(Let's begin with this simple phrase: "Yes We Can." And then let's elect Barak Obama President.)
- These are the big national union endorsements that John Edwards fought to get, but never was able to. With this organizing and ground game numbers in Ohio, Texas and Pennsylvania, Obama just got a lot closer to the nomination. On the other side, John McCain decided today that water-boarding is not that bad after all. Maybe he is pushing for an endorsement from Torturers-R-Us, Local 86?
- What is all that Clinton thing about? Here is one article that seems at least in part to explain.
- FROM ARTHUR: This is one of the more intelligent pro-Obama editorials I have seen. If the paper is influential we could see a big pickup in Wisconsin on Tuesday. One difficulty with polling this year is that no one calls people who only have cell phones. Both of my boys seem increasingly incapable of understanding why that box thing is ringing, whereas one of them sent and received 1,200 text messages one month. Young people have developed the manual dexterity of brain surgeons. But no pollster calls them. IF they vote this year, which is an open question, they are far more likely to vote for Obama than Clinton, and way, way more likely to vote for Obama than McCain.
- Celebrating the inspirational words of John McCain. This is even more fun if you have seen the Obama tribute video "yes we can"( see above), but either way it is wonderfully deranged. I don't think the RNC will get it.

- Bullshit Alert: House Resolution 888, "Affirming the rich spiritual and religious history of our Nation's founding and subsequent history and expressing support for designation of the first week in May as 'American Religious History Week' for the appreciation of and education on America's history of religious faith."
