The big international news over the holiday weekend was Israel raiding a Turkish Flotilla that was delivering humanitarian aide to Gaza. This of course has become a really big story, resulting in enormous pressure on the U.S. to walk that fine line between two allies.

Representative James E. Clyburn, an undeclared superdelegate from South […]
Her campaign is massive debt: Barack Obama began the month of April with a 5-1 cash advantage over a debt-saddled Hillary Rodham Clinton, setting the stage for his lopsided spending in the crucial primary state of Pennsylvania.
