It's all happening right nowTuesday, June 03, 2008 by Dave Winer. Superdelegates are announcing for Obama. Calif Senator Diane Feinstein says it's time for Clinton to quit. (She's a Clinton supporter.) AP has a story saying she will do that, but it's being denied by Clinton officials. I know this sounds like an ad, but it's all there on NewsJunk this morning. I'm watching it unfold as I'm improving the code. Marc Ambinder: "One very senior Democrat who has not endorsed Obama advises the Clinton campaign to divert the campaign's charter from New York to Minnesota today, to join Sen. Obama on stage." AP calls it for Obama. "The first black candidate ever to lead his party into a fall campaign for the White House." Brief editorial. |
