The hill that Hillary Rodham Clinton must climb to beat Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination will grow a little steeper on Monday, as it has most days lately.
Margaret Campbell, a Montana state legislator, plans to declare her support for Senator Obama, of Illinois. She becomes the 69th superdelegate he has picked up since the Feb. 5 coast-to-coast string of primary elections and caucus votes.
This is the slow dripping that Clinton is feeling. The slow departure of the superdelegates to Barack Obama.
Yet Mrs. Clinton's once formidable lead among superdelegates who have announced preferences has shrunk to 34 by the Obama campaign count. The pool of remaining uncommitted superdelegates for her to draw from has dwindled to around 330, fewer than half the overall total of 795 superdelegates.
Mrs. Clinton tried again this weekend to stem the erosion, speaking to Ms. Campbell on a campaign swing through Montana. But Ms. Campbell declined to hold out any longer, saying, "Senator Obama reminds me of why I'm a Democrat."
Clinton is behind by more than 160 delegates. The number of superdelegates are moving towards Obama. This means that unless the superdelegates overturn what folks voted for in the states Obama won, mathematically Hillary Clinton can not and will not win the Democratic Nomination.
What next? Well, not up to us, but up to Hillary Clinton. She has every right to continue her campaign but as she does for many, she becomes more irrelevant as the days go on. Sad, but true.
Time to look at McCain, that is what we all need to be doing from this point onward. It is time to look towards November, 2008.
To Reach Pennsylvania's Blue Collar, Obama Loosens Up
Barack Obama hit the bowling lanes and walked the factory floor, hoisted the local brew and even nursed a calf as he introduced himself over the weekend to the working-class residents of hardscrabble towns in the valleys and mountains of southern Pennsylvania.
In the first days of a bus tour that marks the opening of Obama's campaign in the Pennsylvania primary, a candidate who has done best among the young, the well-educated and African-Americans devoted much of his time to well-publicized visits to habitues of blue-collar America. continue
he is the linchpin of Barack Obama's presidential campaign, and yet she does not raise money, plot strategy, lead conference calls, or carry a BlackBerry, which, in her day, was an unassuming fruit that grew on bushes.
Marian Robinson does, though, carry an exalted title in this race: mother-in-law. And from that perch, she makes the whole thing run.
A steely 70-year-old matriarch with a raspy voice and seen-it-all laugh, Robinson manages the family while Obama and his wife, Michelle, venture to the far reaches of the campaign trail. Amid the daily chaos of the marathon primary campaign, it often falls to Michelle's mother to keep the Obamas' two daughters - Malia, 9, and Sasha, 6 - grounded, not to mention fed, bathed, and in bed by 8:30 p.m. continue
remarks in Ft. Wayne, IN on Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr
AS HER ham-handed handlers insult entire states, and her self-absorbed husband indulges in red-faced, finger-wagging outbursts, Sen. Hillary Clinton soldiers on.
It is a joyless campaign, with stump speeches that carry tales of woe and get delivered in a booming voice that could open a wall safe.
A full three months after the Iowa caucuses, nearly two months after Washington's caucuses, the Clintons seem bent on turning the Democrats' fertile ground into scorched earth. continue
