Ricky Martin is a Puerto Rican favorite son and pop singer who rose to fame, first as a member of the Latin boy band Menudo, then as a solo artist since 1991. He has sold almost 40 million albums around the world with 21 top-ten hits on the U.S. Latin Charts, eight of which reached number one.

Today, Ricky Martin endorsed Hillary Clinton for president!

http://news.yahoo.com/...

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Pop star Ricky Martin is backing Hillary Rodham Clinton ahead of Puerto Rico's primary on Sunday. The Grammy-winning singer on Wednesday said Clinton has shown a commitment to the needs of the Hispanic community. Martin is one of the territory's top-selling artists, whose hits including "She Bangs" and "Livin' la Vida Loca."

This should help Hillary to get out the vote and rack up a big win in the June 1 contest.

On Keith Olbermann tonight, Obama used interesting language about Pastor Wrights' comments, indicating that he knew about the comments for at least several months. The comments date back to at least 2001 after the 9/11 attacks and Obama has been an active member of Pastor Wright's church for almost 20 years.

Also Obama keeps harping on how he "wasn't in the pew" when the comments were made. Does this mean he doesn't have to react to them if he doesn't hear them in person?

Finally on the Huffington Post today is Obama's most damaging comment,

TPM Election Central has polling data from last night showing a surge for HRC in Texas;

http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpoi...

one pollster argues that Hillary Clinton has in fact regained the momentum in the race. Here are the latest InsiderAdvantage numbers, compared to their previous poll from Monday 2/25:

Clinton 47 (+1)
Obama 43 (-4)

The internals show Hillary expanding her lead among Latinos, holding steady among whites, dropping slightly with women but making gains among men.

Among the large chorus of sexist and biased journalist/pundits/media types, Jon Alter has shown his true colors in a piece in the Newsweek March 3 issue:

http://www.newsweek.com/...

Withdrawing would be stupid if Hillary had a reasonable chance to win the nomination, but she doesn't.

Actually it is Jon Alter who is stupid (actually he is smart, but he is biased). There is no doubt that he is cheerleading for an Obama nomination, perhaps so that he can then trash Obama in the general election and help McCain get elected.

Below the fold are the reasons that the race will go on until at least late April.

Rasmussen has a new poll today of head-to-head national match ups vs. McCain:

http://rasmussenreports.com/...

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that John McCain has gained ground against Democratic frontrunner Barack Obama.

McCain 47
Clinton 44

McCain 46
Obama 43

This is Hillary's best performance in the poll in the last two weeks.

The national daily tracking polls from Rasumussen and Gallop show that Hillary is holding her own. Both of these including polling after the Wisconsin and Hawaii contests:

Gallup:
http://www.gallup.com/...

Clinton 45
Obama 44

The latest three-day average finds Clinton favored by 45% of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters and Obama by 44%. Gallup interviews from Feb. 19, the first day following Obama's strong win in Tuesday's Wisconsin primary, do not show an increase in Obama's support that some might have expected as a result. Clinton's technical one-percentage point lead is the first time she has been ahead of Obama in Gallup Daily Poll tracking since Feb. 9-11, although it is statistically indistinguishable from Obama's one-point lead in Gallup's Feb. 16-18 interviewing.

Rasmussen:
http://rasmussenreports.com/...

Obama 44
Clinton 41

This has closed from a 7-point difference two days ago.

Many of you will remember that the founder of this beloved web site, Markos, encouraged Michigan Democrats and Independents to crossover and vote for Mitt Romney in the Republican primary last month. This was based on two realities - first that the Michigan Democratic primary was a non-contest and second that a vote for Romney was actually a vote for the Democrats to get the White House.

http://www.dailykos.com/...

Next Tuesday, January 15th, Michigan will hold its primary. Michigan Democrats should vote for Mitt Romney, because if Mitt wins, Democrats win.

I suspect we are seeing the same effect based on the results of the Wisconsin primary. More below the fold.
