The New York Times has a piece that lays out some of the differences between Al Gore and Joe Lieberman:

Not only have Mr. Gore and Mr. Lieberman staked out diametrically opposite positions on the Iraq war, Mr. Gore went so far as to endorse one of Mr. Lieberman’s presidential rivals in 2004, Howard Dean, largely because of his opposition to the invasion. Mr. Lieberman is campaigning for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Senator John McCain of Arizona.

The two men barely speak.

From all reports, it appears that the district level delegate elections shattered records for turnout -- another sign of strength for California Democrats.

Here in Sacramento, I won the CD 5 male slot for Hillary Clinton, and my running mate Karen Skelton won the female slot. Fellow CMR co-publisher Roger Salazar won a spot as an alternate in CD 3, with Dennis Mangers winning the delegate position.

The CDP is expected to publish the full list of winners on its website in the next 24 hours.

Thanks to everyone who participated.

   The Super Delegates overturning the will of the Democratic voters is the only chance Sen Clinton has of securing the nomination. The Super Delegates now moving towards Obama means Hillary is in big trouble. It's almost mathematically impossible for Clinton to catch Obama in pledged delegates now. The question now is how much damage is Sen Clinton willing to do to Obama in the Nov. general election?

   Saying Republican nominee John McCain and herself pass the Commander in Chief test, but Obama doesn't? Maybe Hillary should consider asking Sen McSame if he would be interested in being her running mate. Their agendas seem to have things in common these days. If you had any doubt as to what drives Team Clinton, you shouldn't any more. Hillary is proving that what's most important to her is not a Democrat winning back the White House in 08, but rather her life long dream of becoming the first woman President of the U.S. It's time for Hillary to take one for the team, and get out of a race she can longer win. You had a twenty plus point lead in the polls for so many months Hillary. Your campaign staff blew it with no post Feb. 5th strategy allowing Obama to win eleven straight states.

Sen. John Kerry has dissed his former running mate John Edwards and will endorse Sen. Barack Obama today.
 
Mainstream media is frothing at the story. I don't get it.
 
Most Democrats I know where unimpressed with the Kerry campaign -- it's lackluster response to Swiftboating and his failure (unlike Obama) to connect with voters. And doesn't exactly represent the "change" thing Obama has going for him.
 
On top of that, there's a reason Kerry didn't run again. There just wasn't any support among Democrats again to see him run.
 
It's a boost for the Obama campaign, that's for sure. But it's a real poke in the eye to Edwards and will bring precious little to his campaign.
