No way to tell what the problem was. MSNBC was lost to me for more than 20 minutes--never happened before--still had NBC and CNBC. Anyway, as of

3:34 p.m. Everything up and running, at least the commentators are. Norah O'Donnell briefly interviews former Bush White House chief of staff Andy Card--who also, like every other Repub, is obv rooting for Hillary Clinton to win the Dem nomination. O'Donnell shows him a cover article attacking Obama on the newest Weekly Standard, the right-neocon periodical that did so much to bring about the Iraq war, and asks him, Did the Clinton campaign give McCain and the Republicans a good attack against Obama? Card answers of course that it was Obama himself yadayada, and calls him "very very left."

Card also says, interestingly, that this election will be "really about the needs of America." I hope so--

Card also says that the "Clinton crowd seems to be very buoyed up" and adds that the primary election is not over yet--strongly suggesting that Clinton cd win. He mentions the big turnout in OH, TX in the same breath--Card must feel that big turnout is in Clinton's favor. I did not know that any Republicans thought that.
