- The NY Times, which endorsed Clinton in February, today runs an editorial calling on superdelegates to settle the race now, rather than let it continue producing elections that are unable to change the status quo.
- It seems both candidates are raising money off of last night's contest. Clinton pulled in a reported $2.5 million, while Obama has sent out a mailer that argues his ability to close the gap in a state that was heavily favored for his opponent is a sign that he has almost locked this thing up.
- Indeed on this last point, Marc Ambinder pointed out last night that only one metric matters: money. "If she can't raise money off of her margin, then her supporters are resigned to her defeat. She needs money to continue. If she runs out of money, she won't be able to continue." Sam alluded to this last night as well and this would appear to be the metric to watch. Clinton campaign is currently in the red.
- Meanwhile, it seems that Obama, having weathered this contest, is beginning to shift to a more general election mode, coming out against John McCain in force.
- Obama will host a "state of the race" media call at 10 am today.
- And finally, to follow up on yesterday's question of turnout, the results appear to be about 2.3 million on the Democratic side. To repeat, John Kerry gained 2.9 million votes in the 2004 general election in Pennsylvania.
