1. *******Breaking News AP: Obama wins Texas********

The Associated Press is considered to be the definitive arbitrator of delegate counts has given the state to Obama based on Saturday's County Convention. Up till now the state was listed as a tie awaiting clearer results
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5i_QDnA56kHa3qYl41FUY...

I will have a thread available in about an hour - if anybody wants to post it before then feel free to do so.

Obama Wins Most Texas Delegates



WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Barack Obama has won the overall delegate race in Texas thanks to a strong showing in Democratic county conventions this past weekend.

Obama picked up seven of nine outstanding delegates, giving him a total of 99 Texas delegates to the party's national convention this summer. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton won the other two, giving her a total of 94 Texas delegates, according to an analysis of returns by The Associated Press.

Texas Democrats held both a presidential primary and caucus. Clinton narrowly won the popular vote in the state's primary March 4, earning her 65 national convention delegates to Obama's 61.

Precinct caucuses began immediately after polls closed primary night and quickly devolved into chaos in many parts of the state because of an unprecedented turnout of more than 1 million Democrats. The state party was never able to provide complete results from the caucuses, which is why the AP withheld nine delegates.

The precinct caucuses elected delegates to about 280 county and state senate district conventions on Saturday. The AP awarded the remaining delegates based on results from Saturday's conventions, showing Obama with about 58 percent of vote, compared to 42 percent for Clinton.

Obama won 38 delegates through the caucus/convention system, and Clinton won 29.

The final delegate allocation will be decided at the party's state convention June 6-7, and the numbers could change if either campaign is unable to maintain the level of support they had over the weekend.

Obama leads the overall race for the Democratic nomination with 1,631 delegates, including separately chosen party and elected officials known as superdelegates. Clinton has 1,501, according to the latest AP tally.

2. The Casey Fly in the Clinton Ointment

The Casey Fly in the Clinton Ointment

By G. Terry Madonna and Michael Young April 01, 2008

Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey has finally entered the high stakes game of presidential endorsements after months of studied neutrality. And he did it with some uncharacteristic pizzazz. The endorsement, much coveted by Obama and much covered by the state press, was delivered last week in Pittsburgh. Since then it has been analyzed closely for why Casey did it. Perhaps too closely!

Indeed much attention has been paid to why Casey endorsed, but little attention to what it means for the race.

...In particular it threatens to undercut Clinton's support with some key constituencies, especially blue collar, working class, white voters, many of them Catholic, who so far have been hot for Hillary but only lukewarm for Obama. Casey, who won his Senate seat with almost 60 percent of the vote, is popular with these groups and might persuade many of them to take a second look at Obama.

Finally the Casey endorsement may also help Obama corral more super delegates. Not widely reported has been the considerable deficit in Pennsylvania super delegates for Obama. Of the state's 29 supers, Casey becomes only the fourth to side with Obama. His endorsement now offers the yet undeclared super delegates cover and an excuse to endorse Obama.

The take away point here is that the Casey endorsement may be a game-ender, a final speed bump for Clinton that blocks any remaining viable path to the nomination. She needs to win Pennsylvania big, and Casey's presence in the race makes it hard for her to do that. Clinton probably still wins the state-but not by enough to allow her to continue the race past Pennsylvania.

Obama wallops Stephen Colbert

Comedian Stephen Colbert — who flirted with a run for the presidency last fall — is not going to be happy.

Colbert challenged supporters of Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton to hold their primary
by donating to Pennsylvania schools through nonprofit DonorsChoose.org.
When he "ran" in South Carolina, Colbert's fans gave $66,000 to Palmetto State schools
and he ended his short-lived bid.

5. Michigan Congressman Floats Compromise For State's Delegates

Michigan Congressman Floats Compromise For State's Delegates

By Eric Kleefeld - March 31, 2008

Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI), a former Edwards supporter who is now neutral,
has floated a new plan for seating delegates from Michigan. Under his proposal, Hillary Clinton
would get 47 delegates, Barack Obama 36, and the remaining 73 delegates would be doled out
on the basis of the national popular vote — thus seating the delegation with only a very small
impact on the delegate math.

