Very short diary. I'll try to add something more later. Just want to get this out.

Barack Obama has release their newest ad, which takes Hillary Clinton to task (big time) for being so cushy with Lobbyists and "saying "they are people too"."

Ouch. And He's got enough $$$ from REAL people to put on a full, ONE MINUTE ad.

Ouch.

Not only are Obama's numbers holding up, they're actually growing during HRC's jump-the-bitter-shark moment.

Via Gallup:

PRINCETON, NJ -- Barack Obama, who has come under attack by his presidential rivals for describing small-town voters as "bitter," seems to be weathering the storm to this point as far as voters are concerned. He maintains a 10 percentage point lead over Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination, 50% to 40%, according to the latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking.

Sorry it's a shot diary (more of an announcement).

Hillary might have gotten former Pittsburgh Mayor Sophie Masloff to endorse her today, but there is a wave of endorsements set to endorse Barack Obama.

11 in total.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer:

A bevy of city and state elected officials - specifically, six City Councilmembers, three state represenatives and two state senators - are expected to endorse Barack Obama for president at 2 p.m. today in City Hall.

"In addition to voicing support for their preferred Democratic candidate, this endorsement event is meant to balance the endorsements of other political leaders in the city and state, including Mayor Nutter and Governor Rendell," stated a press release announcing the event.

Nutter and Rendell are backing Hillary Rodham Clinton in Pennsylvania's April 22 primary.

More below the fold...

How many lies does it take before a presidential candidate is no longer viable for the presidency?

1?
2?
12??????

1. Hillary Lied about her being against the Columbia Trade Deal:

Clinton Aide Met on Trade Deal:

Hillary Clinton's chief campaign strategist met with Colombia's ambassador to the U.S. on Monday to discuss a bilateral free-trade agreement, a pact the presidential candidate opposes.

Clinton's top aide pushing trade deal she claims to oppose:

This is a pretty remarkable act of hypocrisy: during the past month, Hillary Clinton has repeatedly and falsely attacked Barack Obama on NAFTA, claiming that his top economic adviser told the Canadian government to ignore Obama's anti-NAFTA rhetoric. Now her chief strategist is working with the Colombian government to enact a trade deal she claims to oppose?

It's unbelievable -- literally.

More below the fold....

Well, this is interesting.

Via TPM:

A new poll from Fox News, the first major poll taken since Barack Obama's big speech on race relations, shows that the effect of the Jeremiah Wright flap might not be so bad after all.

By a 57%-24% margin, registered votes do not believe that Obama shares Wright's controversial views. The internals show only 17% of Democrats saying Obama shares Wright's ideas, along with 20% of independents and 36% of Republicans.

And why wait?

John Aravosis over at AmericaBlog isn't happy, like many Democrats aren't, with Hillary Clinton's campagin tactics.

In response to this...

From Open Left:

Hillary Clinton told reporters that both she and the presumptive Republican nominee John McCain offer the experience to be ready to tackle any crisis facing the country under their watch, but Barack Obama simply offers more rhetoric. "I think you'll be able to imagine many things Senator McCain will be able to say," she said. "He's never been the president, but he will put forth his lifetime of experience. I will put forth my lifetime of experience. Senator Obama will put forth a speech he made in 2002."

... John has made an ominous threat. What I want to know, besides what he has on Hillary Clinton, is why is he waiting?

Barack Obama has answered Hillary's fear-mongering ad with one that plays off her theme and boy does he take it up a notch.

"When that call gets answered, shouldn't the president be the one -- the only one -- who had judgment and courage to oppose the Iraq War from the start?"

View video over at TPM:

Video will be upload as soon as it's available on Youtube. Code from TPM doesn't work here.

Well, smell you Hillary. Smell you.

The new Quinnipiac poll in Pennsylvania shows Hillary Clinton has lost her lead over Barack Obama.

Here are the numbers, compared to the previous poll from just two weeks ago:

Clinton 49% (-3)
Obama 43% (+7)

Eric Kleefeld over at TPM:

Hillary's roadmap to the nomination includes wins in Texas and Ohio, followed by a big Pennsylvania win seven weeks later. But these polls shows that Pennsylvania — the last big Northeastern state not to have voted — could suddenly be a tough race by itself.

Hillary is now only up by 4 points in Ohio, according to a new Public Policy Polling Poll and the president of the polling firm says, "Hillary Clinton is in big trouble."

Via TPM:

A new poll from Public Policy Polling (D) shows the Ohio primary to be at its narrowest margin yet from any pollster. Hillary Clinton still has the lead, but it's a bare 50%-46% edge over Barack Obama.

"Hillary Clinton is in big trouble," said Dean Debnam, president of PPP, in the polling memo. "As recently as a week ago many polls in the state were showing her with around a 20 point lead. The race is trending heavily toward Obama and time is on his side with another eight day before the voting."

From the internals: Hillary leads 55%-42% among women, while Obama leads 51%-45% with men. Hillary leads 56%-40% among core Democrats, while Obama is ahead 64%-33% with independents and 80%-13% among crossover Republicans.

The snow is now balling.

AP: Clinton Candidact "Fading"

The AP reports that this is now Obama's race to lose since Clinton is "fading":

Barack Obama cruised past a fading Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Wisconsin primary and Hawaii caucuses Tuesday night, gaining the upper hand in a Democratic presidential race for the ages.

The twin triumphs made 10 straight for Obama, and left the former first lady in desperate need of a comeback in a race she long commanded as front-runner.

In just one week, Barack Obama has cut Hillary Clinton's 17 point lead in Ohio down to 9.

Clinton 52% (-4)
Obama 43% (+4)
