Clinton dismisses weekend losses  —  WHITE MARSH, Maryland (CNN) — Hillary Clinton on Monday explained away Barack Obama's clean sweep of the weekend's caucuses and primaries as a product of a caucus system that favors “activists” and, in the case of the Louisiana primary, an energized African-American community.

Why Democrats must choose Obama  —  The manager or the visionary.  Hillary Clinton's own supporters - the candidate herself, in speech after speech - have cast the fight this way.  Stirred emotions and soaring rhetoric are all very well, goes the line.  If that is what you want, vote for Barack Obama.
