- Gloria Steinem, one of Hillary Clinton's biggest supporters gets on record supporting the Democratic candidate:

Steinem is supporting Obama in the general race. “Women are more than smart enough to see that McCain’s policies are a disaster ... He is anti every reproductive issue we’ve ever fought for.”

She believes women will vote for Obama even if Clinton doesn’t get the much-mooted consolation prize of the vice-president’s spot on the Democratic ticket – a job Steinem doesn’t think is good enough for her anyway. Why? “It’s not an independent position, to put it mildly. I would rather see her as the president of the Senate.”

- John McCain is vetting Virginia Congressman Eric Cantor as a possible V-P.
