We’ll hear from David Bonior about his support for Obama. He’s a former Congressman fromMichigan
THE JUICY NEWS
Republican Congressman Vito Fossella says he won’t resign just because he's been cheating on his wife and keeping a mistress and bastard child a secret for years. Democrats are still making plans to capture his seat.
Just how many documented Republican scandals have there been? From Daily Kos’ dkosopedia, here is the whole list.
FROM THE ENDLESS CAMPAIGN
Friends of Hillary Clinton say she would fight for the VP spot. The two Democratic campaigns are "not talking" about a campaign debt deal in which Obama's campaign could pay off Hillary's astronomical debts.
The latest oops moment came from Hillary operative Terry McAuliffe on Meet the Press with Tim Russert. McAuliffe suggested that his dad and Big Russ, Russert's dad, were probably drinking scotch together in heaven right now. Watch it here.
To keep it even, here’s the video of Obama saying he's visited 57 states. We think he meant 47, but maybe he has some expansionist plans.
Harry Reid is doing damage control for Hillary Clinton. She meant no harm when she said Barack Obama's support among "hard-working Americans – white Americans" was weakening.
Saying what everyone else is too, but in a much better way, here’s comedian Will Durst on why “it's over for Clinton.”

Who even knew there was a dkosopedia. While we’re at it there is also dickipedia
and even conservapedia which says that dinosaurs are "believed to be extinct" and were "created on day 6."
We'll discuss the inordinate interest that people have with sex controversies and the equally inordinate number of Republicans involved therein.

Hillary's Debt
Lionel. We, the hoards of $100 dollar donors to the Obama campaign, will be very disappointed if Hillary is allowed to hold us up for our contributions. It will upset us no end if we are forced to pay off Hillary's debt. Every time that there was a controversey or a primary loss, David Plouffe would send out an email to all of the Obama loyal: "Send another $50." I responded everytime.
Mark Penn has stepped aside from the day to day running of the Clinton campain, but, he is still owed about $10 million dollars and expects to be paid. Penn encouraged Hillary to run a very negative campaign and there are people that have been discouraged from voting because of his tactics.
I take pride in the fact that we, the proletariat, were able to provide our candidate with a larger war chest than Hillary's. If she knows that Obama will pay off her debt in the end, she may as well spend like a sailor for as long as she can.
