Political bits

(LATimes) "Obama strategists said Monday that they expected to announce a series of additional endorsements by uncommitted superdelegates shortly after Pennsylvania votes. A strong showing by Obama in Pennsylvania would give superdelegates more comfort in coming forward, but a bad loss might send them back to the assessment stage."

Later: (WSJ) Donna Brazile: "There's a group around [Sen. Clinton] that really wants to take the fight to the convention. They don't care about the party. It scares me, and that's what scares a lot of superdelegates."

(USAToday) Meanwhile, President Bush set an unwelcome record, scoring the highest disapproval rating — 69% — in the history of the Gallup Poll, which dates to Franklin Roosevelt's tenure. Bush's approval rating is 28%, matching the low point of his presidency.

(WaPo) 8 Questions about the Pa. primary.

(ThePage) Halperin recaps the candidates on the morning shows. (The Clinton camp is pushing "a win is a win," trying to lower expectations, and the Obama camp sounds like it's on the defensive.)

And, From the last set of financial reports, (NYTimes)"Mr. Obama is spending 75 cents for every dollar he is taking in; Mrs. Clinton is spending $1.10."

(Early reports are that Pa turnout is high.)
