Looks like all we'll be hearing about for the next few days is the cost of gas. Anyone remember when big engines were all the rage?

Little GTO, you're really lookin' fine
Three deuces and a four-speed and a 389
Listen to her tachin' up now, listen to her why-ee-eye-ine
C'mon and turn it on, wind it up, blow it out GTO

What was your first car? Mine was a 1957 Austin Healey 100-6 I bought in 1966 with $300.00 I saved from my after school job. After that it was Mustang convertibles for me.

This is an open thread, see you all tomorrow.

Hillary Clinton has released a new ad in Indiana criticizing Barack Obama for opposing the suspension of the gas tax.

Hillary's plan: Use the windfall profits of the oil companies to pay to suspend the gas tax this summer. Barack Obama says "No."

People are hurting, it's time for a President who's ready to take action now.

Your turn. This is an Open Thread. BTW, in an object lesson in "be careful who the Netroots backs . . ."

The New York Times reports on Reverand Jeremiah Wright's monomania.

Now it turns out that Mr. Wright doesn’t hate America, he loves the sound of his own voice. He is not out of touch with the American culture, he is the avatar of the American celebrity principle: he grabbed his 30-second spots of infamy and turned them into 15 minutes of fame.

.... Chuck Todd, the NBC political director... summed up Mr. Wright’s apologia by paraphrasing a Carly Simon song: “You’re so vain, I bet you think this campaign is about you.”

David Axelrod: "“He is doing his own thing,” Mr. Axelrod said wearily by telephone. “There’s not a thing we can do about it.”

Another blast from the past: This February, 2007 Rolling Stone article about Obama and Rev. Wright.

This is an open thread.

The last ten minutes of Rev. Wright's speech. The theme of the speech: "A change is going to come. We can do it if we try."

He is a powerful speaker, no doubt about it.

You can watch Parts One, Two and Three here.

Update: Comments now closed, new thread on Rev. Wright is here.

I'm at work today and our threads are filling up fast so here's an open thread for you to pick the topics.

Yesterday, Obama supporter and UCLA Prof. Mark Kleiman and I debated the PA primary results on Bloggingheads tv. We had tremendous technical difficulties, not only couldn't I hear Mark well through his headphone, but we had to do the hour debate three times -- my computer crashed at the end of the first one losing the video and then his did at the end of the second. By the third time, it felt like a cross between being a broken record and forgetting to repeat our best arguments. But, if you'd like to watch it, it's broken down into segments and here it is.

Next time Mark and I are going to debate crime issues.

Today is Earth Day and D-Day in Pennsylvania. Zogby makes a shrewd play to regain his reputation by predicting a double digit Clinton victory. If it happens, he nailed it. If it does not no one will remember. The other option he had was to predict an Obama win, but PPP already has that ground covered.

BTW, Suffolk says Clinton by 12 and ARG says Clinton by 16.

This is an Open Thread.

I got nuthin. Time to wait on the voters.

This is an Open Thread.

Update (TL): I'm adding the video of the Shirelles, "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" It's been running through my head all day, as I wondered how many Pennsylvanian's will turn out to make sure Hillary stays in the race.

For those of you offline during the weekend and now back at work and surfing around, here's some of what you missed on TalkLeft (we have more than 30 posts up for Saturday and Sunday -- these are a sampling of mine):

• Hillary Responds to Obama Saying McCain Would Be Better Than Bush
• Electability: Why Hillary is More Likely to Beat McCain
• Hillary Asserts She's More Electable Than McCain
• Bob Casey: Obama Would Probably Find DC Handgun Ban Constitutional
• Bill Clinton Explains Falsities in Obama's Latest Ad
• The Candidate for Change Goes AWOL in Message Today

And since I've got to get back to work in the real world, this is an Open Thread.

I erroneously cited a SurveyUSA PA poll as the most recent poll. It was NOT the SUSA final PA poll. It was an old poll. I regret the error.

This is an Open Thread.

Open Thread bonus - GOP pollster Strategic Vision has it 48-41 Clinton in PA.

Passover begins tonight. Here's the story in a nutshell:

The Children of Israel arrive in Egypt; Pharaoh fears their growth and enslaves them; a leader is born. As a young man, Moses leaves the palace and discovers the hardship of his brethren; thus begins his journey to become leader of the Israelites.

Pharaoh refuses to let the People of Israel go; G-d brings upon Egypt ten plagues; the people of Egypt beg Pharaoh to let the Jews go; Pharaoh's heart remains hardened.

Pharaoh's resistance is finally broken and he actually chases the Israelites from his land. Finally, the Jews are free...but the story's not over yet.

For Hillary: Livin' On a Prayer, my favorite version, which isn't available free anywhere but here since it's from my recording (it probably won't last long either so watch it while you can.) See if you can spot a very animated Charlotte from Sex and the City in the audience.
