1. Clinton to Attend New Mexico Fundraiser By Heather Clark, Seattle Times
Hillary Clinton will go to New Mexico for a few hours Sunday to attend a high-dollar fundraiser at the home of former Ambassador to Spain Ed Romero.

2.Obama Trims Clinton's Lead in Pa. By Devlin Barrett and Beth Fouhy, Seattle Times

6. Obama Leads in Texas Caucus Tally By Kelly Shannon, Seattle Times
The contest between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for Texas delegates appeared to be tightening, as counting from Saturday's caucuses dragged on into Sunday. Obama led Clinton 58%-42% in results that had been reported through Sunday night, but nearly half of the delegates had yet to be counted.Despite the Clinton campaign's widespread attempts to prevent many Texans from participating in their district convention, the voters of Texas confirmed Senator Obama's important delegate win in the Lone Star State.

7. Presidential hopefuls tried brief alliance By Paul Kane, The Washington Post
Barack Obama approached John McCain to propose that the two work together on a lobbying and ethics-reform bill. The four-term Arizona Republican, 25 years Obama's senior, saw a willing apprentice to help shake up the way business was done in Washington. Instead, what began as a promising collaboration collapsed after barely a week amid charges and countercharges, all aired publicly two years ago in an exchange of stark and angry letters. Obama questioned whether McCain sided with GOP leaders rather than searching for a bipartisan solution; McCain accused Obama of "typical rhetorical gloss" and "self interested partisan posturing" by a newcomer

8.Clinton’s Persistence Could Help Obama By Katharine Q. Seeyle
For someone supposedly in a heap o’ trouble, Senator Hiliary Clinton is looking pretty relaxed these days. Her rival, Senator Barak Obama, has more delegates and more total popular votes. The longer Mrs. Clinton persists, her critics say, the more damage to the Democrats in the fall.

10. Clinton and Health Care by Kevin Sack, The New York Times
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton sat down with The Times’s Kevin Sack to discuss what her approach to health insurance would be if elected president. Senator Hillary Clinton said in an interview on Wednesday that if elected president she would push for a universal health care plan that would limit what Americans pay for health insurance to no more than 10 percent of their income, a significant reduction for some families.

Hi, Ashley! I think your story for #7 is interesting because we don't often see two people across party lines collaborating (even if it did fall apart in the end.)
