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: “We know that greenhouse gases are heavily implicated in climate change.”
Chelsea Clinton gives her Mom a Mother’s Day present (sadly, she’s not a Superdelegate): a message about what a devoted mother she is. She asks us all to sign her card.
Sound bite: “I want to wish every mother out there a happy Mother’s Day. And remember your little girls can be anything they want to be in America when they grow up. Even if it’s to be the second woman President.” (Or maybe vice president….)
Evan Engel of CurrentTV decides to ask the candidates what they would decide at 3 a.m. but, of course, the only candidate who’ll talk to him is Mike Gravel. But then Gravel gets pissy about the question.
And then Gravel gets tech support. Who hasn’t done that for Dad?
This is worth the click, at least for the first minutes to see Barack with a light sabre and Hillary as … well, I wouldn’t want to ruin anything….

Citizen Kate, an occasional star here, shows up at a Hillary Clinton rally in Indiana and finds out from Mary Steenburgen that she and her pal Hillary are just regular moms.
Bob Barr, ready to run as a libertarian, takes to YouTube to complain about the Nanny State as exemplified in seven warning labels on Christmas-tree lights. From there he complains about government telling you to wear a helmet when you ride a motorcycle.
Here he is on cutting spending and taxes and repealing the 16th Amendment.
Why the Libertarian Party, you may ask? Barr’s answer.
Why not the Republican Party, you may ask? Barr says the GOP is about staying in office.
Barack Obama answers a question about medical marijuana — he’s in favor — and about the Justice Department going after doctors who prescribe it. He admits that he wouldn’t use much “political capital” on that, what with the need for health insurance and Iraq.
TPM puts up the video of Obama’s new tone on the Rev. Wright. “He was presenting a worldview that contradicts who I am and what I stand for… What particulary angered me was … his suggestion that my previous denunciation of his remarks was somehow political posturing.”
