The Clintons have played at a potentially devastating politics that could drive a wedge between Americans, black and white. I am asking for your help in fighting those disruptive tactics for this week's primary election.

A compromise Democratic Party decision tomorrow on how to allocate the Mich. and Fl. delegates will not be a setback for Clinton. On the contrary, it will give her the fodder she needs to continue her campaign.

It's time for uncommitted superdelegates to stop their dithering, hop off the fence and officially bring this nominating process to an end. Hillary has earned the right to stay in the race until the bitter end. So it's up to the superdelegates to accelerate the bitter end. And it's up to us to pressure them to do exactly that. Read More Hillary Clinton's Defeat: A Historic Triumph The greatest triumph of Clinton's campaign is the example she has set for the next generation. And not just for young women; her dedication, perseverance, and indefatigable drive make her a role model for young men as well. Read More

The word is consensus. It is hard to achieve. But then it's even harder to beat.

In the VIP line at the rally were those who had caucused for Edwards, Kucinich, Richardson, Biden and Dodd. There were Iowans for all the Democratic candidates. Except one. And there were no Republicans.

All but one of the Democrats I talked to at the courthouse voted for Clinton. All of them will vote for the Democratic Party ticket in November, they said, even if Obama is the nominee.

Childers' stunning victory will send shockwaves through the House. Analysts predict additional GOP retirements. And it's not the end of the pain. There's a contested Miss. Senate race in November.

"I voted for Jesse Helms and was proud to do it. I voted for Fared Ali... and he's as Black as any man I ever seen... It comes down to if they're gonna do the right thing for the country."

At this point so-called private commitments on the part of superdelegates mean nothing. Clinton's candidacy can no longer pretend to be about the primaries. Without super commitments, she is not in the race.

Clinton superdelegates on the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee seem to contradict the Clinton campaign stance on the seating of the Michigan delegation.

Hillary has gone from pandering to panhandling in a panic. Contribute if you want. Just make that check out to the "Hillary Clinton for Irrelevant" campaign... or the "Hindenburg Landing Party Fund."

The press conference was marked by sad Clintonian parsing. The primary is close, depending on how you define "close." Gas prices are a white issue. African-Americans, as a mass, are Obama's "passionate supporters."

A senior campaign official and Clinton confidante has told me that there will be a Democratic nominee by June 15. He could not bring himself to say the words "Hillary will drop out by June 15," but that is clearly what he meant.

The Limbaugh Effect was real, reducing Obama's margin of victory in North Carolina and easily providing enough votes to give Clinton her 23,000-vote margin in Indiana.

A gas tax holiday? That's not change. Clinton's judgment waxes and wanes like the FM signal on a long-distance drive. She has the working-class vote. Why is she toiling overtime to abase herself before it?
