DAY’S END ROUNDUP

Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) looked unified in Unity, N.H., bloggers say Friday. Liberal bloggers are being forced to pick sides between two of their favorites and some are wondering how wise it was for Sens. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) and David Vitter (R-La.) to sign on as sponsors of a bill re-introducing that Federal Marriage Amendment.

Obama and Clinton played nice in New Hampshire, showing lots of smiles and singing each other’s praises, Top of the Ticket writes. On Call points out that the two were so focused on unity they even wore matching outfits.

MSNBC host Keith Olbermann and Salon blogger Glen Greenwald are dividing the liberal blogosphere by feuding over Obama’s support for the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) rewrite, The Huffington Post writes. Firedoglake’s Jane Hamsher points out the whole fight erupted because Greenwald wrote that Olbermann is excusing Obama’s stance on the bill because of “blind devotion to Barack Obama.”

And having Craig and Vitter attached to a marriage protection amendment may not lend the bill a whole lot of credibility, writes the Carpetbagger Report. The blog points put the two senators are not ideal poster boys for the sanctity of marriage.
