Kudos to Al Giordano for giving me a heart warming lift today. Click thru for the best photo of the campaign season.

How do you know when your guy is the guy? Take a look at their shoes....

Adai Stevenson: a hole in the shoe is better than a hole in the head.

John McCain: I think I will wear my brand new $520 Ferragamo loafers

Barack Obama: Shoes, what shoes? I don't have time to think about my shoes.

Bob Novak said today in his column that he talked to ten Clinton superdelegates and that they all think that Obama will win.

Game over.

Over the past week, I talked to 10 superdelegates (including two U.S. senators) who are committed to Clinton. Each claimed that he would stick with her, but none could see how she could be nominated.

We are just playing this out so the all powerful, Clinton machine can save face for as long as feasibly possible...I wish the adults in the democratic party would put an end to everyone's misery.

What if Obama votes yes?

Last night at a family dinner with friends we were discussing the differences between myspace and facebook. Many parents don't know much about either. I was suprised that my son, who uses myspace, didn't know anything about facebook. Apparently it is used more by the older kids.

Anyway, my experience on my.barackobama.org made me practically the expert in the room on social networking sites. When I announced that I had joined groups on obama's facebook site, my son said "Who is Barack Obama?"

Well I couldn't believe it, given the time and attention I have dedicated to the Obama campaign over the past several weeks, I had apparently forgotten to mention my new found political love to my children.

So what should I tell my 14 year old son about Barack Obama?

At 2pm EST there are 76,000 donors to the Obama campaign and counting. Who knows how many more will join over the next 34 hours? As we countdown to the March 31st first quarter fundraising deadline, Obama supporters are not only donating money but they gathering in living rooms across America on Saturday afternoon to meet and greet each other.

And after a week of marginal press, there are two fantastic articles in the Nation and the Chicago Tribune that are worth a read.

And polls continue to look good as Obama climbs to and maintains 30 percent in many national primary polls. This is going to be a very good weekend.
Update: 3:22pm est 77,000 donors
Update: 4:39pm est 77,784 people who have donated
Update: 5:07pm est 78,017 donors
Update: 6:18pm est 78,365 donors
Update: 8:33pm est 78,892 donors
Update: 11:20pm est 79,397 people who donated money to Obama

I know that most people here hate Tweety Bird aka Chris Matthews but nevertheless you really should read this transcript of his show last night.

He nails the VP to the cross and lays out what most likely transpired in the days before, during, and immediately after the outing of Valarie Plame.

They theorize that for the most part Bush had no idea what Cheney was up to and VP wanted to keep it that way.

Its a full hour of Libby coverage on the 7pm show of Harball:

Polls continue to tighten in Maryland

No kidding, the races are tightening.

This Mason Dixon Poll has both O'Malley and Erhlich at 45%. That is the lowest number O'Malley has had in months. Ehrlich can't get past 45-47%, but he does have some momentum.

Cardin is still leading by 3%. Cardin 47% and Steele 44%.

9% undecided in both races.

They polled 24% african american, 33% republicans, and all were registered voters (not likely voters).

I am at a loss to explain this. There has been no gaff or extraordinary effort on either side.

Tradesports which I have never followed before this election cycle is finally catching up with the polls. They had O'Malley at 85-90% to win and he has dropped 25 percentage points over the last several days. BUT O'Malley still has much better odds than Ehrlich. If I am reading it right : 60% O'Malley and 40% Ehrlich.

Before I start let me say that I recognize SUSA may be an outlier and/or a bad poll. I looked for other crosstabs to compare and will keep looking but most sites require registration.

What is most interesting to me is not that the poll finds the senate race in a dead heat or that O'Malley is ahead by 6 points.

What I find interesting is looking at the cross tabs and seeing what groups are supporting what candidates. How are blacks polling? Whites? Independants? Young people? etc. Read More

The Committee of 10 is a group of Democratic African American Maryland State Senators who are trying to find a way out of the mess the Maryland Democratic Party has found itself in.

It seems to me it might have helped if they had spoken up earlier. Nevertheless this is where we are, having a very uncomfortable and public discussion about race and politics four weeks before the general.

Worried about a lack of diversity atop the Democratic statewide ticket this fall, Maryland's African-American state senators recently met privately with Martin O'Malley and Benjamin L. Cardin to plan ways of boosting support among black voters.
The private Sept. 27 meetings - including one with Maryland Democratic Party Chairman Terry Lierman - were called for shortly after the Sept. 12 primary by the state's 10 black senators, who call themselves the Committee of 10. Many say they are frustrated that both leading black candidates, Simms and Kweisi Mfume, lost in the Democratic primaries for attorney general and U.S. Senate, respectively.
