Friday's Top Political Blogs

The political blogosphere discussed the ramifications of the assassination of Benazir Bhutto. The strangest thread results from comments made by David Axelrod, an adviser to Sen. Barack Obama (D., Ill.), who suggested Sen. Hillary Clinton's (D., N.Y.) votes on Afghanistan and Iraq partly make her responsible for Bhutto's death. This comment could sink Obama's campaign. It was amateur hour for Axelrod.
