Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) yesterday elaborated (AFP) on his remarks in a speech before AIPAC that Jerusalem must remain the “undivided” capital of Israel. In an interview with CNN, Obama said a divided Jerusalem would be “very difficult to execute.” Israel “has a legitimate claim on that city,” he said.

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) told the Florida Society of Newspaper Editors & Press Association that President Bush should keep the American public better informed about the Iraq war. He said as president he would hold a weekly briefing about Iraq, “even if it was only carried on C-SPAN.”

In a letter posted on the National Review’s website, top McCain adviser Douglas Holtz-Eakin says McCain supports warrantless wiretapping of Americans.
