Monday quickie political briefing

Good morning. I'm stepping in for Jim one last morning. Let's start off, per custom, with...

Today's videos:

Barack Obama was in Indiana over the weekend in preparation for that state's primary. In this video from Saturday, a resident of Marion introduces the candidate.

Hillary Clinton visited the Hoosier state too, saying she's the best candidate to take on special interests.

Now today's headlines:

  • Clinton: Attempt to assassinate Karzai shows Afghanistan needs more US attention

  • McCain raps Obama as insensitive to the poor, criticizes his policies on taxes and Iran

  • Former pastor of Barack Obama tells Detroit NAACP he’s descriptive, not divisive