The plan is similar to one offered in Florida by two state legislators there —
but if their proposal's lack of traction is any guide, Stupak's plan probably doesn't have too bright a future.

6. Damage to the Clinton Brand

Damage to the Clinton Brand

By E. J. Dionne April 01, 2008

WASHINGTON -- Chill out.

More specifically: "We're going to win this election if we just chill out and let everybody have their say."

Thus, Bill Clinton's advice to Democrats who are gnashing their collective teeth over whether the extended struggle between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama will cause their party to lose an election it once seemed certain to win.

One person who took Clinton's advice was Obama, who went out of his way last weekend to defend his opponent's right to stay in the contest. That was a shrewd move since the Clinton campaign is gifted at turning any effort to push her out into (1) a form of sexism, (2) a fiendish plot against her by Washington "insiders," and (3) a way of raising lots of money online.

...Yet much of this has been lost. Bill Clinton's approach to the South Carolina primary, the Clinton campaign's effort to ignore everything it once said about the irrelevance of the Florida and Michigan primaries, Hillary Clinton's willingness to say (or imply) that John McCain is more prepared to be president than Obama -- all this and more have created a ferocious backlash against the Clintons. The result is that when the word "Clinton" crosses their lips, many Democrats sound like Ken Starr, Bob Barr and the late Henry Hyde.

"Chill out" is good advice. Hillary Clinton has every right to keep fighting. But her campaign has suffered from a ricochet effect. Attacks aimed at her opponent and efforts to exaggerate her experience have weakened rather than strengthened her claim to the nomination.

This is obviously a problem for Hillary Clinton herself, but it is also very bad for a Democratic Party that cannot afford to see the entire Clinton legacy discredited.

The Republicans Have Handed Us Their Kryptonite

By Pamela Merritt - March 31, 2008

I watched McCain’s ad recently, and once I stopped reacting as a person,
and instead regarded it as a Brand professional… I was astonished.

The Republicans are running away from their Brand.
That’s why they are running McCain as an “American.”
Because if they run him as a Republican, they will lose.

Where to start?

The contaminated pet food and toys that strikes the most vulnerable of those we love?
The senseless war that has killed, damaged, and endangered the least vulnerable element of our society,
the military, and left it unable to do its job?

The ridiculous tax cut and deregulation policies which crumble the foundations of our roads and bridges,
our education and our skills, our business and our dollars?

It's everywhere. It's huge. How do we sum up ALL the cronyism, corruption, and callousness?

Republican.

9. Clinton's convention strategy in doubt (and who the credentials committee consists of)

a magnifying glass over the credentials committee process

Clinton's convention strategy in doubt

By DAVID PAUL KUHN | 3/31/08

If the fight over whether to count the results in Florida and Michigan makes it to the Democratic National Convention, Hillary Clinton will not have enough pledged votes on the 169-member Credentials Committee to deliver a majority decision in her favor, according to an analysis conducted for Politico.

Her only hope of getting the key committee to vote out a “majority report” supporting her position rests on her ability to persuade an as-yet-undetermined number of the 25 members appointed to the committee by party Chairman Howard Dean to cast votes for her position.

The DNC’s Credentials Committee consists of 144 pledged members (Florida and Michigan are not included) plus the 25 party leaders and elected officials appointed by Dean. The 25 Dean appointees include a mix of Dean loyalists, Obama supporters and at least several individuals who have endorsed Clinton.
...
The analysis was conducted by Matt Seyfang, an attorney and a former delegate counter for past Democratic presidential candidates including Bill Clinton in 1992 to Bill Bradley in 2000. According to his projections and a calculation of the number of committee seats that each candidate is entitled to based on their proportion to the statewide vote or the relevant caucus rules, Obama holds roughly 65 seats and Clinton 56. There are slightly more than 23 seats still to be decided in the remaining contests.

