Hillary Clinton
Here is the video of Hillary Clinton on Bill O'Reilly's show "The Factor" on Fox News.
O'Reilly says that her views sound socialist and Hillary responds.
It's great to see McCains competition respond to direct questions about the issues.
The interview will continue tommorow and they will discuss the War and American Security.
I suspect that some of the things said by Clinton will be useful in the coming weeks as she may back away from her comments or say that they were "Taken out of context". :)

Here is a discussion between Fred Barnes and Mort Kondracke on The Beltway Boys about the weakness Barack Obama is showing among key Democratic voting groups -- which just may provide a significant opening for John McCain in the General Election.

From Rasmussenreports.com
Saturday, April 26, 2008
On as series of key Election 2008 issues, voters generally trust Democrats more than Republicans on most key electoral issues. At the same time, however, John McCain is trusted more than Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama on these issues (see video report). This ability of McCain to outperform the party label helps explain why he is competitive with the Democrats in national polling.The Economy
Forty-eight percent (48%) trust Democrats more than Republicans when it comes to the economy while 40% trust the GOP more. Those numbers are reversed when real names are inserted instead of party labels. Given a choice between McCain and Clinton, 47% trust McCain more while 42% prefer the former First Lady. Given a choice between McCain and Obama on the economy, 46% trust the GOP nominee while 39% opt for the Democratic frontrunner. The economy is the top issue of Election 2008 and is considered Very Important by 79% of voters. read more »

Barack Obama diverted from a DNC talking point that "McCain would be nothing more than a 3rd Bush term" by saying, "And all three of us[presidential candidates] would be better than George Bush."
Obama made the statment during a campaign rally in Reading PA.
The DNC has been promoting their belief that a McCain win would constitute a 3rd Bush term. Now they are left scrambling to explain what Obama must have "meant" to say.
Both camps have repsonded with what you would expect them say via AP:
Said Tucker Bounds, a McCain spokesman: "The remark underscores that John McCain has the strength to change America and move this nation forward. Barack Obama is a new face who represents old ideas."
Countered Obama spokesman Bill Burton: "It's hard to imagine a president doing a worse job than President Bush but one thing is clear, John McCain wants to do his best to emulate Bush's failed economic and foreign policies and even his divisive political tactics."

Here is a local news report of Sen. John McCain campaigning today in Pittsburgh, PA. The report contains a clip in which Sen. McCain hits both Obama and Clinton for promising "change," which he says includes their support of over 1 trillion dollars in new taxes over the next decade - "change indeed." He also called for suspension of Federal taxes on gasoline from Memorial Day to Labor Day this year, which would shave off 18 cents a gallon for consumers.

Here is a great analysis by Richard Baehr of the electoral vote path to victory for Sen. John McCain. He begins his article be assessing why this should be a Democratic year, and then moves to what McCain's strengths are and how he can win:
McCain's strengthDespite all this, John McCain is in very good shape for the general election run. The Republicans have landed on the one candidate in their party ideally suited for the race this year, with broad appeal among Democrats and independents, a veteran and war hero during a time of war, a candidate with a reputation for being a straight talker (and not talking down to voters, or outright lying to them), and with real strength in larger swing states. McCain is also benefiting from the fact that the Democrats continue to snipe at each other rather than at him, and each candidate has exposed weaknesses in the other, which become ammunition for McCain in the fall campaign.
McCain opens up the map to a broader Electoral College victory than George Bush achieved in 2000 and 2004, particularly against Barack Obama. read more »
