Obama Racks Up More Super-Delegates In Home Stretch
Barack Obama's campaign has been racking up more super-delegate endorsements today, as the campaign counts down to clinching the nomination. The names so far:
• DNC member Joyce Lalonde of Michigan, who counts as half a vote.
• Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick of Michigan, who counts as half a vote.
• Rep. John Olver of Massachusetts.
• DNC member Maria Chappelle-Nadal of Missouri.
The score so far for today: Obama +3, Clinton +0. Obama now has 2,080.5 delegate votes to Clinton's 1,916.5, and the Obama camp's math says he is 36.5 delegates away from securing the nomination.
Also, the winner of the Montana primary tonight will be able to count on a five-vote bonus -- the governor, both Senators, and the state party chair and vice chair will reportedly pledge their votes to the winner of the state's primary at the moment the media calls the race. Obama is favored to win that one.
Clyburn brings 3 more:
On a conference call announcing his own endrosement, Rep. James Clyburn names three more undecided officials who, he says, will endorse Obama today:
They're Rep. John Spratt of South Carolina; New York superdelegate Ralph Dawson, and Tim Moore, a South Carolina Edwards delegate.

Limpwristed Oilbama limps to the finish line. He is a religious man now without a Church to pray in. At least he can go pray with his relative Dick Cheney, he will be welcome because of his vote for Cheney's Big Oil Energy Bill.
In a matter of weeks, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has thrown two of his spiritual advisers and his church under the bus: his former pastor and spiritual adviser, Rev. Jeremiah Wright; Father Michael Pfleger, pastor of Chicago's St. Sabina Roman Catholic Church; and his Chicago church, Trinity United Church of Christ, which includes between 8,000 and 10,000 fellow congregants, as well as his new pastor, Rev. Otis Moss III. They had become politically inconvenient. Possibly awaiting similar treatment is Sen. Obama's third spiritual adviser, Rev. James Meeks, pastor of Chicago's Salem Baptist Church.
During an April 5, 2004, interview about his faith with the Chicago Tribune's Cathleen Falsani, Sen. Obama described Rev. Wright as "a close confidant" and Father Pleger, "who has known Obama for the better part of 20 years", as someone who helps him keep his "compass set."
During the same interview, Sen. Obama said that Rev. Meeks was another person he sought out for spiritual counsel. In fact, Obama said that the day after he won the Illinois Democratic senatorial primary on March 16, 2004, he "stopped by Salem for Wednesday-night Bible study."
Rev. Meeks better watch his back, the bus may well be on its way. Why, you ask?
Well, Rev. Meeks, pastor of a 20,000-member church, has "called white American mayors 'slave masters,' and referred to black preachers and politicians who 'protect' the 'white man' as 'house n-ggers'," Aaron Klein, Jerusalem bureau chief at WorldNetDaily reported on March 24, 2008. The following day, on March 25, 2008, Klein reported that, in 2002, Rev. Meeks, who is also an Illinois State Senator, had received $9,000 in campaign funds from indicted political fixer Antoin "Tony" Rezko, an additional $5,000 from a Rezko employee, and $2,000 more from Ali Ata, a Rezko co-defendant.

Obama co-sponsored Immigration legislation with McCain and worked with him in the Senate, so is Obama guilty of the Keating 5 S&L Crisis too?

Honestly, I think the AP seriously jumped the gun with that concession piece - for those who wonder why Terry slammed down that piece, do you blame him? You all know I'm for Obama, but keep in mind that MT and ND are still voting and watching/reading the news.

They've already signaled that the nature of thier campaign is going to change after today numerous times. Bill Clinton did it yesterday, McAuliff did it today, etc.

Agreed. The sources came right from the Clinton campaign itself. All along, they've been their own worst enemy. You can't blame the AP for running with a story that is comes directly from the horse's mouth like that.
Clinton keeps claiming to be the better candidate against McCain, but poor message discipline is a campaign killer that Hillary has never even tried to address.
Anyone hear from Jesse Jackson Jr. lately? I didn't think so.

