MSNBC’s David Shuster is in some hot water for comments he made about Chelsea Clinton. They were inapproporiate. He knows it and has apologized. But this raises the issue of the flame-outs we are seeing in many quarters of this presidential race.
From Chris Nelson’s insider daily political essay, The Nelson Report: . . .Romney today disgraced himself and his party by charging that a Democratic victory in the presidential race will turn America over to the terrorists. As we said, a new abyss. . .
The Clinton campaign has now announced that it has raised a staggering $7.5 million since Super Tuesday. Add this to the announcement from the Obama campaign that it has raised $7.2 million since Tuesday as well. The Republicans must be freaking out. These are huge dollars.
Despite Gov. Romney’s departure from the Republican field, the excitement over the primaries is unlikely to dissipate anytime soon.

A well-placed spouse of a Clinton campaign insider just told me that a rumor is spreading like wild fire in Hillaryland that Al Gore is going to endorse Barack Obama.
Google CEO and New America Foundation Chairman of the Board Eric Schmidt Go back to glasses and the smartish nerd look.
Well, sort of. After nine years of exemplary leadership, Atlantic Monthly National Correspondent James Fallows is stepping down as Chairman of the Board of the New America Foundation — for which I previously served as Executive Vice President and am now Director of the New America Foundation/American Strategy Program.
