- Superdelegates Ask: Which Candidate Has the Coattails?
  
  Bloomberg | Mar 27, 08 9:38 AM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Ten of Pennsylvania's superdelegates have yet to back a Democratic presidential candidate ahead of the April 22 primary. And while Clinton is expected to win the balloting, Bloomberg writes, some—especially several freshman congressmen up for reelection—are concerned that her "high negatives" might inspire more Republicans to come out to vote against her, hurting their own chances.

  Politico | Mar 26, 08 11:12 AM CDT
  
  (Newser) - The top Senate Democrat says his party's presidential nomination will be wrapped up before the Aug. 25-28 convention. “It will be done,” majority leader Harry Reid declared of the race between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama—adding mysteriously, Politico reports, that he’d spoken to party chairman Howard Dean and that “things are being done.” More »
- Superdelegates Should Hold Superprimary: Tenn. Gov.
  
  Politico | Mar 26, 08 9:34 AM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Democrats should hold a superdelegate superprimary to settle the race before the summer, says Tennessee Gov.

  (Newser) - Hillary Clinton’s campaign is in debt despite a massive influx of donations last month, according to FEC filings. She raised $35 million in February, spent $31 million and ended up with $33 million—but most of it is reserved for the general election and the rest is owed. However, $5 million of that debt is to herself and need not be repaid. More »

  Politico | Mar 21, 08 5:06 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Barack Obama has sewn up the Democratic nomination, but the press refuses to report it, Politico’s Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen contend. "Reporters and editors love a close race — it’s more fun and it’s good for business," the veteran journalists write. They crunch the numbers every which way and conclude, "Even the Clinton campaign’s own best-case scenario has her finishing behind Obama." More »
