CLINTON CAMP'S MANHATTAN CRASH PAD - "Hillary Clinton: Too cool for Brooklyn?" by POLITICO's Annie Karni: "Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign gained some gritty outer borough cred when it signed a lease last April on its headquarters at 1 Pierrepont Plaza in Brooklyn. And the campaign embraced it. ...But Clinton didn't forsake the glitzier island of Manhattan - she herself still works exclusively in Midtown when she is in town, and holds senior staff meetings there, sources told POLITICO. Clinton signed a two-year lease on the Manhattan suite of about seven offices on the 27th floor of Tower 45, a recently renovated office building on W. 45th Street near Times Square, last August. ...
 That space is now being occupied by Clinton's campaign, and a group of between ten and 15 campaign staffers and interns work there regularly, and meetings often take place there. ... With rents in the area running about $70 per square foot, the 4,000-square-feet office costs in the ballpark of $25,000 a month in rent."

OPPO RESEARCH - Bridge Project, the policy arm of the liberal super PAC, American Bridge, released a report about the Concerned Women for America conservative advocacy group and its connection to the Koch Brothers. "While the Kochs try to promote an image of themselves as libertarians who stay out of controversial social issues, more than $11.5 million of Koch-connected money has gone to the extremist group Concerned Women for America," the report said. Bridge Project continues a breakdown of the CWA leadership, social issue positions and connection with the Koch Brothers. Find the rest of the report here:

PRESIDENTIAL SPEED READ - WHO'S UP, WHO'S DOWN - "Faith and Freedom Coalition: Winners and losers," by POLITICO's Katie Glueck and Kyle Cheney: "Here is POLITICO's look at the winners and losers from the Faith and Freedom Coalition conference, based on speech content, audience reception and attendee buzz." WINNERS: Ted Cruz, "flat-out owned" the event; Bobby Jindal, "trailing badly in the polls," but he "came out swinging"; Scott Walker, got a standing ovation; Carly Fiorina, "who has shined at other GOP cattle calls," did it again. LOSERS: Rick Santorum, "fell flat"; Marco Rubio, talked over clattering dishes, and his remarks were "off-key," too.

FLORIDA'S DIVIDED SOUL - "Jeb and Marco's backyard battle royale," by POLITICO's Marc Caputo in Miami: "Jeb Bush built the Miami-Dade Republican Party. And now Marco Rubio wants to take possession. Just five days after Bush made his campaign for president official, Rubio will be the headliner Saturday at the local GOP's Lincoln Day Dinner fundraiser. It's indicative of the awkward predicament South Florida's two White House hopefuls find themselves in, and one of the complications of having two Miami Republicans running simultaneously for the nation's highest office.

- "Bernie's battle to get on the New Hampshire ballot," POLITICO's Jonathan Topaz details what Bernie Sanders has to do to get on the New Hampshire Democratic primary ballot, but as of now "the Vermont independent isn't entirely assured that he'll qualify for the ballot. Unlike early nominating states such as Iowa and South Carolina - where the process for getting on the ballot will be very simple for the Vermont independent - it has the potential to get a bit dicey in the Granite State. At a town hall Friday in Nevada, a supporter said some of her friends were still concerned Sanders would be running as a third-party candidate in the mold of Ralph Nader - whom his campaign has explicitly
 cited as a model they wanted to avoid. "I am running for the Democratic nomination!" Sanders said loudly into the mic, drawing raucous cheers from the crowd."

CLINTON CALLS FOR REFORM - "Clinton calls for 'common-sense' gun reforms in wake of Charleston shooting," by POLITICO's Annie Karni: "With tears welling in her eyes, Hillary Clinton on Saturday delivered an emotional call to action after the Charleston church shooting, first vowing to fight for "common-sense" gun reforms, then shifting to an assessment of racism in America. "Race remains a deep fault line in America," Clinton said ... The massacre in Charleston, S.C., forced Clinton off of her stump speech as she sought to confront some of the country's most intractable problems a week after her first big campaign speech on Roosevelt Island."
