Barr to Run as Independent more similar news »
Though he recently said he was considering a Libertarian bid for president, former Rep. Bob Barr (R-GA) will run as an independent, according to a New Republic report.
"Barr has been extremely critical of the Bush
administration from a libertarian perspective, however, stressing
issues like coercive interrogation practices, warrantless wiretapping
and the Iraq War (he doesn't differ much from Ralph Nader much on this

Sen. Hillary Clinton is expected to finally release her tax returns from the last six years in the next day or so, according to Ben Smith.

However, ABC News notes their own independent review of disclosure filings "has found that since leaving the
White House seven years ago, the senator and her former president
husband have made well over $50 million, much of it from paid speeches
made by Bill Clinton."

Obama Raises More Than $40 Million in March more similar news »
Sen. Barack Obama announced that he raised more than $40 million in March from more than 442,000
contributors across the country. More than 218,000 donors contributed to the campaign for the first
time, and the average contribution level was $96.
Since the Clinton campaign isn't expected to come close to that figure, it's unlikely the campaign will announce anything until the mid-month filing deadline.
Update: Well, I was wrong. The Clinton campaign announced they raised approximately $20 million.
