Poll question: Michigan = Edwards then Florida = ?????
The flow of super delegate announcements stopped on Saturday. Yes the add ons were announced but they had to announce them as they were openly declared at the state conventions. California split 3-2 Clinton-Obama.

Obama went to Michigan with a special endorser, Sen. John Edwards.

On Tuesday Senator Obama will reach the pledged delegate majority in Kentucky - he is only 15 away. He will accumulate about 65 pledged delegates in KY/OR (out of 125) There are a large number of SDs that are committed to announce for the pledged delegate winner including Speaker Pelosi, President Carter, Senator Murry and Cantwell.

After Oregon is announced Senator Obama will only need 50 delegates to clinch the nomination. He has 10 more Edwards delegates plus the Pelosi delegates (whose total number is unknown) plus all of the Super Delegates that will not want to be the last kid on the bus.

On Wednesday evening the campaigns must release their April campaign numbers.

Tuesday night Senator Obama will return to his first victory Iowa to officially start his General Election campaign with obvious symbolism.

Given Senator Obama campaigns skills at arranging the right endorsee at the right time and given uniquely sensitive position in American electoral history who do you think will be in Florida on Wed/Thu/Fri of this week?

4. Also wanted to add that it seemed to me that all of HRC's surrogates seem to have gotten quiet
I didn't see any on the talk show circuit today.

6. Gore
That would be a chillingly moving event if/when Gore endorses Obama in Florida. Eerie and yet amazing.

7. Terry McAuliffe
Will deny that President Gore exists
then in a surprise move ask Obama

to sign him on as a spokesman for the Obama campaign
as a Mathamaticaler strategistor who will count
the delegates and votes for the Obama campaign.

Mark Penn will then ask Obama if he can handle finances
and business contacts for the campaign.

That being the joke

I suspect Gore or Carter may jump in as was mentioned in European reports
last month. I bet it will be Gore, who knows, it might be both.

of Lieberman.

And then challenge Tweety to a duel.

14. You forgot Michael "Kramer" Richards.
If anybody could fix Obama's alleged "white voter" problem, it'd be him.

18. How sweet would that be?
Talk about a delicious irony. Although if I were Al Gore I would never want to set foot in that state again. I wonder if he's been there at all in the past 8 years.

I don't think Gore will endorse anyone before the 31st, per an article I read earlier.

21. You know.....
We have some Democratic Senators that are
10 times worse than any of our candidates that
have run this year and he is one of them.

I think the other Nelson is pretty bad also.


Bill Nelson a blood drive, that's some irony.

28. I'm torn between Gore and Carter
Gore would be great to have along, and Carter still calls Southern Georgia/Northern Florida home.

31. Probably Gore but it could be Carter as well.
Carter hasn't done a great job of keeping his preference a secret, though, so Obama may go with the bigger surprise.
