While this won’t shut up critics who think Obama actually believes the nonsense that Wright said, it will stop stories like this latest Father Pfleger flap from happening during the general election. Here’s a reaction from The Corner: It’s been just over two months since Obama’s Philadelphia speech on race — the one that was [...]
The totals are obviously dependent on different counts, but Obama now has about 2,052 and Clinton has about 1,877. Here’s more… In a huge blow to Hillary’s hopes, such as they are, the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee has now voted in favor of a compromise measure for Michigan, giving 69 pledged delegates to Hillary [...]
That’s in favor of Hillary, so she could come out of today with a net of 29 delegates if Florida is seated according to the compromise offered by Jon Ausman. They determined this based on the actual vote, exit polls of who cast votes for “uncommitted” and voters who wrote in Obama’s name (those votes [...]
If you’re not watching it live, Robert Wexler just spoke on behalf of the Obama campaign and he said they’d accept the Ausman petition More from TPM: “Senator Obama should be commended for his willingness to offer this extraordinary concession,” Wexler said, adding that he’s offering this concession “in order to promote reconciliation with Florida [...]
That’s apparently what he said a couple days ago… I think this will be the likely outcome today. And frankly, I don’t see any other way it can happen without tearing the party apart. Tweet

As is the case with many pieces of legislation…it doesn’t seem to have enough institutional support. From Fortune: The U.S. Climate Action Partnership formed last year won’t take a position on the bill, although nine of its members – including General Electric, Alcoa and four utility companies – signed a letter to senators backing the [...]
Bravo to Governor Patterson for saying New York should recognize gay marriages from other states, but this has obviously made A LOT of social conservatives angry and they’re not going down without a fight. First, Patterson’s reasoning… Paterson issued a memo earlier this month saying that gay New Yorkers who marry where it is legal [...]
With this latest pastor flare-up, I stumbled across an old post from Dennis Sanders about Wright in March. He comes at this story from a very unique perspective, and as much as I’d like for the Wright story to just go away because I don’t think Obama should be held responsible for what somebody else [...]
Just today, Pew showed a 13% gap between the two…so the double digit lead seems to be consistent in a few different levels. Still, Saturday will be very important to Clinton’s future…and maybe voters are starting to realize how grim the picture is for her? Here’s Gallup’s take… In Gallup Poll Daily tracking from May [...]
