The recent Democratic primary in Pennsylvania brought no closure to the never ending race to win the Democratic presidential nomination. Clinton won the primary with 55% of voters versus Obama's 45%. When will it stop? According to David Plouffe, Obama's campaign manager, Obama only needs under 300 delegates to receive the nomination, while Clinton would have to win 70% of all the future delegates to surpass him. The day after the primary, Obama played it nice when speaking to 7,000 supporters in Evanston, Indiana. He congratulated Clinton on her win in Pennsylvania and when the crowd started booing he affirmed, ""No, no," "She ran a terrific race." Does this imply that her race to the nomination is over, or was Obama simply saying that she ran a good race in Pennsylvania? After congratulating Clinton, Obama refrained from saying her name in his speech, neither with a positive nor negative connotation. Obama has once again begun focusing on the Republican opponent McCain, rather than further destroying the Democratic party. This is a very smart political move.
In other news, new endorsements for Obama include: Michael Moore and Sheryl Crow.
