In the Headlines:

"Mapping a long road to the White House" (Dave Helling, Kansas City Star) - It will be close. Isn't it always? A nationwide Newsweek poll in late May: Sen. John McCain and Sen. Barack Obama, tied at 46 percent each. Last week's Gallup poll -- McCain up by 1. Rasmussen? Obama at plus 2.

"Will Clinton take the blame if Obama falls?" (Ben Adler, The Politico) - In classic Washington finger-pointing style, the Democratic primary is only barely over but the recriminations are already being teed up. The main thrust of them is this: Will supporters of Sen. Barack Obama blame Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton if Obama loses in November?

"Evangelicals Are Still Wary Despite McCain's Outreach" (Michael Luo, New York Times) - [John] McCain's outreach to Christian conservatives has been a quiet courting, reflecting a balancing act: his election hopes rely on drawing in the political middle and Democrats who might be turned off should he woo the religious right too heavily by, for instance, highlighting his anti-abortion position more on the campaign trail.

"Debate Still Rages on Impact of Tax Cuts" (David Dickson, Washington Times) - At a White House event last week commemorating the fifth anniversary of the 2003 tax cuts and the seventh anniversary of the 2001 tax cuts, President Bush hailed the "52 months of uninterrupted job growth" that commenced shortly after the 2003 tax cuts were passed.

On the Morning Shows:

Fox and Friends - Obama spokesman Linda Douglass on Hillary supporters voting for McCain: "It is very hard to imagine that anybody who cares about health care, economic fairness, about job opportunities for our kids in the future and education as well is going for vote for John McCain."

McCain adviser Carly Fiorina on the campaign reaching out to women voters: "Now we want to talk to all women, including [Hillary's] supporters and say, 'Take a look at John McCain.'"

Good Morning America - Laura Bush on whether she was sad Hillary didn't win the nomination as the first woman to do so: "I want the first woman president to be a Republican president, but I admire Hillary's grit and strength and I have a lot of admiration for her endurance."
