Clinton delegate honcho tells The Page that his main argument when talking to supers is: "We don’t know enough about Senator Obama yet. We don’t need an October Surprise. And (the chance of) an October Surprise with Hillary is remote."

Also claims superdelegates (a/k/a: automatic delegates) are interested in the results of the last few contests "and thinking much more and much harder and in a much more focused way about the fall election. And that was not true pre-Ohio."

About the Democratic National Committee meeting on May 31 to resolve Florida and Michigan, says, "that’s something that we are sort of waiting on...The number needed for the nomination cannot be determined until those challenges are settled and resolved."

Another Pa Poll shows Obama closing the gap in Pa.  Last month Strategic Vision had Hillary up by 18 points.

Strategic Vision:

Obama Narrows the Gap in Pennsylvania
Political Wire got an advance look at a new Strategic Vision poll in Pennsylvania that shows Sen. Hillary Clinton leading Sen. Barack Obama by eight points, 49% to 41%. This is a dramatic change from last month's poll that found Clinton leading by 18 points.

In a general election match-up, Clinton leads McCain 47% to 41%; McCain leads Obama 47% to 42%.

The poll has a margin of error of +/- 3%.

What's up with Hillary lately?  Is she still missing sleep?  Here's another misstatement.  Not as bad as Bosnia but you think that she would have learned a lesson.  If this is how she is going to govern if elected - we are in deep trouble  

Hillary claimed that she misspoke about Bosnia but then said that she was the First First Lady to fly into a combat zone.  Wrong again!

Yesterday, Hillary Clinton explained how she "misspoke" about a story she's told several times over the past four months, that of avoiding sniper fire on a 1996 trip to Bosnia. (I already mentioned how reporters were mocking the Sinbad story back in Iowa.)

But while discussing the issue at a Pennsylvania news conference, Clinton added another inaccuracy to the Bosnia story.

From today's Washington Post:

   Questioned about this speech yesterday while campaigning in Pennsylvania, Clinton said that she remembered being told by the military and the Secret Service that "we were going into a war zone," adding: "I was the first first lady taken into a war zone since Eleanor Roosevelt.

CT-SEN: Major Union Dumps Lieberman, Endorses Lamont
By Will Menaker | bio

This is pretty big -- a major union which endorsed Joe Lieberman in the primary, Council 4 of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, has just announced that it's dropping its endorsement of Lieberman and throwing its support to Ned Lamont:

    Sal Luciano, the executive director of Council 4, announced the endorsement Sunday, saying that the union wants to see a congressional delegation able to stand up to the Bush administration.

    "Since the Aug. 8 primary, we paid close attention to the remarks of both men," Luciano said. "We saw Joe Lieberman moving closer and closer to Bush, while Ned Lamont held firm in his strong opposition to the direction Bush is taking us."

Council 4 represents 35,000 members and is the state's largest affiliate of the AFL-CIO.

Hillary and Bill instead of uniting the party are trying to split it.  They are not on the same page as Dean, the DNC or the netroots.  They are playing the old trianglization game. This time with their own party.  They just don't understand the the GOP came to power by respecting and using all of their constituency & organizations. Hillary is hoping to marginalize Dean (DNC) and split the blogesphere to come to power.

Nightline's interview with Kos on line now.

All in all I thought it was a very good interview with a few exceptions.  What the heck is Tapper trying to insinuate asking Kos about his finances and commenting about his new piano ...That was rude and uncalled for.  One other complaint - They just had to play "the scream" again.

They tried to play "gottcha" but failed miserably.  Kos is a great representative of this blog.  He is well spoken, affable and sincere.  I'm proud that he speaks for Kos.

I've included a couple of excerpts for your reading pleasure. Joe Lieberman's War
