I think he still needs a pick up of about 12, though that will happen as soon as the numbers start coming in from - what is it, Oregon and Montana?
Maxine Waters switched from HRC to Obama. Ouch.
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
According to AP:
Obama sealed his nomination based on primary elections, state Democratic caucuses and delegates' public declarations as well as support from 22 delegates and "superdelegates" who privately confirmed their intentions to The Associated Press. It takes 2,118 delegates to clinch the nomination at the convention in Denver this summer.
So it sounds like they have private confirmation from superdelegates.
I think Hilary will be conceding tonight, and is "open to VP." Though I think Barack would do better to take Edwards.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
More from the AP story:
Officials said she would concede Obama had the delegates to secure the Democratic nomination, effectively ending her bid to be the nation's first female president.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
South Dakota and Montana. And, yeah, they've been champing at the bit for that "clinched" headline all day, but it's a counting-in-advance kind of math.

Dude, the "private confirmation" business is SO this morning. She's confirmed and denied that story and the open to VP story at least twice since then. Skimmer.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I specifically made the distinction because of Marti Noxon's parking ticket song in "Once More With Feeling." Which I thought was very funny.
Oh, you're right! That was funny.
I did deal with my work email, and got a suspiciously grateful message from Work Nemesis. Hmm.

Yeah, the dKos thread is currently saying 11 delegates to go.
Tomorrow I'll get to work rebuilding my shell of defensive cynicism and pessimism, but right now I'm just happy. There's a diary on dKos from a Clinton supporter congratulating Obama. She mentioned Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman and MLK Jr...and I just started tearing up.

ION, I was watching an episode of Batman:Animated last night ('cuz you can just reach out and Tivo one if you're in the mood) and caught the one with the Mad Hatter. And I thought, "stealing from Alice in Wonderland is all well and good but why doesn't Batman have a Gorey rip-off hereo, huh?"

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
All good thoughts to your dad, Kat.
Maybe you could suggest a giant lawn tent for the area under the skylight, Hec. High enough, and it would provide cooling airflow beneath, as well. Worth a shot, I'd think.

Health~ma to your dad, Kat.
Dishes targeted to health-conscious consumers at popular chains such as Chili's, Taco Bell and Applebee's contained as much as twice the calories and eight times the grams of fat than the restaurants claimed in their published nutrition information, a Scripps Television Station investigation revealed.
