Clinton wins W.Va. by a landslide, exit polls troubling for Obama
All networks have called it for Clinton. The margin is yet to be seen, but it seems big and will help her with the popular vote. It looks like the Clinton camp is marching forward. Campaign strategist Howard Wolfson said on CNN that Clinton will not go into the convention without Michigan and Florida being seated. Currently, Chelsea is in Puerto Rico. Michelle Obama is expected to make a visit tomorrow.
In regards to this primary, even if the result doesn't change much, what's troubling for Obama is that...

TPMtv: Sunday Show Roundup: The Long Goodbye
Sunday Show Roundup: The Long Goodbye
Your Daily Politics Video Blog: The question now doesn't seem to be whether or not Hillary Clinton will continue to wage a campaign, but rather how she wages it as the final three weeks of primaries plays out. And her comments last week to USA Today concerning the white working-class vote suggest that the question is still up in the air.

Ted Kennedy puts down Hillary, alienates her voters
When asked whether an Obama/Clinton ticket was possible, Ted Kennedy said the following to Bloomberg TV:
"Well, the first is always a demand that you're going to have someone that's going to be able to assume the responsibility. I would hope that he would also give consideration to somebody that has –- is in tune with his appeal for the nobler aspirations of the American people. And I think if we had real leadership –- as we do with Barack Obama –- in the number-two spot as well, it'd be...

It's sometimes fun & games on the campaign trail
From MSNBC's First Read, a reporter's first person account of playing Taboo with Obama and his staff. It's pretty amusing, and reveals a more human side behind all media coverage. It also reveals a bit more about Obama. First Read:From NBC/NJ’s Athena Jones
SOMEWHERE-IN-THE-SKY-OVER-AMERICA -- Life on the campaign trail is often grueling. The 20-hour days, the ubiquitous turkey sandwiches, the constant travel, the never knowing where you're going to be the next night -- not to mention hearing the... -
NYT tastelessly compares Clinton to Eight Belles
Moments after Eight Belles was euthanized on the track of the Kentucky Derby, I was just waiting for a barrage of tasteless commentary comparing Hillary Clinton to the filly that came in second. Sadly, I wasn't disappointed. See video:
Just days before the Derby, Clinton told her supporters to "bet on the filly," the only female horse in the race. Running the race of her life, Eight Belles came up short, not only losing to a horse called Big Brown, but also breaking both ankles, an irreparable...

Clinton isn't dropping out--and she shouldn't
As many predicted, yesterday was a split-decision, however, Obama ran up huge margins in N.C. and narrowly lost in Indiana, signaling a change in the race to practically everyone in the media. While the pundits have already called the race, Clinton vows to go on--and she still should. Right now, this is a win-win situation for her. If she loses, as many suspect, she will have the leverage to bargain with Obama to absorb her campaign debt. Furthermore, longer this goes on, (and there's only a...

Game changer for Obama
CBS News may have called Indiana for Clinton--which is still debatable--but she got trounced in North Carolina, and she didn't do what she needed to do, namely keep it close in North Carolina and win convincingly in Indiana. Obama has found his voice again, giving a speech that reached out to Clinton supporters, while also lifting up the Democratic party. We'll see what Clinton says, and what the final totals are, but it's apparent that Obama withstood a few tough weeks, and overperformed expectations....
