- Congressman John Lewis, a hero of the civil rights movement and Clinton backer, said yesterday that he would vote for Obama at the Democratic National Convention because of the wishes of his constituents. This is, as they say, a big deal. Still, it's more of an indicator of shifts in the party than a source of those shifts and it definitely does not halve Clinton's chances at the nomination.
- Obama picked up the support of the SEIU today as expected and also got the UFCW. National endorsements override any existing state-level ones.
- Mr. Vague Generalities, John McCain, doles out some not-so-straight talk on FISA.
- The DNC will reevaluate the nomination process after November. I should hope so.
- Former President Bush will endorse McCain.
- Finally, Clinton stumps with
murderous billionaireactor Ted Danson and actress Mary Steenburgen.
