Andrew Sullivan / The Daily Dish:
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 …

Bob Herbert / New York Times:
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 …

The Politico:
New Clinton supporter is a potent symbol  —  North Carolina Governor Mike Easley's scheduled endorsement of Senator Hillary Clinton today offers her a potent symbolic and electoral boost in the biggest state left to vote.  —  Easley is a meaningful ally in the culture war she's waging …
Linda Greenhouse / New York Times:
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.

Mary Beth Schneider / Indianapolis Star:
Female factor: White women could be swing vote May 6  —  If Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton wins Indiana's May 6 Democratic primary, the votes of white women may be a huge reason why.  —  An Indianapolis Star-WTHR (Channel 13) poll shows Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama essentially splitting …

Police looking for meth lab, find fish tank  —  Brooklyn Park police were looking for a meth lab, but they found a fish tank and the chemicals needed to maintain it.  —  And a few hours later, when the city sent a contractor to fix the door the police had smashed open Monday afternoon …

Clinton: $2.3B in earmarks  —  Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) has requested nearly $2.3 billion in federal earmarks for 2009, almost three times the largest amount received by a single senator this year.  —  The Democratic presidential candidate's staggering request comes …

U.S. Was ‘Clueless’ on Counterinsurgency  —  WASHINGTON — Paul Wolfowitz, in his first public remarks on the Iraq war in years, said the American government was “pretty much clueless on counterinsurgency” in the first year of the war.  —  The former deputy secretary of defense said yesterday …

DeWayne Wickham / USA Today:
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 …
