... and the News

Happy Wednesday. Here are a few things I thought you'd be interested in, today.

... Larry Sabato looks at "classic errors" and "gaffes" being made by political candidates, this cycle.

... LA TIMES: "Democrat Francine Busby placed first in the race to fill the seat left by disgraced former U.S. Rep. Randy 'Duke' Cunningham, but will face former Republican Congressman Brian Bilbray in a June runoff."

... The Hill: "Democrats brought in bloggers ... to advise press secretaries on how to court blogs. The Democratic caucus devoted its entire March 29 meeting to technology issues."

... At National Journal, Chuck Todd says there is "one big disadvantage Democrats are facing this cycle that Republicans didn't have in 1994 -- an opponent aware that they have a problem." (In other words, the first step toward recovery is acceptance.)

... Daily Kos offers liberals advice on how to divide and conquer conservatives.

... The Hill: "A group of former Clinton administration officials not fully satisfied with the Democratic National Committee's outreach to the Hispanic community are participating in a soon-to-be launched multimillion-dollar effort to brand the Democratic Party among Hispanic residents."
