Wright's Poison — I guess I am late to the party, am I not? I didn't watch Jeremiah Wright's National Press Club performance live this morning, as every other blogger seemed to. Wright is not on the ticket of any major party, he is not Barack Obama, and I'm not going to be baited …

The Pastor Casts a Shadow — The Rev. Jeremiah Wright went to Washington on Monday not to praise Barack Obama, but to bury him. — Smiling, cracking corny jokes, mugging it up for the big-time news media — this reverend is never going away. He's found himself a national platform, and he's loving it.
Eugene Robinson / Washington Post:
Where Wright Goes Wrong — We all have our crosses to bear. The Rev. Jeremiah Wright has become Barack Obama's. — I'm sorry, but I've had it with Wright. I would never try to diminish the service he performed as pastor of his Chicago megachurch, and it's obvious that he's a man of great charisma and faith.
Victor Davis Hanson / The Corner:
Past Time for Obama to Say ‘No More’ — Dana Milibank has a sober review of Wright's morning rantings — and what they portend for the Obama campaign. For weeks now Wright has insulted the United States, whites, Jews, Israel, Italians, et al., but confined his media attacks to talk radio and cable news.

HOOK, LINE & SINKER — It seems the AP has fallen for the McCain campaign's and the RNC's effort to prevent anyone from using McCain's own words against him during the 2008 presidential campaign. As noted earlier, what the McCain campaign is pushing for here is a standard …

McCain Strongly Rejected Long-Term Iraq Presence: “Bring Them All Home” — When it comes to getting U.S. troops out of Iraq, Sen. John McCain was for the idea before he was against it. — Three years before the Arizona Republican argued on the campaign trail that U.S. forces could be in Iraq …

In a 6-to-3 Vote, Justices Uphold a Voter ID Law — WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court upheld Indiana's voter identification law on Monday, concluding in a splintered decision that the challengers failed to prove that the law's photo ID requirement placed an unconstitutional burden on the right to vote.

Democrats need dream ticket, but selling it won't be easy — If Democrats are going to win the White House in November, they need a shotgun wedding in June. This is not something that either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton wants to hear, nor is it anything party leaders have been willing to say — at least not publicly.
Christopher Hitchens / Slate:
SHOULD WE WORRY ABOUT JOHN MCCAIN'S TEMPER? — So, a fresh and sly political subtext in a very bizarre campaign season. The two Democratic nominees remain icily calm when in each other's vicinity—plain as it is that they cordially loathe and despise one another—while huge shudders …
