Lanny Davis, whining about CNN’s heat, gets out of the kitchen.
Obama takes lead in superdelegates (ABC News). Rep. Don Payne (D-NJ) switches support from Hillary to Obama. Rep. Fazio (D-OR) endorses Obama. Government employees union, the AFGE, endorses Obama and its head, a super delegate, personally endorses Obama. Rep. Carney of PA endorses Hillary. Today’s tally so far: Obama 3, Hillary 0*. (Hillary is zero because the loss of Payne offsets the gain of Carney). UPDATE: He’s now +9 for the day.
Daily Tracking Polls. Rasmussen Shocker: Pollster announces that Democratic contest is over - Obama won. It will stop tracking the Democratic nomination contest. Today’s poll shows steady lead by Obama over McCain and Obama’s lead over Hillary spiking up to 50-42%. Interesting move by Rasmussen - I may do the same. Looks like Obama’s victory and victory speech is showing up in the polls now and is resulting in a healthy bounce. Gallup has a more modest uptick for Obama, 48-46%.
Final Indiana primary election victory margin by Hillary: 14,487 votes - 1%. A margin so small it’s pretty likely Limbaugh’s Operation Chaos made the difference.
Eugene Robinson of WaPo/MSNBC says Hillary played ugly racial politics yesterday and needs to drop out sooner rather than later.
NY Times Editorial sharply criticizes Hillary for racial politics, and all but “unendorses” her.
EJ Dionne: Last weeks Democratic victory in the Louisiana House race was in a district that had been held by GOP since 1974, and which Bush won overwhelmingly, and where GOP tried to “nationalize” the race as a referendum on Obama and Pelosi. Dionne sees it as a sign of doom for old GOP campaign tactics and momentum for the Democrats on the issues.
WaPo’s Balz: Don’t expect Hillary to drop out before superdelegates decide.
