      Campaign Carnage Casualty: Democrats' Chances

      (Newser) - Richard Cohen did not enjoy covering the 2008 Democratic primaries, and he writes in the Washington Post about everything he “loathed” about the race that “eroded the standing of both candidates”: The racism: Cohen is “stunned” that so many people came out to vote against a black man and calls the fact that they admitted it “frightening.” More »

      (Newser) - Hillary Clinton said today she was “open" to serving as Barack Obama’s running mate if it would help the party in November, the AP reports.

      Campaign Apologizes for Bill's 'Scumbag' Jab

      (Newser) - The Clinton campaign apologized last night for Bill’s description of a Vanity Fair reporter as “sleazy,” “slimy,” “a dishonest guy” and a “scumbag” in response to  a recent story about him in the magazine. "President Clinton was understandably upset about an outrageously unfair article," a Hillary rep said of Todd Purdum's piece, "but the language today was inappropriate and he wishes he had not used it."

      Daytime TV as Campaign Stop

      (Newser) - You know where they stand on gas prices, but what about pantsuits and family pets? Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and Barack Obama are making the rounds of daytime talk shows and celebrity gossipfests, courting "low-info" voters—those mostly white, working class, and undecided folks who haven't been paying much attention to the campaign. And besides pulling in millions more viewers than Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert, softer shows also go easier on guests, reports Newsweek . More »

      AP: Obama 'Effectively' Clinches Nomination

      (Newser) - The AP declared today that Barack Obama has “effectively clinched” the Democratic nomination, basing its projection in part on 15 private commitments from superdelegates. Adding to that a minimum 11 delegates Obama is poised to capture in the final two primaries today, the wire service concludes that the Chicagoan has tallied the required 2,118 delegates and “outlasted” Hillary Clinton.

      Obama's Press to Cherry-Pick Top Clintonites Under Way

      (Newser) - Perhaps just hours from securing the Democratic nomination, Barack Obama's campaign is moving to grab the best donors, advisers, and operatives from Hillary Clinton's team, the Wall Street Journal reports. Some are merely waiting for primary voting to end to make the jump; others, out of personal loyalty or sheer animosity, are waiting for approval from Clinton herself. More »

      Five Things to Watch in Montana ...

      (Newser) - Montana is shaping up to be a slam dunk for Barack Obama and a chance to head into the general election with some momentum, according to recent polls. But a surprise win by Hillary Clinton could give her the credibility she needs to sway superdelegates, writes Politico . Five things to watch: East vs. West: Clinton may be edging Obama out in the more rural east, and “if she starts cutting into his margins in the western part of the state, it could be closer,” says a pollster.

      ... And in S. Dakota

      (Newser) - Unlike most of this year's primaries, South Dakota is a genuine toss-up. Different polls have both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama leading by double digits. Politico focuses on things to watch for: Split time zones: The western half of the state is an hour behind the eastern half; results won't be revealed until all polls close at 8pm CT. A late night: Ballots are transported to and counted at county auditor's offices, some more than 2 hours from polling places. More »

      McAuliffe: Clinton Won't Concede Tonight

      (Newser) - The Clinton campaign strenuously denied an AP report today that Hillary Clinton will concede defeat in the Democratic delegate race tonight in New York. Unnamed "top advisers" tell AP she won't formally drop out or endorse her Democratic rival, but she will acknowledge Obama's delegate win, and her campaign will be effectively over. Clinton campaign chief Terry McAuliffe denied the report in a phone interview on CNN. More »

      Signs Point to Clinton Exit

      (Newser) - With the final primaries a day away, the press corps is following a trail of breadcrumbs that may lead to a quick departure by Hillary Clinton. Campaign staffers were urged to turn in all outstanding expense receipts by week’s end, the Atlantic reports. And advance staffers were told they’d be notified if events materialized after a speech Wednesday morning, ABC News reports. More »

      Most Unpledged Senators Will Go Obama Soon

      (Newser) - "Most” of the Senate’s 17 uncommitted Democrats will endorse Barack Obama this week, sources tell CNN, though Majority Leader Harry Reid will remain neutral until Hillary Clinton officially exits. Obama officials had been “pressing” for earlier endorsements, but colleagues "don’t want to pound Hillary Clinton, and there is a sense she should be given a grace period.” More »

      Puerto Rico: Clinton's Vacation From Reality

      (Newser) - Hillary Clinton enjoyed a final vacation from reality this weekend, Mike Madden writes in Salon. Her stay in Puerto Rico—including riding a float loaded with giant speakers blaring salsa and reggaeton—“couldn’t possibly have been the most efficient use of” time for a fighting candidate: rather, it was a final ego trip and staff getaway.

      Is Bill Losing His Grip?

      (Newser) - As Hillary’s campaign staggers to a close, a professional Clinton-watcher shines the flashlight back into a familiar face—her husband’s. Bill has had a checkered ex-presidency, Todd Purdum reports in Vanity Fair , as a phalanx of former aides spills about girlfriends (including, maybe, Walter Mondale’s daughter), cash, "cavernous narcissism," and a coterie of dubious friends and associates.

      All Eyes on Clinton, Who's Hanging Tough

      (Newser) - As campaign watchers strain to suss out Hillary Clinton’s endgame, the candidate’s not helping much—winking that she’ll stay in even as she lets some employees go. Asked about her plans after tomorrow’s last-in-the-country primaries, she said yesterday, “I’m sort of a day-at-a-time person,” “my political obituary has yet to be written” and “it is not over 'til it’s over.” More »

      Obama to Offer Clinton a 'Graceful Exit'

      (Newser) - As Hillary Clinton's chances of winning the Democratic nomination wane, Barack Obama's camp is readying a consolation prize for the loser-apparent, the Daily Telegraph reports. In a "negotiated surrender," Clinton will likely be offered a cabinet post or the chance to lead a Senate charge on health care, an issue near and dear to her heart for more than a decade. More »

      (Newser) - Hillary Clinton was projected to win the Puerto Rico primary by a wide margin today as polls closed, but turnout was estimated to be lower than the 700,000 that Bill Clinton said would support her emphasis on the popular vote. Hillary, Bill, and Chelsea Clinton had spent a combined 15 days campaigning in the primary once seen as a footnote, MSNBC reports. More »

      5 Things to Watch in Puerto Rico

      (Newser) - Hillary Clinton is banking on a sizable victory today in Puerto Rico to bolster her argument that she’s received more votes than Barack Obama and is a stronger draw for Latinos. Key points to keep an eye on: The second wave: While many Puerto Ricans sleep in, it's going to be clear by 1pm whether there will be a big turnout. And polls are open til 3pm. The battle for San Juan: Puerto Rico's biggest urban district represents Obama's best chance, but Clinton has campaigned vigorously. More »

      A Call for a Clinton Speech on Sexism

      (Newser) - The time is ripe for Hillary Clinton to speak out on gender discrimination openly and honestly, writes Anna Holmes in the New York Times . After she ends her bid for the White House, such a move wouldn’t be called a political stunt, and would afford her the opportunity “to speak with courage and conviction,” as Barack Obama did in his much-admired speech about race.

      Dems Put Spotlight on Puerto Rico

      (Newser) - Today’s Democratic primary in Puerto Rico will bring the island the national attention many residents seek—but not for the right cause. Puerto Ricans are less excited about the Democratic presidential candiates—neither of whom will they get to vote for in November—than the perennial issue of how to resolve their not-quite-statehood, the Boston Globe reports. And some are angry that the government is spending $2.5 million on the primary, rather than the usual caucuses. More »
