Did Edwards use an anti-poverty non-profit to bone up on foreign policy and prepare his 2008 run? That's the implication of a fairly surprising (in that it is both fair, and, can be read as surprising only if you haven't been following Edwards for a while ) New York Times story. It's getting traction: it was the top story on Memeorandum all morning. And the AP, suspciously, seemed to have the same story at the same time. When that happens, you can usually bet your sweet sammy that another campaign seeded the idea with the reporters.

Elizabeth Edwards attends gay pride. What's she gonna wear on Folson Street, I wonder?

Did John McCain's campaign gin up the story about Romney operative Jay Garrity? A case can be made that this case is logically difficult to sustain.

Jake Tapper gets to the bottom of the conservative fantasy that Hillary Clinton wants to regulate talk radio. And James Inhofe needs better ear-glasses.

Obama-Bloomberg? Can Bloomberg handle being second?

Fred Thompson's attending his first major rally in Tennessee on Tuesday. He's in South Carolina Wednesday and New Hampshire Thursday.

Speaking of Tennessee: it looks like Sen. Lamar Alexander might be in trouble...

Athiests and agnostics are coming out of the shadows.
