NY Times reports unnamed Clinton associates say she’s resigned to losing and will drop out and endorse Obama next week. Which is no big surprise. All the current storm and fury signifies nothing except that she expects (and probably should get) a plum post in the Obama Administration or maybe be VP.

Clinton to drop out, say associates
Clinton cites R.F.K. assassination as reason to continue, then apologizes
Senator Hillary Clinton apologized for referring to the assassination of Robert Kennedy in 1968 as a reason she should continue her battle with Senator Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination.
Representative James E. Clyburn of South Carolina, reacting to Mrs. Clinton’s comment through a spokeswoman, said only, “This is beyond the pale.”
She’s passed into the realm [...]
Race-baiting is not a winning strategy
Call DNC Chair Howard Dean and Tell Him to Stop the Clinton Campaign’s race-baiting
In the last few days, a desperate Clinton campaign has turned to race-baiting as its primary strategy. Tell DNC Chair Howard Dean to insist that if she plans to continue her campaign, Sen. Clinton must end her strategy of racial division.

Superdelegates must follow the will of voters
Demand that the Democratic Party defend democracy
Leaders of the Democratic Party are playing a dangerous game — risking the credibility of the party to hand Hillary Clinton the nomination against the will of voters. Heading down this path means disenfranchising millions of voters and legitimizing a campaign strategy that has displayed a clear pattern of [...]
ABC Democratic Debate
WaPo: Debate hosts Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos “turned in shoddy, despicable performances.”
Clinton needed a knockout to get back in the race, but came nowhere close as this shoddy excuse for a debate instead showed the inane and vapid state of too much of US journalism with few questions of substance being asked.
Obama’s experience
“He didn’t have a lot of experience in running a presidential campaign, did he?”
– Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, interviewed on Good Morning America, when asked if Sen. Barack Obama had enough experience to be president.
Obama has run a brilliant campaign while Clinton, by virtually any measure, has badly mismanaged her campaign, with the [...]
Penn purged
Mark Penn has stepped aside as chief strategist in the wake of revelations that he lobbied on behalf of a trade treaty with Colombia that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton opposes.
Except he’ll still be giving advice. So how gone is he really?
Given his extraordinary incompetence in running her campaign coupled with an apparent massive ability [...]
How did Clintons ‘earn’ $15m from Burkle firm?
Is this why the Clinton’s delayed as long as they did on releasing their tax returns? Because this does not pass the smell test.
Bloomberg
“Most people who make that much money work for it,” said Yale University tax law professor Michael Graetz, a former Treasury Department official in President George H.W. Bush’s administration. “What are they [...]
Obama retakes lead over Hillary
He took major hits these past several days and rebounded quickly. This guy is scary good. And Clinton is apparently in the red financially too.
That Politco bombshell yesterday citing Clinton aides who said they realize she has no chance of winning has gone viral and been quoted everywhere, including mainstream media.
My guess: She’ll drop out [...]
Clinton aides: She has no chance of winning
One important Clinton adviser estimated to Politico privately that she has no more than a 10 percent chance of winning her race against Barack Obama, an appraisal that was echoed by other operatives.
Issues, anyone?
I don’t care about Rev. Wright, or what McCain did or didn’t say, or snooping into Obama’s passport record, or Hillary’s White House schedule when Bill was prez, or any of the other banal trivialities being passed off as news..
All of it is almost totally irrelevant. The presidential campaign is already disintegrating into a swamp [...]
DailyKos declares war against Clinton
Kos at DailyKos says Hillary knows she can only win “via coup by super delegate”
Yet a coup by super delegate would sunder the party in civil war. Clinton knows this, it’s her only path to victory, and she doesn’t care. She is willing — nay, eager to split the party apart in her mad pursuit [...]
Obama and Clinton
Folks, the increasingly nasty disputes and disagreements between and Obama and Clinton need to end, and end now. Never underestimate the ability of the Democratic Party to shoot itself in the foot and turn a sure win into a defeat. A divisive primary that ruptures the party would be a swell way to accomplish that. [...]
Superdelegates breaking towards Obama
If Obama maintains his current 150 lead in pledged delegates through the end of the primary season, Clinton “would have to snag more than 70 percent of the remaining 334 or so superdelegates.”
But TPM wonders if Rev. Wright could be a death blow to Obama.
