That is, he says, a likelihood of less water, more storms, less food.

Sound bite: “Wiser ways and a healthier planet.”
He likes nuclear. And he can pronounce it!
The current narrative being peddled by Clinton surrogates is that “working-class” white Democratic voters won’t vote for Barack Obama in November. True? Not true? Who knows? But it looks like the Obama folks aren’t taking any chances. They’re launching a national effort to register as many new voters (Obama voters, that is) as possible.
Mad Mike Gravel is 78 today. And he’s partying hearty. Then it’s on to the Libertarian Party Convention on May 22 in Denver!
Those MoveOn.org folks are busy, busy, busy. And now they’re doing humor. Their new video — “The Bush-McCain Challenge” — proves yet again that comedy is hard, and political advocacy comedy is even harder.
A soft-spoken Hillary Clinton thanks her supporters for, uh, just for being her supporters. Oh yeah, and for helping her win the Indiana primary. She says she’s going to keep on campaigning and if anyone wants to help out, she’d be grateful.
John McCain says he’s as green as any Democrat, but he’s got “a better way” to deal with climate change and the environment.
