More Campaign Notes.

Obama paid a courtesy call to John Edwards today.

I doubt any endorsement is in the works, particularly given how close the race is between Obama and Clinton.

Obama's many colorful ties, and not the kind he wears, could present problems down the road.

For a man who hates the 1960s, Obama sure doesn't mind hanging out with a one-time member of the Weather Underground and husband of fellow Underground member Bernardine Dohrn, Bill Ayers.

He's an education professor in Illinois. Most of the surviving members of the homegrown terrorist group have led quiet lives since those heady days of 30-40 years ago.

I remember the group well. They were always in the news back then, and they didn't help the image of the left, either, with their antics.

However, the association of Ayers to Obama is grist for the Republican smear machine.
