Stuff I should have blogged - Noonish edition

I'm just catching up on goings on (I wrote the two earlier posts last night).

"President" Bush sinks to a new low -- attacking Barack Obama while on foreign soil.
- McCain supports Bush's attack.
Obama has picked up 4 superdelegates so far today and 6 more of the Edwards delegates.
John McCain is running an ad called 2013 and suggesting he wants to be mostly out of Iraq by then. Three thoughts:
- Politically, McCain is once again struggling with his one-hundred years gaffe -- hoping to use the 2013 date as a way of blunting the use of that gaffe.
- McCain is also subtly suggesting he'd just be a one-term president if elected. (If that's true, the question is why doesn't he think he'd be able to run for re-election in four years?)
- Does this suggest McCain is about to flip-flop on the Iraq war? Straight-talk much?
McCain's wife sells $2 million of her investments in Sudan.
Obama wearing the flag pin more often. (Good idea -- symbols matter.)
California court ruling sets stage for gay marriage. (Another example of why so many good things can happen in 2008.)
Andrew Sullivan isn't excited by an Obama-Edwards ticket (which if you think in Yglesias Award terms, might actually be an argument for it)

Finally, a commenter (Praxxus) comes up with a name for that new GOP attack ad: "Applause-Gate"
