Political bits
The Penn/Colombia trade thing continues into another day, now including Bill Clinton. I updated yesterday's post to include the newest "my husband supports it but I don't" Clinton line.
The Clinton camp is desperately trying to find something to blunt it. (CNN) Hillary Clinton tries to equate the thing to the muddied Goolsbee/Nafta/Canada flareup, and (WSJ) Clinton surrogate Lanny Davis tries to keep the Wright thing alive in a WSJ editorial (re-printing Wright quotes, like we don't know them by now.)
(Reuters) I'm not a big fan, but the online trading markets are closing on Obama winning (80+ to 12%.)
(Ambinder) The Michelle Obama advance team gets caught in the Carnegie-Mellon paper saying "Get me more white people, we need more white people." as they set up the backdrop for an appearance. (Every campaign does it, but you don't get caught!)
(NewsGazette) The DNC factsheet on McCain's Iraq statements.
(Politico) Vandehei tries to equate Clinton's campaign missteps with her credibility on running a White House. (FirstRead echoes)
(TimeBlog) Karen Tumulty flashes back to when Mark Penn was wrecking Al Gore's presidential campaign.
And, We're beginning to see the first stages of overt pressure from below on the superdelegates. (USAToday) In Virginia, local party leaders are going public to pressure Virginia superdelegates to endorse Obama.
Also, I'm seeing more and more sites like this (neutral) one, posting contact information for superdelegates. (I can't imagine the superdelegates will be happy about this. The ones who haven't committed, largely haven't committed because they don't want that spotlight.)
