So I hear nothing important happened yesterday.... ok, just kidding. Here we go:

Obama is the nominee after 5 months of campaigning and 50 states. Has it really only been 5 months cause I feel like its been 5 years. Anyone with me on that?

"I think it's particularly poignant that in 2008, it comes exactly 200 years after we ended [the slave trade] in the United States" -- Ex-WH adviser David Gergen, on Obama becoming the Dem nominee (CNN).

"I'm overwhelmed with a sense of joy" -- Rev. Jesse Jackson (CNN).

There was also a lot of reaction to Hillary Clinton's speech, where she said, "I will be making no decisions tonight."

"Well whatever that was, it wasn't a concession speech" -- FNC's Hume.

"If I were Barack Obama, if I heard that speech, I would not be very happy. ... They are living in parallel universes right now" -- CNN's Borger.

"Clearly, she's trying to position herself, keep her options open" -- NBC's Russert (MSNBC).

PB Reports

At 9:43 Tuesday night, the Missouri Democratic party announced superdelegates Jay Nixon, John Temporiti, and Robin Carnahan had endorsed Barack Obama.

That's about half an hour after he claimed victory.

We're told Yolanda Wheat and Helen Knetzer of Kansas have also endorsed the Illinois senator.

That means only Leila Medley remains unpledged among Missouri superdelegates.

And Rep. Dennis Moore has endorsed Obama, leaving Rep. Nancy Boyda unpledged.

FYI Boyda still says you'll have to pull her endorsement from her cold dead hands...

Poor John... what do you expect it IS Rolling Stone...

In other News....

Dan Glickman... gets all posh with Politico

Stop screwing with Evolution!!!!!

Stop messing with Young People!!!

And my PERSONAL FAVORITE

The alternative choice in this primary makes the decision even more simple. With a stubborn commitment to confused priorities alongside a patented brand of intellectual/rhetorical gobbledygook, Ben Hodge is an unacceptable choice for town dog catcher, let alone State Senator. Our party, and more importantly, our state, have serious problems to address. Tim Owens is a solid first step in achieving those objectives. We therefore fully support his candidacy and hope the citizens of the 8th District will follow our lead.
