Obama's Super-Delegates Keep On Coming
Barack Obama is piling up more super-delegates this afternoon, putting him on pace to overtake Hillary Clinton very soon in all counts:
• The campaign has announced via press release the endorsement of Congresswoman Mazie Hirono of Hawaii.
• New Mexico add-on super-del Laurie Weahkee, who was selected as an uncommitted super, has announced for Obama.
• The Obama campaign has announced the support of South Carolina state party vice chair Wilber Lee Jeffcoat.
• California DNC member Vernon Watkins has endorsed Obama, saying simply: "The election is over, everybody knows that. Obama has won."
The score so far today: Obama +8, Clinton net +0. Obama is roughly 160 delegates overall from securing the nomination.

Hillary Billary is accelerating her demise with her nuke Iran statements and veiled racial utterances about white voter electabilities.

Everything is turning towards Obama's favor.

I guess this might silence the "Where's the deluge" chatter starting to permeate MSNBC.
And for those of you, who, like me, dislike Lanny Davis and his comments on CNN, he was apparently fed up with CNN's coverage Tuesday, and told the political director that he will no longer appear on the network during political coverage (Larry King is still A-OK in Lanny's book, apparently).

I take it from your "Looks like their checks arrived" allegation above that you do not condone *bribing* of supers. What about *blackmail* as described in my anecdote?

I think GL would agree with me - If I can't have an HRC (Hilary Clinton) nominate - I won't have any at all.
Seriously - the idea of a presidential nominee who's won more states, more elected delegates, more popular votes is EXACTLY the kind of thing we don't want in America - which is why HRC should get the nod (nomination).

Well I appreciate that Obama waited until today to see how Hillary would respond to her obvious defeat on Tuesday. She decided to attaack the presumptive nominee for President... and it is time for Obama to push her out and shut the door.
He tried to let her exit in a noble and classy way. But that would be SO un-Clinton.

The last thing a Progressive President needs is someone as tied to special interests as Sen. Clinton deciding what the Senate votes on.
I can vote for her for VP, she'd be a great Gov. of NY. She might make a good SCOTUS Justice.

We have all become familiar with Senator Obama’s new brand of politics. First, you demand civility from your opponent, then you attack her, distort her record and send out surrogates to question her integrity. It is called hypocrisy, and it is the oldest kind of politics there is. Obama and his supporters have made clear that ANY criticism on ANY issue — from his voting for Dick Cheney's Energy Bill, to his radical plans to sit down face-to-face with Iranian President Ahmadinejad – constitute negative, personal attacks.
Disagree with Obama or his supporters on any issue and you are deemed a racist if you are white, or an Uncle Tom if you are Black.
Obama has his surrogates call his opponent a F*cking Wh*re and suggest she taken in a back room and killed. Obama supporters have won the nastiest people in the history of the blogosphere award. The campaign slogans talk about "Hope" and "Change" well I hope Obama crashes and burns and his campaign has changed me from a Democrat to an Independent.

He might not sufficiently politicize the intelligence-gathering process...
