I've been out of it for the past week.  I completely missed following the results of the Democratic primary in Pennsylvania.  I woke up Wednesday morning to hear that Clinton had won.  Don't count Obama out yet though.  (Interestingly I ended up in Pittsburgh at the end of the week.)

Where No Other Democratic Leader Has Dared Go | The Trail | washingtonpost.com

http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-tr...

Sen. Patrick Leahy has gone where no Democratic leader has dared go. It's time, the Vermont senator said, for Hillary Clinton to get out of the presidential race. "She ought to withdraw and she ought to be backing Senator Obama," he told Vermont Public Radio.

D.C. Church Wrinkles Clinton On Wright - Politics News Story - WRC | Washington

http://www.nbc4.com/politics/15714089...

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton disparaged the Rev. Jeremiah Wright on Tuesday and told a conservative newspaper publisher, and later a news conference, that she would not not have been a member of a church whose leader offered fiery opinions such as those by Wright. But it turns out that the leader of the church Clinton attended for eight years when her husband was president has leaped into the debate -- on the side of Wright.

I snipped this from the new Obama Girl video that I saw on Electronic Village.  The video urges Clinton to concede the nomination.  If you agree, Electronic Village is encouraging you to do the following:

1. Sign the petition.


2. Call the Democratic National Committee on (202) 863-8000 to express your opinion.


3. Contact the Democratic National Committee with a link to the petition to let them know your position on this matter.


4. Contact superdelegates that have not committed
   
5. Contact Hillary Clinton directly with a request for her to concede the nomination in the interests of party unity and our nation's future.

Good quotes from article:

"...white people know that, if they were in the shoes of African-Americans, they'd find a lot to be angry about - and so they wait for the next eruption of the angry black man or woman."

"And why would so many Americans continue to be so wary of Barack Obama - himself a living testament to the fact that, in this country, opportunity is no longer "systematically constricted" - as if they're waiting for him to morph into Stokely Carmichael or Huey Newton or H. Rap Brown?"

Ruben Navarrette Jr.: Why Obama's worldview varies from his ex-pastor's - San Jose Mercury News

http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_8668584...

SAN DIEGO - Sen. Barack Obama wrote and delivered a brilliant and brave speech that not only addressed the controversy involving his former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, but also kicked off a national conversation - not just about race (been there, done that), but about how members of different generations view race differently. As Obama reminded us from Philadelphia, how you see the world isn't just influenced by the color of your skin but by the year of your birth.

Rapper DMX hasn't heard of Obama - The Daily Voice - Black America's Daily News Source

http://thedailyvoice.com/voice/2008/0...

This one is a little hard for us to believe. XXL magazine sat down with the rapper DMX recently, and he told the interviewer that he had never heard of Barack Obama. In the interview, which took place in January of 2008, the New York-based recording artist sounds surprised to learn there's a black man running for president.

This is unbelievable to me.

NPR: Obama Campaign Skewers Clinton E-mail Statement

http://www.npr.org/blogs/news/2008/03...

Wednesday morning, the Clinton campaign sent reporters and bloggers covering the campaign a statement that consisted of questions and comments under the title of "Keystone Test: Obama Losing Ground." The Obama campaign's communications department decided to annotate those questions and comments with some comments of their own... and boy, they held nothing back.

The annotations are hilarious.

Found in Madame Tussauds Washington, DC location. Not a bad likeness. This photo is from a coworker who visited Madame Tussauds over the weekend.

For some reason, wax statues creep me out. Probably from visiting the Royal London Wax Museum when I was a kid.
