Remember Donnie McClurkin? He's the anti-gay gospel singer who performed at one of Obama's campaign events way back in October 2007.

Here's a small sample of comments and diaries from back then.

(h/t to Nate Silver)

Nebraska and Maine are the only two states to split their electoral votes by Congressional District, and Obama stands a good chance of winning an electoral vote from Nebraska's 2nd CD, which is comprised of Douglas County (where Omaha is located) and of Sarpy County.

There's been a real fear that the dangerous rhetoric from the McCain/Palin campaign could translate into dangerous actions. A few weeks ago, an Obama effigy was found burning from a tree on an Oregon university campus. A couple days ago in Ohio, a man proudly hung an Obama effigy from his tree. Also this past week, a non-partisan Pennsylvania blogger reporting at a McCain/Palin rally was kicked in the leg and sent to the ground.

Today an Obama campaign worker was assaulted in Wisconsin while she was canvassing.

Ted Stevens, who as we all know has been indicted by a federal grand jury on corruption charges, is now trailing Mark Begich by double digits.

Obama is leading McCain 48-39 in a PPP poll released today (crosstabs after the break). This is the largest lead he has had in the state and the first one that is outside the MoE.

Obama is obviously doing well in Michigan, but PPP also pegged him with a 11 point lead in neighboring Ohio. On the other hand, Rasmussen gives him only a +3 lead in Michigan and a -1 loss in Ohio. This is good news but there's still a long way to go!

In other polling news, Rasmussen's daily tracker has Obama with a national lead of 49-43 and Gallup has Obama with a slight lead of 46-43.

Credit for this goes to Eric Kleefield over at TPM.

By now we all know about the thumping that Travis Childers gave to Greg Davis in MS-01, a very conserative district that has a PVI rating of R+10. The NRCC funneled *$1.2 million*, while the shadowy Freedom's Watch threw in an estimated $400k and Greg Davis himself used almost $1 million.

The Republicans' entire strategy was to tie Childers with the "librul" Democratic establishment and they even used race-baiting guilt-by-association-by-association Rev. Wright smears.

How well did it work? Childers improved 3 pt. victory (in the first special election) to an 8 pt. thrashing in last night's runoff. Great news, huh? Think it can't get any better?

Think again.

I'm sick of everyone freaking out the past day or so here on dKos. Too many of you are acting like he is on the verge of losing the race, but the truth is Obama will win the nomination.

Sorry about the quick-fire diary, but according to Halperin:

The Obama campaign tells Stephanopoulos that "prominent Pennsylvania supporters" will switch their support from Clinton to Obama Thursday morning due to Clinton’s negativity.