10. Confused About Florida Blame

Confused About Florida Blame

by JackieinCA - April 1, 2008

I was just watching Larry King Live, where yet again all of Hillary's supporters were accusing Obama of blocking the re-vote in Florida. I know Obama raised questions about the legality of the mail in re-vote. However, I also read in a post today that Hillary's National Campaign Co-Chair blocked the Florida revote. Curious about that, I looked into it.

Per Hillary's site, Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wassermann Schultz is Hillary's National Campaign Co-chair.

Per an article on CNN.com on March 18th:

"We researched every potential alternative process --
from caucuses to county conventions to mail-in elections -- but no plan could come anywhere close to being viable in Florida," said state party chairwoman Karen Thurman in an e-mail sent to Florida Democrats late Monday afternoon.

"I'm glad that the party has reached the same conclusion that was reached by the congressional delegation a week ago," said U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Florida.

A supporter of Sen. Hillary Clinton, Wasserman Schultz had staunchly opposed a re-vote.

She said she would consider a proposal that would allow the full delegation to weigh in at the convention, but she wants each delegate to have only half a vote....

11. **Breaking Gallup: Democrats and Republicans agree Obama tougher candidate against McCain

PRINCETON, NJ -- A new Gallup Panel survey finds a majority of both Republicans and Democrats saying Barack Obama has a better chance than Hillary Clinton of defeating Republican John McCain in the November presidential election.








The survey was conducted March 24-27, interviewing a nationally representative sample of 1,005 Gallup Panel members. Democrats were asked whether Clinton or Obama has the better chance of defeating McCain in November: 59% say Obama does; 30% say Clinton. Republicans were asked whether McCain has a better chance of defeating Clinton or Obama on Election Day. Sixty-four percent say McCain has a better chance of beating Clinton, compared with only 22% choosing Obama, meaning Republicans view Obama as the more formidable candidate

Implications

Clearly at this point, the party rank-and-file thinks Obama would present a stronger challenge to McCain in the fall than Clinton would. Those attitudes could certainly change over the remainder of the campaign, but it is notable that Obama maintains a wide lead in these perceptions shortly after the Jeremiah Wright controversy knocked his campaign off stride.

Also, the poll shows there is a fairly widely held belief among party supporters -- including a plurality of Clinton supporters -- that the ongoing campaign is hurting their chances of winning in November. It seems unlikely those attitudes would improve much going forward, particularly if the tone of the Democratic campaign remains negative. If so, then it is likely there would be further calls for Clinton to drop out of the race, and that would put more pressure on her to do well in the Pennsylvania primary on April 22 and all the contests that follow.

13. "Never knew what hit her"

Hillary Campaign Post-Mortem

Bill Marshall - March 31, 2008
Where did Hillary's campaign go wrong?

She had every advantage going in: a lead in the polls, name recognition, the backing of the most popular Democratic presient in the past 40 years, fund raising, an heir of inevitability. S, how could she lose?

Hillary never gave the voters a reason to vote for her.

With George H. Bush, his problem was "the vision thing." Well, that's been Hillary's problem too. I'm sure that you can come up with the rationale for the Obama, Edwards, or McCain candidacies in a heart beat. In 25 words or less - probably in just a word or two. Ask yourself the rationale for Bill Clinton's campaign: "It's the economy, stupid."

If you had to state the rationale for Hillary's campaign in a nutshell, it would be: "Ready on day one." Unfortunately, that's not a reason to run for president. It may be a fine qualification, but it doesn't tell anyone in the electorate what you want to do on day one. It doesn't say what your vision for the future of America is.

In the comments section:
Even given all this, she still would have won if Barack Obama were not in the race. He is an incredible campaigner, very smart strategically, able to mobilize an amazing base of supporters. This is not Clinton's fault. She was caught off guard, underestimated him. Still does, apparently, thinking that he can't win in the fall and wouldn't be able to govern (cited as a major reason she doesn't get out of the race). Never knew what hit her...

