Follow-up on Obama and Fox News  —  I suppose I should follow up my earlier diary on Obama going on Fox News since it has sparked some discussion.  Eugene at Dailykos wrote the following diary, the gist of which was as follows. … That's not really the issue at hand, though of course that is how it's being framed.

Fox News:
TRANSCRIPT: OBAMA ON ‘FNS’  —  Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential candidate from Illinois, sat for an interview Saturday in Indiana with Chris Wallace.  The interview aired on “FOX News Sunday.”  They touched on a wide range of topics including the marathon race to the Democratic nomination …
Hindrocket / Power Line:
DON'T FEAR THE REAPER  —  Barack Obama has boycotted Fox News for the past two years.  Obama's boycott ended today, as he was interviewed by Chris Wallace.  The result suggests that Obama had nothing to fear from the ostensibly hostile crowd at Fox.  —  Obama showed, once again, that he is a rare political talent.

Obama stars in Mississippi attack ad  —  The Republican candidate in a special election to fill an unexpectedly contested seat in a conservative Mississippi congressional district is using recent controversies surrounding Senator Barack Obama to tar his Democratic rival.

McCain calls Obama insensitive to poor people  —  CORAL GALBES, Fla. - Republican presidential candidate John McCain on Sunday called Democratic rival Barack Obama insensitive to poor people and out of touch on economic issues.  —  The GOP nominee-in-waiting rapped his Democratic rival …

Robert H. Frank / Washington Post:
Don't Blame All Borrowers  —  After more than a decade of steep growth, home prices peaked last year and have been falling rapidly.  Over 9 million mortgages are “under water,” meaning that more is owed on them than the home is worth.  As foreclosures mount, additional homes come on the market …

City Journal:
An Anatomy of Surrender  —  Islam divides the world into two parts.  The part governed by sharia, or Islamic law, is called the Dar al-Islam, or House of Submission.  Everything else is the Dar al-Harb, or House of War, so called because it will take war—holy war, jihad—to bring it into the House of Submission.
Discussion: Spectator and Neptunus Lex
Lisa Schiffren / The Corner:
Dylan Does Obama  —  I found this brilliant riff on Bob Dylan's Memphis Blues — The Obama Variations — at the Althouse blog.  She knew she had to share it.  But she felt compelled to apologize for sounding anti-Obama, and pointed out that she considered him first in the flawed field.
Discussion: Power Line and TBogg
Mark Steyn / The Corner:
Re: “Kill the police!”  —  Actually, Kathryn, your post gets right to the heart of the matter.  —  In a scrupulously politically correct age, it's not offensive to organize a “Kill the police!” demo or to preach that the government invented Aids in order to perpetrate an African-American genocide.
Mark Steyn / The Corner:
Leaving the left  —  The Australian columnist Pamela Bone died of cancer this weekend.  She was a feminist, an atheist and most of the other -ists you might expect from a western woman of her general disposition (she was a recipient, among many other awards, of something called the “UN media peace prize").
Michael Isikoff / Newsweek:
In the Rezko Trial, A New Name Surfaces: Karl Rove  —  The trial of Chicago developer and political fixer Antoin “Tony” Rezko has been closely watched for any mention of the defendant's onetime friend, Barack Obama.  But last week, prosecutors threw a curveball, telling the judge …
Mark Silva / The Swamp:
John McCain's war, Howard Dean's war  —  For Howard Dean, the Democratic National Committee chairman who launched his own campaign for president five years ago on the wings of a nascent anti-war movement, the sixth year of the war in Iraq offers fertile ground for his party's 2008 campaign.

Gallup:
Gallup Daily: Clinton and Obama Remain Tied at 47%  —  Clinton remains slightly ahead of McCain in general election  —  PRINCETON, NJ — Gallup Poll Daily tracking finds that national Democratic voters' preferences for their party's nomination remain evenly split, with Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton each receiving 47% support.
Reed Hundt / TPMCafe:
The Real McCain (Tech Version)  —  John McCain is setting a remarkable record: he is the major party Presidential nominee with the skimpiest policy platform since Warren Harding or perhaps Calvin Coolidge.  He's making George Bush's year 2000 policy work look encyclopedic by comparison.
