PREFACE:
On FNS, Chuck Schumer (Hillary) and Dick Durbin (Obama) argued as surrogates for their respective junior Senators. Schumer, explaining what Hillary meant she said that sometimes moveon.org "really intimidate[s] people," offered: "In the heat of a campaign, sometimes you get frustrated." Durbin promised that Obama would cut taxes, just not on Capital Gains. Next segment, Karl Rove said that Obama had transformed himself from an inspirational figure to just an "ordinary politician."
On TW, John McCain called Barry on his refusal to condemn Bill Ayers. Steph mentioned McCain-supporter John Hagee and his anti-Catholic remarks, and McCain replied that he condemned Hagee's remarks but was keeping Hagee's support.
On MTP, chief Obama strategist David Axelrod and lead Hillary strategist David Garin might have come to blows if Garin had made eye contact. Garin said that this extended fight was good for the Dem Party because more people are registering Democratic and they're keeping John McCain out of the spotlight.
On FTN, Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell complained bitterly about Obama supporter General Walter Stewart's (retired) remarks that Hillary lacks the moral authority to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier because she lied about snipers in Tuzla. Junior Casey, an Obama supporter, said that it was "irrelevant." It might have been his new vocabulary word.
On LE, Obama supporter Senator Bill Bradley (retired) proposed that Hillary and Obama were fighting only because their positions were so similar and there was nothing else to do. Hillary supporter Jon Corzine responded that Hillary was best able to defeat McCain.
The Show-by-show review is beneath the fold.
