  1. Bill Clinton sure walked back fast from his comments on Romney to Piers Morgan show, #CNN. Smartly done.
  2. Eliz Warren had terrific day -- polls, convention, fiery speech. But from talks in MA, sense Brown has sizable hidden vote.
  3. Warmly recommend: commencement address at Tufts earlier this week by @EricGreitens. Greitens is someone to watch. now.tufts.edu/commencement-a…
  4. Well-deserved salute by William Bennett to one of year's best commencement addresses, @EricGreitens at Tufts: cnn.com/2012/05/23/opi…
  5. @CityYear & @MBrownCY just announced big plan to address #dropoutcrisis -- very impressive and well worth watching: ow.ly/aZURv
  6. Video from last night's segment on @AC360 discussing Obama campaign focus on #Bain: ac360.blogs.cnn.com/2012/05/21/dav…
  7. Hillary Clinton & Co deserve great credit for getting Chen out of China. Right result for Chen and enhances US honor.
  8. Just spent 2 days in Wisconsin -- Madison, Green Bay, Milwaukee. Wide sense that GOP's Walker will win recall, have ripple effect
  9. Credit where due: Obama showed political courage on gay marriage. Yes, energized base -- but big risk in 7 key states politico.com/news/stories/0…
  10. Worth reading Lugar's farewell statement: classy and compelling on need for bipartisan mindset. Like the man himself. politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/05/08/in-…
  11. Lugar farewell, like the man himself, a classy, compelling statement on need for bipartisan mindset. Urgent reading politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/05/08/in-…
  12. I have always been proud to be from NC because it was a leader in changing a segregated South. One day it will reverse gay ban. #CNN
  13. Dick Lugar was punished by Indiana voters not only for age but for willingness to reach across aisle. Extremely disappointing. #CNN
  14. Saddened as well to see voters in my home state of NC insert ban on gay marriage in constitution. One day we will reverse. #CNN
  15. Sad day: Dick Lugar's defeat means Senate loses one of its classiest members, partisanship likely to get even worse. #CNNElections
  16. Dick Lugar, long one of US's classiest pols, needs help from all in IN primary Tues. @Peggynoonannyc makes case well: online.wsj.com/article/SB1000…
  17. If Chen & family leave China, friends safe as now seems, much credit due Hillary, her team, and Obama admin. Need to keep up media scrutiny
  18. Fascinating pairing“@NickKristof: Discussion today with @BillHybels at @WillowCreekCC about "Half the Sky" (video) media.willowcreek.org
  19. With French elections, an 11th govt falls in Europe -- but bigger consequences for French-German alliance, Eurozone, possibly US.
