Political bits

Right after the Clinton speech (and I mean right after,) Dean, Pelosi, Reid, and Joe Manchin issued a call for all superdelegates to declare by Friday, creating a second wave of Obama superdelegates likely to make Clinton's position much weaker.

(Politico) Maybe Clinton's efforts to drive traffic to her website are not so much about messages of support as financial support,

Supporters who do send a message using the form on the homepage are sent directly to a page requesting money.

(Can't raise money and pay off your debts if you dropped out last night. The VP talk and continued "fight" sure gives fire to take more money from those small donors.)

(Ambinder) A good post on the Clinton VP garbage.

(Politico) It did seem that Obama was offering Clinton some form of healthcare czar in his speech (rather than VP.)

The Clinton campaign "mistake lists" are everywhere (WSJ, WaPo's Fix, ABC's Dowd,) but I really don't care about that today.

(Caucus) " The Obama campaign says there were 17,000 people inside the arena where he spoke and 15,000 outside."

(FirstRead) Obama gained 59.5 superdelegates yesterday.

I know it doesn't play into the breathless speculation, but I would expect Clinton to step back and endorse by the end of the week.

And, in NM, Heather Wilson lost her primary.

(More throughout the day, I'm sure.)
