-Reverend Wright provoked anew with an appearance at the National Press Club that added fuel to the controversy dogging Barack Obama. Some say this was a blessing in disguise for Obama, as he was given the opportunity to divorce himself from his former pastor once and for all.
-Whether it was Reverend Wright or the momentum from Pennsylvania, Hillary Clinton has managed to close in on Obama's lead in North Carolina and pull ahead in Indiana. This according to polls, which have been pretty accurate in the last few contests.
-John McCain, who has been using his time out of the limelight to test his message around the country, made a gaffe by speaking about alternative energy in such as way as to unintentionally imply that we have sent troops to the Middle East solely for oil. Decide for yourself: Click Here. McCain will now spend the better part of the weekend clarifying these remarks to his critics. He is certainly not the first candidate to "misspeak" on the trail.
-On that same point, McCain proposed a gas tax holiday, which was quickly seconded by Clinton and rebuked by Obama.
-Lastly, Obama won the Guam Caucuses by a mere seven votes, demonstrating that the Democratic race is as tied as ever.
