AP reports that Obama has won the primary in Illinois.

AP is reporting that Obama has won Georgia's primary.

Obama has cast his vote in Chicago, and unsurprisingly, he voted for himself.

Just in time, Obama wins the hard-sought Dave Matthews endorsement. This after he single-handedly reunited the Grateful Dead. And of course, the nod from American Apparel.

Radar's media man, Charles Kaiser, reports that "unofficially, the New Yorker likes Obama."

Obama will be getting his voice out through fifteen TV interviews today. Meanwhile, campaign surrogates are hitting radio stations across the country.

Barack Obama will be in his home state of Illinois today. Click here to see where the other candidates will be.

If Obama is able to maintain his high margin of black voters, the delegate count from those districts could resemble winning a series of small states.

The expat vote: Obama makes a strong early showing with Democrats abroad, particularly those in his former home of Jakarta.

Obamicans? Some young Republicans are finding themselves torn between Barack Obama and John McCain.

Lowered Expectations: Obama and Clinton work to downplay a possible loss on Super Tuesday.

Back to Boston: Obama holds a Massachusetts rally with Senator John Kerry.

NOW has launched an attack on Obama's voting record on abortion, similar to one the did before the New Hampshire caucus:

The e-mail from Rosemary J. Dempsey, president of the Connecticut National Organization for Women, told members that Obama's record during his time in the Illinois Senate included several instances in which he voted "present" instead of yes or no on abortion-related legislation.

Obama has discovered the magic touch of Camelot since his endorsement by Ted Kennedy:

"The Kennedy endorsement was a 12 on a scale of one to 10," said former senator Thomas A. Daschle (S.D.), an Obama supporter who courted Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (Mass.) for months. "It will be written as one of the biggest turning points in the campaign."

Obama packed 17,000 into a Hartford rally last night as Democratic voters look to turn out in record numbers across Connecticut:

The line in downtown Hartford started forming at 2:45 p.m., then snaked around the block. Saying the building was at capacity, the fire marshal closed off admission with about 100 people waiting in the lobby.

The Black Eyed Peas are doing their part to spread Obama's message, spreading a sample of one of his speeches into a smorgasbord of singer-celebrity appearances. Watch the video here:

I posted the following a few minutes ago, but it has not shown up after several refreshes of my browser, so I'm posting again. Sorry if it shows up twice, but I think this is too important to let go by:

The president of the Connecticut National Organization for Women is a Hillary Clinton supporter and is distorting Obama's voting record on abortion-related legislation for partisan purposes.

Senator Obama received the following scores on NARAL Pro-Choice America's Congressional Record on Choice:
2007: 100 percent 2006: 100 percent 2005: 100 percent

See:
http://www.prochoiceamerica.org/elections/statements/obama.html

And here is part of a statement from NARAL supporting and defending Senator Obama's voting record on pro-choice issues:

"NARAL Pro-Choice America will continue to support pro-choice candidates and defend them all against attacks. We can only hope that in the future, we, as a unified pro-choice community, will be defending against anti-choice politicians, not one another.

See:
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/1/25/124741/716/394/443028
or do a Google search on "NARAL support Obama."

And if anyone doubts Senator Obama's commitment to this issue, please see:

You will be hard-pressed to find anyone more committed to reproductive rights than Senator Obama. Watch the speech and see.

NOW is becoming the PETA of women's rights: I am completely in favor of equal rights and of animal rights. But these organizations make it hard to admit publicly, just as it must be hard to admit to being a Christian when most people think of Robertson or Falwell or Haggard when you say Christian. A NOW representative called Kennedy's endorsement of Obama "the ultimate betrayal". Wow: they must not have liked having a shred of credibility left.

Si, podemos.

This is a simple decision to me - Move forward or rehash the past.

However, it is also a defining moment for womens political forces like NOW. If they really want Hillary then they will come out bring the energy and vote not only now but in November to get Hillary elected. They are going to have to mobilize in the same way Obama's team has mobilized. They had better be able to get the troops out. If they succeed in this then God Bless them.

Hillary might be fine, I prefer Obama 08.

Guys make sure you check out the article "The Intoxication of Inspiration" on the blogzine SAVAGE POLITICS (not related to Mike Savage) at www.savagepolitics.com. It is awesome......everyone should read it before voting.

Voting for a woman because you a woman is not very intelligent. Voting for a man because you are a man is not very intelligent.

dang, odin--must you really post the same story five times? And why the caps? Annoying and very bad Internet etiquette. It doesn't help make your case at all. Plus the article itself seems very ambivalent, correcting the mistaken impressions that several Hispanic voters seem to have about Obama's record.

I was thrilled to vote for Obama this morning.

For the last friggin' time a 'present' vote in IL doesn't mean you oppose or agree with a bill.

IT'S DIFFERENT HERE THAN IN CONGRESS!!!!!!

Stop it with the 'present' means you oppose something.

Get your facts straight or SHUT UP.
