Political bits
(FirstRead) Obama was waffling on whether or not to participate in the NC debate. Last night may have sealed it.
(CNN) A big sample Gallup poll through Apr 15 shows both Dems generally win the "swing states" against McCain. (Overall Clinton does a little worse in the true red and blue states.)
(Politico) McCain readies unorthodox campaign. GOP grumbles. (Has a candidate ever won a major office by relying on "free media"?)
(FirstRead) "Obama picked up an Oklahoma superdelegate, add-on Reggie Whitten. Clinton now leads in superdelegates 257-235. Since Sunday, Obama has picked up five supers to Clinton’s zero. With his three elected superdelegate pick-ups yesterday, Obama has moved past Clinton among the group (U.S. Senators, Reps and governors): 96-94. In the overall count now, Obama leads by 142 (1,651-1,509).
(WaPo) One more superdelegate to Obama. (Switches from Clinton.)
(CNN) Obama gets a GOP endorsement from William D. Ruckelshaus, fired in the Saturday Night Massacre because he wouldn't carry out Nixon's orders.
(ThePage) Obama feels comfortable enough to set this goalpost: "If we can win in North Carolina, I bet we can wrap up this nomination.”
(WSJBlog) Regarding both Clinton and Obama and the Weather Underground. "That’s where Democrats — both party officials and voters — should probably be concerned, when their two presidential candidates are now fighting over which one’s ties, however tenuous, to domestic terrorist groups is more damaging."
And, Obama line of the day: After complaining about the "gotcha" nature of the debate last night, "And I’ve got to say Sen. Clinton looked in her element...."
