The idea seems to be DOA in the Obama camp:
So much for that! An Obama insider says the idea of helping Hillary with her debt went down very, very badly among supporters, donors, fundraisers, etc. This person says the most generous offer he could foresee would be Obama headlining a fundraiser for Hillary, but cautions [...]

Hillary may win in West Virginia and Kentucky, but Obama doesn’t seem to care.
Here’s his schedule from TIME:
Tuesday - Cape Giradeau, Missouri
Wednesday – Macomb County and Grand Rapids, Michigan
Friday – South Dakota
Saturday and Sunday – Oregon
Next week – Tampa, Orlando, Palm Beach County and Miami
Moving on…

Today is the National Association of Letter Carriers’ annual food drive. That means you can donate to your local food bank just by sticking a few edible odds and ends into a bag and putting them out by your mailbox. Its a great way to get rid of that commercially packaged fruitcake and that dusty [...]

Myanmar (Burma) has long been one of the world’s most oppressive and brutal nations. But the recent cyclone is giving us all a glimpse of how profoundly evil the ruling party, called the junta, truly is. First, the junta hesitated for days before allowing international aid. Now, the junta has seized humanitarian supplies causing the [...]

The title says it all.
USA Today has the details:
More than 43,000 U.S. troops listed as medically unfit for combat in the weeks before their scheduled deployment to Iraq or Afghanistan since 2003 were sent anyway, Pentagon records show.
This reliance on troops found medically “non-deployable” is another sign of stress placed on a military that has [...]

It’s over.

The only votes left to count are coming out of Lake County, which is where Gary, Indiana is located.
From Wash Post:
“Let me tell you, when all the votes are counted, when Gary comes in, I think you’re looking at something for the world to see,” Clay, an Obama supporter, said in a telephone interview from [...]

I bet they’re breathing a sigh of relief right now, and the margin is probably over 5% if they’re calling it this early.
So what now? Can Obama win by enough to really make Hillary’s Indiana win seem insignificant?
We shall see…
More here.

This one slipped by me yesterday.
From TPM:
Hillary Clinton was endorsed by Democrats Abroad super Theresa Morelli, who gets half a vote.
So this brings the post-PA pickup totals to 23 to 11.5, favoring Obama. And as TPM points out, she only has a 15 superdelegate lead now.
The total pickups are after the jump…

This from a recent Rasmussen poll:
The survey also found that 60% of the nation’s adults say the Primary Season has gone on too long. Twenty-six percent (26%) say the process has worked well and 9% haven’t paid much attention. Nearly a quarter of unaffiliateds–those not affiliated with either major party—say they have not been paying [...]

Whenever I’m interviewed on Christian or conservative talk radio, the topic nearly always turns to — or starts out with — abortion. Never mind that the book that prompted my appearance is about independent politics; radio hosts and even book reviewers zero in on the one chapter on abortion and gay marriage. The irony is [...]

Recently, McCain admonished North Carolina Republicans as being “out of touch” for wanting to run this ad…

Now, let’s make one thing clear. Obama was not at church during the “god damn America” sermon and he’s made that clear. The commercial purposefully tries to blur that line and suggest Obama agrees with Wright’s sentiment, and for [...]

Despite all the advantages independent voters have — like never feeling beholden to a major party — we’ve historically had one serious disadvantage: finding each other. It’s not as if we had an umbrella organization that held annual conferences or nominating conventions; we’re independents, after all, and not exactly joiners by nature.
All that changed when God created the Internet. [...]

But he is crafting a similar version of his own…
From The Daily Press:
Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has suggested he would oppose a bipartisan measure by Virginia Sen. Jim Webb to expand college tuition benefits for military veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan.
McCain told reporters Monday he was working on alternative legislation aimed [...]

Commenter TerenceC was there and has this…
OK – So, I went to the Obama rally on the Mall at Independence Park in Philly – I had my lap top, I had my wireless card, I was even doing email and surfing, but it never once occurred to me that I should be “reporting” live on [...]
