With the coming season ahead of us, on this day in 1995 the longest strike in major league history ends. On to today's top stories:

"Clinton, Obama debate electoral-map strategy" (Christina Bellantoni, Washington Times) Clinton's argument is that she can take key battleground states like Ohio; Obama's argument is that he can put GOP strongholds like the South in play. One strategy is focused on the traditional way of winning the White House; the other on shaking up the old electoral map.

"McCain Faces Test in Wooing Elite Donors" (Michael Luo and Griff Palmer, New York Times) Part of John McCain's strategy for his bio tour this week is to introduce himself to voters before Democrats have a chance to define him. The other part is to get big-money donors excited for the coming battle.

"Driving Hard for Keystone Prize" (Kris Maher and Timothy Aeppel, Wall Street Journal) Pennsylvania is Clinton country to be sure, but there are sections where Obama should do well. Get to know the state's demographic breakdown.

"Obama, McCain Forged Fleeting Alliance" (Paul Kane, Washington Post) Wonderful anecdote on the first (and only) time Obama and McCain worked together in the Senate. Obama went to McCain to express his interest in forging an ethics bill and McCain accepted his support. Within a week, the collaboration was dead.

"To Working Class, Clinton Talks the Talk" (Jim Tankersley, Chicago Tribune) Apparently there are readability scales, which measure the education level needed to understand a piece of writing (or a speech), and Clinton scores on average two grades beneath Obama. Is that why she's winning the working class?

"McCain Polls Well Amid War, Economic Worries" (Associated Press) And it's driving the Democrats bananas. As always, it's too early to put much faith in these early polls, except to say that McCain's numbers show that he's probably doing the best a Republican candidate could do.

"Superdelegates: A Guide to the Undecided" (Avi Zenilman, The Politico) Of the 794 Democratic superdelegates, more than 460 are spoken for. That leaves about 250 or so to be fought over. Reporter Zenilman takes us through what might help that group decide.

"Gore Launches Ambitious Advocacy Campaign on Climate" (Juliet Eilperin, Washington Post) There's been a lot of talk of Al Gore riding to the rescue -- whether as a super-duper delegate who can moderate the endgame or as a candidate himself. So we might as well figure out what Gore is doing these days.
