- Bill Richardson endorses Obama, bringing with him his legions of supporters... or not. The CW seems to be that this may signal a shift among superdelegates towards Obama, but I doubt it.
- The Politico brings out the big guns (Jim Vandehei and Mike Allen) to point out that, despite what you'd think from reading media coverage of the race, Clinton has only the slimmest chance of victory. If this gets picked up as the dominant narrative it could sink what little chance Clinton still has.
- TPM Muckraker looks into the Obama passport kerfluffle, and explains the circumstances surrounding the accessing of Clinton and McCain's files as well. More analysis and some unanswered questions from MSNBC's David Shuster here.
- In case it wasn't clear, the Florida and Michigan revotes are more dead than Dick Cheney's heart.
- Jamie Kirchik believes that all the talk about Obama's race speech is obscuring the real issue -- would he have nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Yes, really. Oh, and if the answer is no he has no business being president according to Kirchik. Never mind that there were probably other ways to demonstrate a heretofore unknown weapon than dropping it on two major metropolitan areas...
- The lottery for protest spaces at the DNC are over and everyone is happy except a group calling itself "recreate 68". If they really wanted to recreate 68, they shouldn't have a permit anyway, right?
- We've seen some dumb spin this race, but this is the dumbest I've seen in a good long while.
- I see John McCain's lips moving, but all I hear is Grover Norquist talking.
