Finally, some good news.
New Mexico Senator and superdelegate plans to throw his support behind the Land of Lincolner.
I won't lie. Today has been tough. AP has Clinton really moving ahead of Obama vs. McCain. PPP shows North Carolina Whites migrating to Clinton and Obama's once 25pnt lead cut in Half. Indiana isn't looking particularly promising with SUSA showing a formidable 9 point gap, and weakness in Independents on the rise. Obama has alot of holes to plug before the boat catches much water, starting with a Sock in Wright's Mouth. However, the math remains on our side and the magic number in terms of superdelegates is within reach.
Even if Hillary wins Indiana and comes within single digits in North Carolina, Obama can still win the nomination. The road to the white house won't be easy, but then again, is anything worth having ever easy?
I am not ready to give up.
The fight remains in front of us all. Obama can't be wished or hoped into the Oval Office. The forces of the Media, the GOP, and the establishment Dems are conspiring against Change. You are that change, have you done your part today?
The Deadline is May 5th for those Obama Organizing Fellows among us.

Now, from the Senator's Statement
"Today, I am announcing my support for Barack Obama for president and declaring my intention to vote for him at the Democratic convention.
"Our nation faces a daunting number of critical challenges: reasserting America’s leadership in the world, meeting our needs for energy independence, addressing global warming, making healthcare accessible and affordable, positioning our economy to effectively compete globally, and extricating ourselves from the war in Iraq, to name a few.
"To make progress, we must rise above the partisanship and the issues that divide us to find common ground. We must move the country in a dramatically new direction.
"I strongly believe Barack Obama is best positioned to lead the nation in that new direction."
Senator Obama said, "I’m grateful today to have Senator Bingaman’s support. Senator Bingaman has been speaking out in the United States Senate on some of the most pressing issues of our time – saving our environment, fighting global warming, and making America energy independent. Senator Bingaman has been an important advocate in the energy debate, and has served the people of New Mexico for decades, giving voice to the issues that matter to families across the state. We are proud to have his support as we fight to bring about real change for families in New Mexico and across the country."
Senator Jeff Bingaman is the Chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. He has served in the United State Senate since 1982, and previously served as New Mexico Attorney General.
And now for something completely cool: Obama gets the Pink Floyd Endorsement
Roger Waters brought Coachella to a close with an epic two-set performance that included playing all of "Dark Side of the Moon" and unleashing a giant inflated pig into the night sky.
The pig, which was led above the crowd from lines held on the ground, displayed the words "Don't be led to the slaughter" and a cartoon of Uncle Sam wielding two bloody cleavers. The other side read "Fear builds walls."
The underside of the pig simply read "Obama" with a checked ballot box alongside.
