Have the remaining SDs lost faith in Clinton?
Obama continues to pick up new SD endorsements at a steady pace. Hillary does not. He's picked up 14 in the last week. She's picked up 1, I believe. He's narrowed the SD gap from approximately 180 to 33. At the rate things are going, he'll have more SDs than Hill by the time PA rolls around. So why is this happening? How come he picked up delegates after her win on 3/4 and she didn't? I think that SDs are looking at Hill's campaign with a jaundiced eye. She didn't win big enough on 3/4 to instill any confidence. Her campaign is still limping along. She keeps saying stuff guaranteed to make SDs uncomfortable, like her McCain comments, and the mixed messages about Obama for VP. And on top of that, I believe there's significant dislike for the Clintons among the SDs and the upper echelons of the dem party in general. Fear and dislike, and the fear is waning with her less than stellar performance in the primary.

If Obama wins MS today by a fair margin, as he's forecast to do, you'll see more SDs endorse him over the next few weeks. This is not good news for Hill.

1. The SD's must be a bunch of young, uninformed first time voters
who aren't real Democrats.

2. I will so cheer the day he pulls ahead in SDs
and I don't think that day is much more than a couple of weeks off.
