Power Outage? (Updated)

Fox News radio just reported that Samanta Power has resigned from the Obama campaign after fallout from her comments about Sen. Clinton being a "monster."

The good folks at Power Line blog will no doubt welcome the news, though it isn't likely to draw them onto the Obama bandwagon.

Update:
Rush Limbaugh's guest host was talking about an apology for Samantha Powers' remarks without mentioning the resignation, so I thought I might have suffered an auditory malfunction while listening to the news.