Sinbad endorses Obama; calls on JJR, Mark Penn, other fake avatars to follow suitBy Sinbad at TPM Cafe - March 31, 2008

Today, with great enthusiasm, I announce my full support and endorsement of the candidacy of Senator Barack Obama. He is an honest and decent man who has captured the imagination of the American people. Additionally, this is a man who knows definitively whether we should eat here, or at the next place. "The next place," he told me this morning as I informed him of my decision, "has tacos."

That is enough for me.

Now let me say something about my great friends, the Clintons. First of all, my great affection and admiration for Senator Clinton and her husband will never waver. Deep in the heart of battle, pinned down by sniper fire, I relied on nothing so much as the bravery of JJR and HRC to rescue me from harm and guarantee the preservation of my life. I owe them both my loyalty. I do not, however, owe them my vote.

Do not think that this is easy for me. I planned on calling and informing the Clintons of my decision myself, but lately their phones have been busy, and I couldn't get through. I left a message last night, but just in case they didn't get it, this is what I said: "Hey, I'm endorsing Obama."

http://www.nbc10.com/news/15759420/detail.html

If the Democratic primary in Pennsylvania were held Tuesday, April 1, Hillary Clinton would defeat Barack Obama by 12 percentage points, according to a recent SurveyUSA poll conducted exclusively for NBC 10 and three other Pennsylvania TV stations across the state.

However, the poll showed Obama gaining ground in the Keystone State, particularly in cities like Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, and among older voters, men and conservative Democrats.

Compared to an identical SurveyUSA poll released three weeks ago, Clinton is down two points and Obama is up five, with Clinton's previous 19-point lead cut to 12, the survey found.

Hillary Tells Media In Late-Voting States Obama Wants Race To End

Clinton is going on TV in Pennsylvania, Montana and Indiana, telling residents Obama doesn't want them to vote.

Hillary appears to have adopted a concerted strategy of telling local media in states that will vote after Pennsylvania that Obama and his supporters are opposed to allowing those states' residents to vote.

Here's Hillary making that case in an interview with a local TV station in North Carolina...
Hillary made similar comments to a Montana station, too, and to one in Indiana. These comments appear to be targeted towards local media; she hasn't to my knowledge gone this far in her speeches or in her comments to the national political press.

While it's true that Obama surrogates have called for her to drop out, the farthest that any Obama campaign official has gone is to say that Hillary almost certainly can't win the contest and that there should be a "sober" evaluation of her chances. And Obama himself has explicitly said she has a right to continue campaigning.

That Hillary is now pushing this line suggests that her advisers believe Obama surrogates erred in giving her an opening to galvanize her supporters and play the feisty underdog -- something the Obama campaign may recognize, too, judging by its efforts to rapidly dial back the calls for her to leave the race.

NC-Sen: Jim Neal stuns James Carville into silence

by pamindurham Tue Apr 01, 2008

This is priceless. Last week at the Young Democrats convention her in NC there was a private reception with Clintonista and DLC tool James Carville and local pols. Blue America-endorsed North Carolina U.S. Senate candidate Jim Neal was there as Mary Matalin’s husband got up to shill for Neal’s opponent and Chuck Schumer/DSCC-backed candidate State Senator Kay Hagan.

Ryan Teague Beckwith at The News & Observer's Under the Dome has the skinny on what happened, and there's a photo of it below the fold.

pamindurham's diary :: ::
Here’s a great photo of people reacting to the confrontation as Carville was steamrolled into silence by Neal:

At one point, Carville said that North Carolina has a great Senate candidate in Kay Hagan, noting that he had just spoken with her daughter, Carrie.

Neal, who is running against Hagan for the Democratic nomination, spoke out from the back of the room.



"I said, 'We have primaries here in North Carolina. We don't have coronations,'" Neal said later.

He said Carville did not respond. "It was the first time I've ever seen him quiet," Neal said.

