NewMexiKen: "Best line of the day, so far [from the AP], 'The Supreme Court ordered the federal government on Monday to take a fresh look at regulating carbon dioxide emissions from cars, a rebuke to Bush administration policy on global warming.'"

Political Wire: "'Two Democratic presidential candidates broke previous fundraising records during the first three months of the year, with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton setting a high bar of $26 million in new contributions for the quarter,' the AP reports Meanwhile, John Edwards "raised more than $14 million since the beginning of the year.'
"Key caveat: 'Clinton aides would not reveal how much of her total was available only for the primary election and how much could be used just in the general election, if she were the party's nominee. By not breaking down the amount available for the primaries, the Clinton camp made it impossible to assess how much of an edge she actually has over Edwards. Edwards' aides said about $1 million of his $14 million in contributions could only be used in the general election, should he win the nomination.' The Hotline suggests Sen. Barack Obama may have raised $21 million for the first quarter. By not announcing immediately, his campaign may be trying to achieve maximum publicity by letting everyone else go first. The New York Times reports Gov. Bill Richardson raised $6 million. Sen. Christopher Dodd raised $4 million. Sen. Joe Biden raised $3 million. The bottom line comes from The Politico, noting Clinton 'did not appear to open the sort of gap between herself and leading rivals that would presage the lopsided primary contest some expected as recently as late last year. And it seemed unlikely that her first-quarter numbers would knock out any of her main competitors.'"

From yesterday's Denver Post, "U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo plans to announce today on an Iowa radio program that he is running for president, two sources close to the congressman said. The Republican, from Littleton, plans to formally announce on the morning radio show of Jan Mickelson on WHO in Des Moines. 'We're looking at a day of announcements on talk radio,' a source close to the campaign said. 'That's where the conservative movement has made its mark. That's where our people get their news.' Tancredo's goal is to force top-tier Republican candidates Sen. John McCain of Arizona, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani to talk about immigration. In particular, Tancredo will target McCain, co-sponsor of immigration legislation last year with a guest-worker program and path to legal status for illegal immigrants."
