Hillary Clinton's campaign needs something. They need some turning point here before the March 4th primaries in Texas and Ohio to stop Obama's momentum. Maybe the "plagiarism" issue will work? You've probably heard about it but just in case read below from The Guardian and then we'll discuss:
Don't worry. I'm not actually relocating to Texas. I'm still based out of DC but this week I'll be in Texas for the big Obama/Clinton debate in Austin this Thursday. I will also be putting together a story on the Latino vote down in Texas and how much of a difference that will make.
I don't need a talking point memo from Obama's strategist David Axelrod or a "fact sheet' from Obama researchers. I know what is going on here. If Obama faces off against John McCain in the General Election, get ready to hear this line in every speech: "Bush/McCain".

The head Italy's Association of Moroccan Women claims that some Muslim women in Italy are kept chained up in their homes. Souad Sbai says "In northern Italy, there are women that live chained at home, from the kitchen to the bathroom, without being able to open the door."
Our friends at HotAir.com have an excellent roundup of the latest Mugniyeh-related news here, including footage of the immediate aftermath of the car bombing that killed the master terrorist. Read--and watch--it all. Here's one of the more interesting tidbits that HA links to, and which I suggested may happen on yesterday's CBN Newswatch. From Haaretz:
The top 10 finalists will be selected on May 1 and will be flown to Virginia Beach for an all-inclusive weekend where they will compete at a live webcast event on the campus of Regent University May 31 - June 1. A grand prize winner will be selected by onsite industry professional judges and will receive a full tuition-paid scholarship.
CBNNews.com - One year ago today the first U.S. surge troops arrived in Iraq. In the twelve months since, the progress has been absolutely astounding, and I'd go so far as to assert that the war is won - though we still have some mopping up to do.
