Slowly but steadily, a string of Democratic Party figures is taking Barack Obama's side in the presidential nominating race and raising the pressure on Hillary Clinton to give up.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota is expected to endorse Sen. Obama Monday, according to a Democrat familiar with her plans. Meanwhile, North Carolina's seven Democratic House members are poised to endorse Sen. Obama as a group -- just one has so far -- before that state's May 6 primary, several Democrats say.
Helping to drive the endorsements is a fear that the Obama-Clinton contest has grown toxic and threatens the Democratic Party's chances against Republican John McCain in the fall.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Oh ... I hope this pans out.
I hope one super-delegate after the next starts coming out in support of Obama. It may be the one reality that will convince the Clinton's that they're not going to win this thing and to LET IT GO!!!!

Actually, I believe it's the 7 from NC that will make them nervous.

The thing that will hurt Barack Obama is that he is a spinner. Obama's campaign does more spinning than George W. Bush's campaign did in 2000 and 2004.
HILLARY CLINTON IS A WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BARACK OBAMA IS A SPINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
