This diary is going to be quick and dirty, but the Tallahassee Democrat reports Rep. Allen Boyd, who voted "no" in November is switching to "YES" for this weekend's vote. It's also currently linked at TPM.
Rep. Boyd flips to yes.
I noticed several threads going on right now about possible running mates for Barack. I thought I'd make a general one for everyone to share their thoughts.

I was web surfing tonight and came across this Salon.com article by Walter Shapiro. Shapiro knocks down any Clinton claims to take it to the convention.
The New Math in Florida and Michigan
Follow me after the jump.
I know there's been a lot of fuss and anxiety about Hillary not conceding gracefully, and taking her case to the convention in Denver. It's not going to happen for a number of reasons. And even if she does, it really won't matter. Follow me after the bump.
This has been mentioned in several diaries before, but it's worth a repost, especially at a time we're all looking for good news. The Obama campaign COULD get seven new superdelegates before the weekend is out. It could even be more if any new endorsers come out of the woodwork. The seven include add-ons from four states to be selected Saturday & Sunday. The other two are for new DNC positions being elected Sunday in Hawaii.
I'm currently watching "Race for the White House" on MSNBC. And for the second day in a row, Rachel Maddow has said she thinks Hillary Clinton will take this all the way to the convention. I adore Rachel, but at times, she can be a bit of an alarmist.
The way I see it, Clinton will gracefully exit the race in one of three possible ways. She's not taking it to the convention. If there were any hint of her doing so, the superdelegates, including many of her own, would come out en masse for Obama.

The early exit polling information has begun to be released. This is what is sometimes known as the "boring edition".
The latest Zogby poll shows Obama with a one-point lead in Indiana. His lead in North Carolina is down to nine points.
The polls in Guam opened tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern. They close at 6 a.m. Eastern.
I used to consider Howard Fineman of Newsweek one of the best, fairest political reporters in the business. But since Tuesday night, I've noticed a change. I've put together a list of the questions pundits SHOULD be asking.
The MSM has been spinning and spinning about how Barack Obama can't win white working class voters, despite the fact he has in several states. Wisconsin anyone? Utah anyone? But in the efforts of equal treatment, I've come up with five questions for Hillary people should be asking, but aren't.
