The New York Times hits John McCain hard in this story about an "inappropriate relationship" with a pretty, female lobbyist. Fortunately, they are dropping this bomb nine months before the general election, which minimizes its impact.

Richard Adams has this piece on why the Clinton campaign has been on a losing streak. Basically, they have been beaten organizationally.

Chuck Todd has these thoughts on why the Obama campaign is close to wrapping up the nomination.

Karl Rove, in this op-ed, says that Obama is vulnerable.

I am still hoping for a Clinton comeback, as that would be the most destructive thing that could happen to the Democratic Party between now and November, but it looks increasingly unlikely. Therefore, the best I can now hope for is that when Clinton is finally dispatched, the media will take a closer look at Obama and begin to find things to write about, like his standard, far-left positions on the issues. I expect that Obama will begin the general election campaign ahead of McCain in the national polls. But, as his positions become clear, despite the soaring rhetoric, those poll numbers will move more in McCain's favor.
