From NBC's Mark Murray, Domenico Montanaro, and Chris DonovanMaybe it's the historic nature of the candidates running, but it seems that a month hasn't gone by without one of them -- or their supporters -- having to apologize. Or clarify something they said. Or distance themselves from a remark.
Off the top of our heads, we've seen this presidential cycle:
-- Biden's "clean" and "articulate" remark about Obama
-- Richardson clarifying an earlier comment that being gay was a choice
-- McCain apologizing for Bill Cunningham calling Obama "Barack Hussein Obama"
-- Bob Johnson's apology for referring to Obama's past drug use
-- Bill Shaheen's for the same thing
-- Bob Kerrey's apology for referring to Obama attending a secular madrassa
-- Samantha Power calling Hillary Clinton a "monster"
-- Obama criticizing his campaign for referring to Clinton as "D-Punjab"
-- Clinton, in Louisiana, regretting for how some were offended by her MLK/LBJ comments, as well as Bill Clinton's "fairytale" remark.
-- Romney apologizing for equating his sons serving on his campaign to military service
-- Huckabee's apology to Romney on Mormon/devil quote to the New York Times magazine
-- Michelle Obama clarifying her remark on being "proud" of her country for the first time
These are the people we are sending out to the world... proclaiming them as our leaders...
