Looks as if Hillary Clinton is releasing staff.

Tom Vilsack, former Governor of Iowa states the following:
Tom Vilsack, the former Iowa governor and a national co-chairman of Clinton's campaign, said Sunday: "It does appear to be pretty clear that Senator Obama is going to be the nominee. After Tuesday's contests, she needs to acknowledge that he's going to be the nominee and quickly get behind him."
Also, this from Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schulz (D-FL):
"It would be most beneficial if we resolved this nomination sooner rather than later," said U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, a high-profile superdelegate who backs Clinton. "The more time we have to get through a general-election period and the more time we have to prepare in advance of the convention, the better."

Hillary is hoping for "switches" from Barack Obama.
Ken Vogel reports that in a press conference before taking off from San Juan, Hillary Clinton reiterated Terry McAuliffe's suggestion that her campaign might court Obama's superdelegates.
“One thing about superdelegates is that they can change their minds,” she said, adding that a superdelegate on board the plane had committed to her, switched to Obama and then back to her.
Her point — that superdelegates aren't locked into their choices — is a technically valid reason to stay in after Obama has locked up a majority of delegates, as he's likely to this week. But the political reality is that the direction of flow of superdelegates is toward the winner.
I really hope she endorses Obama swiftly, after it is totally apparent that Barack Obama is the Presumptive Democratic Nominee. We need to unite the party and move forward, not remain in stalemate.

OK, here is a clip from Geraldo Rivera's show mentioning this so called "Michelle Tape". Again, if this was TRUE, it would have been out there. Here we go with Republican smear tactics only this time in the vapors. Remember, I said that the GOP would go after Michelle Obama, it already started viral, now publicly.

Our prayers and thoughts are with the Kennedy Family, as Senator Ted Kennedy undergoes brain surgery today, for his cancer in North Carolina. I love the picture below from the American University rally when Senator Kennedy endorsed Barack Obama. Keep him in your prayers, everyone.

Another tidbit for keepsakes or chuckle from "Why We Need Obama" blog. Interestingly called "Obama's Muzzle List".
