Political bits (Updated)
I'm guessing that John Edwards endorsement isn't coming.
(NYTimes) Obama Cutting Into Clinton’s Edge Among Superdelegates. ("Her Feb. 2 lead of 105 superdelegates over Mr. Obama has since been cut to 42 superdelegates.")
Later: I count at least 5 new superdelegates for Obama just today. Four here, plus Sen. Jay Rockefeller.
(MSNBC) Texas Republicans cross over to vote for Obama (I don't know about their estimate of 9%, but I'm hearing Republicans talk about voting for Obama. There's alot of anti-Clinton in Texas.)
Two Texas polls for what they're worth. Rasmussen has Obama +4 and Zogby (which has leaned Obama) has Obama +6. (Later: Belo Texas tracking poll, Obama +1, and ARG Obama +7.)
Later: Add the Fox poll. Ohio-Clinton +8, Texas-Obama +3.
(Politico) The Clinton campaign is sending out invitations to top fundraisers to meet in DC on March 11.
(FirstRead) "Obama campaign has bought two-minute blocks in every market in both Ohio and Texas on Monday." (That's HUGE money. There are 20 media markets in Texas alone.)
And, The Texas caucuses are going to be chaos. We've never actually had a primary vote that counted, so any kind of turnout at all is going to stress the system.
(McClatchy) Clinton aides threatened lawsuit over Texas caucuses, officials say.
(FWStarTelegram) "The source, who asked not to be identified, said Clinton's political director, Guy Cecil, had forcefully raised the possibility of a courtroom battle."
Later: A Texas political blog theorizes that the Clinton camp is raising the lawsuit threat only to try and delay the release of the caucus included delegate count.
(EDITED: I pulled all the links on the Clinton "red phone" ad up to this post.)

Clinton aides? The campaign does nothing without the support of the leader (HRC, McCrazy or OB)...Clinton ok'd the idea and the idea to publicize it to see what kind of reaction it gets...she obvsly will not go quietly...

Right. Not on something this bug, but, that's what the article says, so that's how I put it up.
