Pretty much speaks for itself… Daily Presidential Tracking Poll Rasmussen Reports has been tracking the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination daily for nineteen months… since November 2006. For the last few months, the most remarkable feature of the race has been its consistency and stability. Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are both running historic campaigns and both have captured the votes and hearts of distinct and important constituencies within the Democratic Party. Obama has won Primaries in states where the demographics favor his campaign and Clinton has won in the states that favor her campaign. However, while Senator Clinton has ...

“For the first time this campaign season, Barack Obama has surpassed Hillary Clinton’s support among superdelegates, according to the ABC News delegate estimate. Sen. Obama, D-Ill., picked up two superdelegates this morning giving him a new metric to tout in addition to his current commanding leads in pledged delegates, popular votes, states won, and money raised.” [ABC News] ...

In the Democratic Party’s race for the presidential nominee the primaries don’t really matter anymore. More important are the 260-plus superdelegates who are yet undecided are not bound by the outcome of any state’s vote. It would seem that the rat-race was all for nil. In hindsight the headaches could have been avoided and just let the superdelegates decide the nominee at the Denver Convention this summer. That may be exactly what happens but Barack Obama doesn’t want it that way. He wants to know as soon as possible who the nominee would be, and for good reason. John McCain has ...

Let me see if I have this correctly: Limbaugh pushes his Dittoheads to cross lines and vote for Hillary to keep the Democratic primary going, and now, just when it is clear that Obama will be the Democratic Party nominee, he tries to get us to believe that it was Clinton that he thought was the stronger candidate all along? We are expected to believe that a right wing Republican pushes his lackeys to support the person he thought was the better candidate? Is there anyone stupid enough to fall for this line of crap from Rush? Will someone ...

So the Clinton camp is left claiming that the states they originally agreed to leave behind - Florida and Michigan - are theirs or else. This after they have played the everything-and-the-kitchen-sink gamebook on Obama.Tonight there was no doubt left that she is done, finished, kaput. I don't say that because I am a misogynist or a Hillary-hater or an elitist or whatever else others might say. I am just a realist.Superdelegates! History is calling! Do your thing! ...

Man, I have been beaten like a rented mule at work. Tons of patients. Tons of sick patients. I have a couple of items before I pour myself into bed.

• Vote. If you live in Indiana or North Carolina - Vote.
• Howard Kurtz has a very interesting article in the WaPo today. The title says it all - Why the Press Turned on Obama. I spoke with Eric Boehlert of Media Matters over a month ago on my radio show. We were talking about how McCain gets a free pass on tons of misstatements and false

...

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton continue their fight for the Democratic nomination to Indiana and North Carolina tomorrow. The latest polls have Obama up by an average of 6.5 points in North Carolina and Clinton up by an average of 4.6 points in Indiana.Over the weekend the big news was that Obama won the Guam caucuses by a mere 7 (count 'em, folks!) votes out of nearly 4500 cast, and will thus pick up 2 superdelegates (they split Guam's 4 eleected delegates evenly).Today, Obama picked up 3 more super-delegates. ...

“Citing some recent polls, the Clinton campaign is making this argument to Democratic superdelegates: that Clinton — not Obama — is the most electable Democrat in November.” [MSNBC] ...

Today on the Metro I saw a guy - young, maybe 21, white - wearing a shirt that said "OBAMA/WRIGHT FOR AMERIKKKA". Dude, seriously, what the fuck? That doesn't even make any sense. I hate people.Anyways, hey, have some links. ++ Obama catches up in support from Hill. ++ Clinton gas-tax proposal criticized. I think it's an awful idea myself, even though I love Hillary. I think I heard Sen Kerry say it would save individual drivers like $25 but cost the highway system billions of dollars in revenue. Bah. ++ ExxonMobil profits up 17%. Ugh. Everytime ...

The Truth About Gas PricesTaxes from gasoline go to maintaining infrastructure...Didn't someone from Michigan say we need to inspect a few bridges??? Washington was all "gung-ho" about that last year.
