They also mentioned that AP reports that Bayhr is out.

...according to CNN, they were all notified last night of the results.
Is HRC the only one campaigning for Obama today?
If Obama drags this out until tomorrow, it will be interesting to watch her demeanor on the stump.

A very nice article by David Gergen today.
He says basically that Obama needs some serious sparks in his campaign, and I have to agree with all three of his suggested options...
1) Pick HRC as VP.
or
2) Pick Gore as VP.
or
3) Name your cabinet already, attaching trusted voices to your campaign.

The pendulum swings again.
Obama was +10 over Clinton 8 days ago, and now Clinton is +1.
I think it is apparent that neither candidate should take anything for granted. Every step matters, and opinions are still indeed volatile.
Despite all the conversation about Obama and Clinton, I wanted to bring to attention this little-seen Richardson clip regarding his stance on sexual orientation.
Is he polished enough to be a VP for either Obama or Clinton?
