“There is no way that Senator Clinton is going to win enough delegates to get the nomination. She ought to withdraw and she ought to be backing Senator Obama. Now, obviously that’s a decision that only she can make. Frankly I feel that she would have a tremendous career in the Senate.”

This morning Howard Dean announced that he wants all of the super delegates to endorse by July 1st.
July 1st!? That’s over three months from now! I’m not sure I can take three more months of Hillary and Barack beating each other up over tiny, meaningless things that may or may not have been said […]

In a 3/25 PR, Team Billary says:
Sen. Obama consistently and falsely claims that he was a law professor. The Sun-Times reported that, “Several direct-mail pieces issued for Obama’s primary [Senate] campaign said he was a law professor at the University of Chicago. He is not. He is a senior lecturer (now on leave) at the […]

We need more Bob Casey’s:

Team Clinton must be in a tizzy. They threw the most disgusting attacks at Obama culminating in the Pastor Wright stuff, but they just can’t seem to drag him far enough down to matter:

WASHINGTON - Rep. Dan Lipinski, one of the latest Democratic superdelegates to endorse Sen. Barack Obama for president, said Wednesday that statements made by the senator’s former pastor “were not helpful for our country” but Obama is what the nation needs.
Make that 1,621 to 1,499. Hillz super-delegate lead is down to 35. Trending […]

NBC’s Matthew Berger:
At a time when Sen. Hillary Clinton is increasingly relying on superdelegates to vault her to the Democratic Party’s nomination, a handful of undecided and pledged superdelegates are coming forward to say her campaign’s tactics in recent weeks are doing more harm than good.
Doesn’t sound like supers are buying the continually refined rationales […]

Tim was hopping all over this earlier today, and rightly so. Hillary bringing up Pastor Wright conveniently in an editorial meeting with the architect of the “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy”.
It’s so inexplicable that Hillary apologists over at BSB were making shit up to try to deflect. It was pretty hilarious. […]
