Late Night Election News

By Jeralyn

Here's an late-night roundup:

• NY Times: Al Gore and John Edwards are holding back on endorsements. Gore, in particular, is waiting in the wings to play mediator if the race doesn't tip soon towards Hillary or Obama.

• NY Times: Some New York City superdelagates holding firm for Hillary, even in districts Obama won.

• NY Times: McCain v. Obama on public financing. The League of Women Voters weighs in on this.

• AP: Hillary says she can beat Obama and McCain. For her, it's not "Yes, we can" but "Yes, we will."

• AP: Obama on Hillary: "I understand that Senator Clinton, periodically when she's feeling down, launches attacks as a way of trying to boost her appeal," he told reporters." Here's the video. Sexist? Very, says Lambert at Corrente Wire. [More...]

’Cause you know how women are….

Driven by feelings…. Worried about their [sex] appeal… Prone to tears… The whole phases of the moon thing…

And did you catch the dogwhistle in “periodically”?

NOTE Apparently, Andrea Mitchell and Norah O’Donnell noticed as well. Even if the boys on the bus didn’t — or approved.

I'm not going to top that one (or touch it) so I think I'll end here.
