According to politico undecided Ohio superdelegate Zack Space met with Barack Obama yesterday.
Obama also met with : Gabrielle Giffords (Ariz.), Dan Boren (Okla.), Mike McIntyre (N.C.), Melancon (La,), Tim Mahoney (Fla.) and Jim Costa (Calif.).
Afterward, Obama visited the House floor where he was mobbed by members from both sides of the aisle and even asked […]

Last month Rep. Tim Ryan threw his support behind Hillary Clinton.
But it looks like he might be changing his mind.
This morning, while discussing the results of yesterday’s primary elections, Ryan told CQ’s David Nather:
“I don’t know if the fat lady has sung yet, but she’s clearing her throat”

According to The Hill:
An environmental activist group on Saturday cited the “sham” of a national gas tax holiday proposal in its endorsement of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) for president.
Friends Of The Earth Action (FOEA) said the holiday idea proposed by fellow presidential contenders Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) was the […]

Until this morning, a seller on ebay was offering the half-eaten leftovers from Barack Obama’s breakfast at the Gilder Diner in Scranton, PA…
The item description:
THIS IS BARAK HUSSEIN OBAMA’S BREAKFAST FROM THIS MORNING, 4-21-08 AT THE GLIDER DINER IN SCRANTON, PA. WINNER GETS HIS USED DINER PLATE WITH HIS USED SILVERWARE AND […]

Except for the wonderful live discussion here at PB, I think we can all pretty much agree last night’s debate was pretty lame. From the bad questions to the bad commercials (do that many people really have problems pooping?) it was pretty much a waste.
Of course, the Clinton camp immediately announced that Hillary had […]

An interesting new Gallup Poll asked:
Who do you LEAST want to see elected president this year.
40% - John McCain
36% - Hillary Clinton
20% - Barack Obama
More good news for Obama!
A disturbing side note: 12% of the people who chose Obama did so because they believe (incorrectly) that he is a Muslim.
I’m pretty sure, however, that this […]

Barack takes off his tie (finally) in this new ad aimed at working-class Pennsylvanians…

The Obama campaign announced today the they raised over $40 million in March.
The money came from more than 442,000 contributors - 218,000 donating for the first time.
If you do the math, that’s about 90 bucks per contribution.

The latest survey from Public Policy Polling now has Barack Obama leading Hillary Clinton 45 to 43 in Pennsylvania.
The same survey showed Clinton up 26 points about two weeks ago.
With 13% of respondents still undecided, I’m hoping to see Obama with a 15 point lead two-and-a-half weeks from now!

WSJ:
Slowly but steadily, a string of Democratic Party figures is taking Barack Obama’s side in the presidential nominating race and raising the pressure on Hillary Clinton to give up.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota is expected to endorse Sen. Obama Monday, according to a Democrat familiar with her plans. Meanwhile, North Carolina’s seven Democratic House members […]

Warms me heart:
Pittsburgh Steelers legend Jerome “The Bus” Bettis joined Barack Obama for the first leg of a Pennsylvania bus tour this afternoon, riding from a campaign stop in Pittsburgh to a steel mill in Braddock and mingling with plant employees during a break. Ex-Steeler Franco Harris — who caught the “Immaculate Reception” in a […]

Vermont Public Radio
“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.”

Thanks again Senator. Very courageous thing to do in bucking the establishment and other key leaders in your state. It WAS the right thing to do.

If anyone is wondering why I’m posting on the Presidential so much and why I’m […]

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 […]