19. Perfect Pitch: Barack Obama tunes his fiddle to the minor key of Central Pennsylvania

April 01, 2008
Perfect pitch
Posted by Mark Kleiman
Barack Obama tunes his fiddle to the minor key of Central Pennsylvania. Mighty pretty tune.

And note that Obama doesn't appeal to that mythical character "Joe Six-Pack," who, in the minds of campaign consultants and reporters, cares only about his paycheck. Obama doesn't get much of a cheer for talking about global warming. But when he promises to close down Guantanamo and restore habeas corpus, and say "You'll have a President who as taught the Constitution, who believes in the Constitution, who will obey the Constitution of the United States of America," the crowd is on its feet, cheering.

You can get 5 1/2-1 betting on Obama to win Pennsylvania. Those sound like attractive odds to me. He just might pull a surprise.

Depressingly, the NYT reporter thinks that Obama has "sheathed" his oratorical sword, just because he's speaking more directly to the needs of working folks. "A thrill these talks are not," he complains. The Harrisburgers seem to disagree, and I'm with them. Watch the video and see which side you're on.

Freepers turn on Condi Rice over comments on Obama's speech on race
by: pam
Sat Mar 29, 2008 at 07:00:00 AM EDT

Did I call it or not? You'll recall that the denizens of the Free Republic were huge fans of Condoleezza Rice - in fact there was a draft Condi in 08 movement there. However, I was certain once she commented positively about Obama's speech about race, the love affair would be OVER in the swamps. These are the mild, straightforward comments that landed Dr. Rice in the conservative dog house.

"Black Americans were a founding population," she said. "Africans and Europeans came here and founded this country together - Europeans by choice and Africans in chains. That's not a very pretty reality of our founding."
As a result, Miss Rice told editors and reporters at The Washington Times, "descendants of slaves did not get much of a head start, and I think you continue to see some of the effects of that."

"That particular birth defect makes it hard for us to confront it, hard for us to talk about it, and hard for us to realize that it has continuing relevance for who we are today," she said.

Miss Rice declined to comment on the campaign, saying only that it was "important" that Mr. Obama "gave it for a whole host of reasons."

She wasn't claiming victim status, she was simply making a statement of fact that opening up an honest conversation about race is necessary -- and that it is difficult to do so.
See the Freeper filth below the fold; I think the reaction should tell black folks in the GOP where they stand should they dare to acknowledge the existence of white privilege in this country. You can be at the highest levels of government, work hard for your wealth and join that country club, but in the end, you're still an uppity nigger if you mention the obvious legacy of this country when it comes to slavery, Jim Crow -- or even suggest that our country needs to move forward by talking about it, not denying it.

25. NBC HEADLINE DELEGATE UPDATE: OBAMA GAINS IN MS (TVOR STORY CONT.)

The historical record of the steps taken by thevoiceofreason can be found here

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5336100&mesg_id=5336100

Here is the NBC article
http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/04/01/848251.aspx



From NBC's Domenico Montanaro
NBC News has adjusted the delegate count in Mississippi, giving one more to Obama and one less to Clinton. The count was 19-14 and now stands at 20-13. The official results were certified in Mississippi and Obama finished with a slightly higher statewide vote result than originally indicated, 62.5% to 37.5%. That result broke a threshold and triggered the extra delegate.

We are also, however, reducing Obama's superdelegate count by one, since Rep. Al Wynn (D-MD), who lost his primary fight, said he will leave his office in June, two months before the Democratic convention. No word yet if Wynn's exit will reduce the total number of superdelegates from 794 to 793.

Earlier today, we noted that Obama won the total delegates in Texas, 99-94, after the remaining nine caucus delegates were allocated 7-2 for Obama.

Obama now leads by 130 in the overall delegate count, 1637-1507. Obama leads by 164 pledged delegates, 1416-1252. (There remains just one delegate unallocated by NBC News from Democrats Abroad.) Clinton leads among superdelegates, 255-221, per the NBC News Political Unit count.


(for those wondering Wynn was defeated in a primary and his seat will be taken by her and she has already endorsed Obama)
