John Murtha, a prominent anti-war democrat, has endorsed Hillary Clinton. Representative Murtha of Pennsylvania is something of a lieutenant to Majority Speaker Pelosi and is also a coveted superdelegate.

I have complained frequently that the liberal blogs (mydd, dkos, huffpo, tpm, etc…) and the media have shown overwhelmingly favorable and decidedly pro-Obama blogging/reporting.

Hillary Clinton has turned her flagging campaign around in Texas and Ohio. Results from the Texas primary and from Ohio show Clinton will win the two states. Clinton’s Texas win was very close only 3% lead over Obama. I know I predicted it would be a 5 point lead but that wasn’t too far [...]

Texas Superdelegate watch
New poll shows Obama up 11 points in Wisconsin
Obama mysteriously got zero votes in 80 heavily african-american districs in New York. There’s no evidence of foul play and the official tallies are under way. This may swing a few delegates Barack’s way.
The Chronicle rounds up Clinton and Obama’s views on hot [...]
Since the news media washed this out in under a day I thought it deserved some more attention! :)
State Democratic Chairman Brian Colon made the announcement after a marathon hand count of 17,000 provisional ballots that had to be given to voters on Feb. 5 because of long lines and a shortage of ballots. [...]
