  newser | king5.com | Mar 9, 08 7:30 AM CDT
  
  A teenager who supports Barack Obama was stunned to see herself in the controversial "red phone" advertisement for the Hillary Clinton campaign. The spot that helped give Hillary a boost before the last primaries uses stock footage of a sleeping child that the teen made as an extra years ago. It asks viewers who they would prefer answer a pre-dawn emergency phone call to the White House. The trouble is, the teen would rather see Obama answer the phone—and hopes to vote for him in the general election. More »

  newser | The Hill | Feb 27, 08 12:39 PM CST
  
  House Democrats who support Hillary Clinton appear to be rejecting calls to switch their support to Barack Obama if circumstances give the super delegates the deciding votes, the Hill reports. Despite charges that it would be anti-democratic to defy voters in their home states, many who talked to the Hill say they won't budge—with one member adding that the only way he wouldn’t vote for Clinton is if she died.

  newser | Time | Feb 20, 08 8:13 AM CST
  
  Barack Obama's low support among Asian-Americans is sparking cries of racism, Time reports. "On a gut level my reaction is that at least some Asian-Americans are uncomfortable voting for a black candidate," one analyst said.

- Clinton's Texas Roots—Are They Too Old?
  
  newser | Washington Post | Feb 18, 08 7:30 PM CST
  
  Hillary Clinton's deep Texan ties may win her next month's primary, but only if young voters feel the same bond, the Washington Post reports. Her romance with the state dates back 35 years and has won her a base “broader than in any other state that I can think of," said Clinton ally Henry Cisneros. But Obama is aiming to entice her young Latino supporters and may benefit from the state's muddled primary/caucus mix. More »

John Lewis, a Georgia Democrat who carries great influence in Congress, says he's now tilting toward Barack Obama. Another Georgia Democrat, David Scott, already switched, the AP reports. “Something is happening in America," Lewis said, "and people are prepared and ready to make that great leap.” More »
