Can Oregon and Kentucky Head Off a Rules Fight?
The Democratic nomination? Barack Obama will have the delegates he needs to claim it. What hasn’t been resolved yet is how fiercely and for how long Hillary Clinton will challenge him. The outcome of Tuesday’s primaries could go a long way to determining this.
The votes in Kentucky and Oregon are the last Democratic contests scheduled before a May 31 meeting of the Democratic National Committee’s Rules and Bylaws Committee, a panel that figures to return to the obscurity it richly deserves as soon as this campaign is over. At the May 31 session, the 30-member committee will hear challenges from Democrats in Michigan and Florida, who were stripped by the national party of their convention delegates for scheduling their primaries in violation of the D.N.C.’s calendar. read more »

Urban County Councilman Bill Farmer Jr. went on the attack in a TV commercial with partisan overtones. It compares corporate attorney Jim Newberry to Democratic U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton.- Tom McGeveranIn the 30-second ad, airing on all three major network affiliates, Newberry is labeled as a "liberal Democrat," while Farmer is called a "conservative." The race is ostensibly non-partisan.

The ad says that the Hillary Clinton-like plan created by the task force "increased the price of health care, covered fewer people and drove doctors and jobs out of Kentucky. We can't afford Jim Newberry and Hillary Clinton's ideas."

Farmer's ad also features trick photography, Rabold said, pointing out that it begins with a shot of Newberry standing behind a podium with a picture of Clinton, a heart and the word "Hillary."
The footage of Newberry at the podium was from last month's forum at the University of Kentucky, but the picture of Clinton was not on the podium, Rabold said.

"The Op-Ed page in some copies of Wednesday's newspaper carried an incorrect version of the below article about military recruitment. The article also briefly appeared on NYTimes.com before it was removed. The writer, an Army reserve officer, did not say, 'Imagine my surprise the other day when I received orders to report to Fort Campbell, Ky., next Sunday,' nor did he characterize his recent call-up to active duty as the precursor to a 'surprise tour of Iraq.' That language was added by an editor and was to have been removed before the article was published. Because of a production error, it was not. The Times regrets the error."Ailey Wrestles With Its Curse; Varone Bursts Out in Triumph
