Good morning Geeks, incase you missed it the two main Democratic candidate spent most of the weekend proving to the American people they were the best candidate to protect the nation, by continuing to attack each other like children. Democracy rules!

Meanwhile the site was down most of saturday because of a server transfer glitch, sorry. But the Election Geek did spend Sunday buying a house! WOO HOO. Well we made an offer, it was accepted and now I have to figure out just what in the world made the wife and I go crazy yesterday. Fun. Here is your morning brew.

- If you haven’t been following, Hillary Clinton launched an ad this weekend questioning Obama’s foreign policy experience by saying she is the candidate you would want working in the White House at 3 AM when a crisis strikes. Obama countered with an ad saying he would be better at 3 AM because he would have made the right call, like he did on Iraq.

Personally? If you want a candidate who is up at 3 AM I suggest you vote for a twenty-one year old.

- The Washington Post has an article under the headline “Clinton, Obama Recast Their Message on Iraq”, that is funny because to me their messages sound EXACTLY like the ones they started with over a year ago.

- Speaking of the ads, this morning Senator Obama said Clinton was getting “a little desperate” during a taped appearance on ABC’s Good Morning America. Also said no one knows for sure who will be ready in a time of crisis until it happens.

Obama also said “I don’t know where all that experience got her”. I will take a bunch of lost primaries for a $1000! Oh, he was talking about Iraq again, still a good zinger.

- The LA Times looks at the Clinton breakdown, before we know it completely broke down. Clinton’s strategist Mark Penn continued his “don’t blame me, I didn’t do it” routine.

- Media continues its commitment to parse everything Bill Richardson says and see if it is a sign he is going to support Obama.

- ABC looks “behind the scenes” of Hillary Clinton’s appearance on SNL this weekend.

- Politico looks at the mountain of missteps the McCain camp has already taken in the general election.

- Politico also has an interesting look inside of Election 2008 reporting and how a simple story can be a big headache for editors when a campaign challenges what has been written.

- All eyes are on tomorrows primaries! If you watch MSNBC then you know Hillary Clinton is a fool for not dropping out already, will be a fool for not dropping out tomorrow and will be even more of a fool because she will cling to the possibility of the nomination with claws like a monster and demand they follow the nuance of party rules!

Meanwhile, everyone has forgotten Mike Huckabee is still running. I take that back the Washington Times says he is ready to lead a revival, who knew?

Also of Note

- Clinton announced a surprise Press Conference for this morning in Toledo
