Gallup: Obama Leads Clinton by 16%
In case you forgot the primary race is still ongoing, the newest Gallup tracking poll shows Obama with a whopping 1116% lead over Clinton:
Obama's previous largest lead was 11 percentage points, in May 15-17 and April 12-14 polling. His widening lead over Clinton has been evident in each of the last three days of tracking, after the two had been more closely matched earlier in the month.
75,000 Oregonians say "Yes, We Can"
I am so proud of my home state (where my sister just gave birth to my darling new niece, Madelyn Mey). Barack Obama drew a record crowd of 75,000 to his rally on the waterfront in Portland.
The sea of heads stretches for half a mile along the grassy embankment, while others watch from kayaks and power boats bobbing on the Willamette River. More hug the rails of the steel bridge that stretches across the water and crowds are even watching from jetties on the opposite shore.
Here's a video to show you the mind-boggling number of people that turned out:

Right Wing Nut Gets Owned on Hardball
After watching this clip, in which Chris Matthews destroys a loud-mouthed rightwing talking head, makes me so very hopeful for the Democrat's chances in the fall. If this is all they got, the Republican party is going to be decimated.

Video of John Edwards Obama Endorsement Speech
Go John Edwards! I think the timing of his endorsement is fantastic. It helps mute any little press coverage of Hillary's meaningless WV win.

NARAL Pro-Choice America Endorses Obama
This is quite a nice coup for Obama. Today the national NARAL PAC, NARAL Pro-Choice America, endorsed Obama:
Today, NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC is proud to endorse Sen. Barack Obama for president. Sen. Obama has been a strong advocate for a woman's right to choose throughout his career in public office. He steadfastly supports and defends a woman's right to make the most personal, private decisions regarding her reproductive health without interference from government or politicians.
Sen. Obama has been a leader on this issue in the United States Senate. Since joining the Senate in 2005, he has worked to unite Americans on both side of this debate behind commonsense, common-ground ways to prevent unintended pregnancy. Sen. Obama supports legislation to provide our teens with comprehensive sex education, prevent pharmacies from denying women access to their legal birth-control prescriptions, and increase access to family-planning services.
We are confident that Barack Obama is the candidate of the future. Americans are tired of the divisive politics of the last eight years, and will unite behind Obama in the fall. We look forward to working with a pro-choice Obama White House in January.
