Political bits

It looks like Obama will come out of the Texas primary/caucus system +5 pledged delegates from the state.

(MSNBC/WSJ) HUD Secretary Alphonso Jackson is expected to resign today. Criminal investigation.

(NYTimes) Thus far, "Mr. McCain has so far managed to enlist only a fraction of the heavyweight bundlers of campaign contributions who helped drive President Bush’s two runs for the White House......" (Maybe just not yet?)

(FirstRead) Chuck Todd asks all kinds of questions about the pressure on Clinton to quit.

(McClatchy) Obama's PAC has given almost three times as much money as Clinton's PAC to superdelegates.

(YouTube) Bush threw out the first pitch at the Nationals game last night and got booed, and I mean booed. (From the AP)
Over in the Nationals' swank clubhouse, general manager Jim Bowden told the president he expected him to throw a strike. More pressure.

"Shhh," Bush responded. "Keep expectations low."


(PS. Of course Obama is not going to personally try to chase Clinton from the race, ("My attitude is that Senator Clinton can run as long as she wants.") He has to try and win her backers soon.)
