Why Hillary Clinton Thinks the Race Should Go On
This is a hilarious bit from SNL last night with Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton. Thanks to my stepdad for highlighting it.
The best bit: "My supporters are racist." Close runner-up: "I have no ethical standards."

Obama Nets 9 Supers for the Day
As of now, Obama has gained 9 superdelegates today.
Here's the latest:
Virginia's Joe Johnson caps Obama's best superdelegate day, a gain of nine, including Payne's switch, an Obama aide says.
Obama's now ahead in our superdelegate count, not a tremendously meaningful measure, but another sign of the coalescing party.

Superdelegates Pouring In
Here's some more from today (added to the ones I posted earlier):
A New Mexico add-on, who'd been chosen over the objections of Clinton backers in that state, goes with Obama, as the trickle speeds up to something more like a steady flow.
The Obama campaign announced the backing of Hawaii Congresswoman Mazie Hirono Endorses Barack Obama.
Wilber Lee Jeffcoat, the Democratic Party Vice Chair in South Carolina and superdelegate endorses Barack Obama.Vernon Watkins of California tells the AP he's going with Obama. "The election is over, everybody knows that. Obama has won," he said.

Rasmussen Calls the Race for Obama
Nice:
Rasmussen Reports will soon end our daily tracking of the Democratic race and focus exclusively on the general election competition between Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama. Barring something totally unforeseen, that is the choice American voters will have before them in November. While we have not firmly decided upon a final day for tracking the Democratic race, it is coming soon.

Panetta Calls for Clinton to Concede
Former Clinton White House chief of staff Leon Panetta said today:
It's pretty clear unless there's a bolt of lightning, Barack Obama is likely to win the Democratic nomination. She's put up a good fight and put up a good race, but I think there's a time now where she needs to concede and unify the party.
If she remains in the race until the final primary on June 3, Panetta says:
I guess what I would do if she is going to do that is warn them they should remain on issues, they shouldn’t engage in personal attacks... Whether the winner wins will depend an awful lot on how the loser loses.