They'll keep it going until they get within 15 or so of the magic number, then stop to allow election results from MT & SD to put him over with elected delegates. After that I suspect they'll announce a large group of SDs tonight making a big, boffo finish.

I am sure the people in SD care (we don't want to start discounting states like some people) but given that the winner is only likely to get one more delegate than the loser - at most..no it doesn't matter to the end results.

Obviously it matters but look at how little actual coverage those primaries are getting compared to the superdelegate movement and such. Maybe it's just that everything's been eclipsed by this "is she staying or going?" thing this morning.

It may be close - may come out 60/40. With 15 delegates, doesn't much matter - the outcome will be the same and we are on to the General.

Even if it happened, it wouldn't matter. The winner will get 8 delegates and the loser 7. It wouldn't be a game changer.

An ARG poll came out yesterday showing Clinton ahead in SD, but ARG has been crap all year. Every other poll shows Obama ahead. He won every state bordering SD. Why in the world would SD be different?
June 3, 2008 1:12 PM | Reply | Permalink
I'm glad this is going to be settled quickly. It is very important that Obama reach the "magic number" of total delegates so that Hillary can end her campaign. She will do so on her terms, and if that means ending her campaign while not conceding defeat until later as a means of leverage, good for her. It is vital that she be on the ticket. Reading posts in the Cafe section it is clear how much continued bitterness there is toward her coming from the victorious Obama supporters. If they can manage to continue to spew venom, then they should be able to imagine how difficult it will be for many the vanquished Hillary supporters to get behind Obama. They will need to see Hillary on the ticket.

Why does it have to be Hillary?
If it's about experience, then Nunn, Biden, Dodd or Daschel all have VASTLY more experience.
If it's the need to have a woman on the ticket, Sebelius, Napalitano or McCaskill ALL fit Obama's message far better.
If it's a connection to the 'old' party power-elite, then wouldn't Clarke, Rendell or Strickland fit the bill?
Hillary has said some damaging things that will be recycled in this upcoming general election that unless she's willing to retract them, are only going to make things more difficult.
I'm not against an Obama/Clinton ticket, but SHE needs to reel in some of her past rhetoric and admit she was wrong first.
We can't have a VP candidate that doesn't think the VP is ready on day one, can't handle the 3am phone call and hasn't passed the Commander in Chief test.

The problem with Hillary Clinton as the Veep is that the Republicans will then be free to run with ads and statements that say "Even his running mate thinks McCain is more qualified than Obama".

This ignores one simple and very important fact: The votes of these superdelegates do not count. Why? Because they voted for Senator Obama. That is the Democratic Party's rules, and all of us have already agreed to it, myself and Senator Obama included.
Does this fact make it extremely difficult for Senator Obama to win the nomination? Yes. In fact, it makes it impossible for Senator Obama to win the nomination.
I agree with that, and it is a shame, given what a cute little campaign Senator Obama has run. But frankly, he should have thought of that before he agreed to this rule.
June 3, 2008 12:40 PM | Reply | Permalink
I would like to expound upon this point a little further:
It really is a shame that the rule is that votes for Senator Obama do not count, and it's a shame that Senator Obama himself agreed to this rule. And, believe me, if it were up to me, I would get rid of this rule in a heartbeat.
But we are a party, and a nation, of laws, not of men. Rules are rules. And as my mama told me, when you try to change the rules in the middle of the game, that is called cheating.

Wes Clark floats Obama-Sebelius
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0608/Wes_Clark_floats_ObamaSebelius.html
Wes Clark stopped out in Texas yesterday to drop by a fundraiser Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius headlined for Michael Skelly, a Democrat running for congress in Texas.
Clark introduced Sebelius and, according to a regular correspondent and reliable source who was there, said:
"The London odds-makers say that Kathleen Sebelius is the odds-on favorite to be the next vice
president. I can tell you, she'd make a great vice presidential choice."
He then introduced her as "The next vice president of the United States...."
Sebelius is typically considered for the slot only if Obama is the nominee.
A sign of the times from a Clinton loyalist.
