Saturday marks 100 days left until the convention
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
The DNCC has just issued the following press release:
With Saturday marking just one hundred days to go until the eyes of the world turn toward Denver and the 2008 Democratic National Convention, the Democratic National Convention Committee (DNCC) announced today that its plans remain on track or ahead of schedule for a truly historic event that promises to be an engaging celebration of the strength of the Democratic party, the diversity we embrace, the values we share and our vision for America. The Committee is entering the final preparatory stages and is now increasing focus on the executional and programmatic elements of the Convention.

Democratic Convention Watch: Colorado add-on likely for Obama

Colorado add-on likely for Obama
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
We noted earlier this month that current Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper and former Denver Mayor Federico Pena were the two candidates running for the Colorado add-on position to be picked on May 17. Pena supports Obama, Hickenlooper was Uncommitted, and the winner was in doubt.
Well, we were told today that Hickenlooper has withdrawn his name for the position, which guarantees it for Pena, and will give the add-on vote to Obama once it becomes official on Saturday.

Democratic Convention Watch: Moving the goalposts

Moving the goalposts
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
Moving the goalposts, what’s the definition of victory, has been a controversial topic this year. But the goalposts have been moving for legitimate reasons, as the number of superdelegates has gone down and up and down and up again. On December 11, 2007 we were at 798 superdelegates (not counting MI and FL), but a week later we were at 797, and we haven’t been back to 797 since. But with Travis Childers’ big win last night, we’re back up to 796 superdelegates, which gives 4,049 total delegates, with 2,025 needed to win.
But we’re not quite done yet. There’s one more Special Election to go, in MD-4 on June 14th, where Donna Edwards is a sure bet to win. Al Wynn isn’t resigning until the end of this month, and we took him off our lists a couple of months ago, but others have kept him on. Either way, when he leaves, we’ll all be at 796 supers. We told you, those goalposts keep moving.

Democratic Convention Watch: What happens to Edwards’ delegates?

What happens to Edwards’ delegates?
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
With John Edwards’ endorsement of Barack Obama this evening, the question everyone is asking is, “What happens to Edwards’ pledged delegates?”
Well, the first answer, is nothing. As we were reminded yesterday, pledged delegates can vote for anybody at any time. So, rules-wise, Edwards’ endorsement is meaningless.

Superdelegate endorsements for Wednesday 5/14
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
Another day another batch of superdelegates! Obama is up 2.5 to Clinton’s 1 for the day.
We added the first superdelegates last night as we were closing up shop after West Virginia and Travis Childer’s huge victory in Mississippi. College Democrats of America’s Lauren Wolfe (MI) and Awais Khaleel (WI) endorsed Barack Obama. Wolfe’s vote only counts in our Michigan/Florida tables since she is from Michigan.

West Virginia Primary Results
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
Today’s primary in West Virginia won’t be nearly as dramatic as last week’s Indiana primary. Hillary Clinton is expected to win the state by more than 20%. 28 delegates will be up for grabs. 18 delegates will be based on district results. 10 will be based on statewide results with 7 being at-large delegates and 3 being pledged PLEO’s (Green Papers)
Polls opened at 6:30AM Eastern and closed at 7:30PM.

Democratic Convention Watch: Democrats win MS-1 Special Election

Democrats win MS-1 Special Election
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
Completing an amazing trifecta of Special Elections in long-held GOP seats this spring, Democrat Travis Childers has won the Special Election in MS-1, defeating Republican Greg Davis (53-47 at this writing).
Following the wins of Bill Foster in IL-14 and Don Cazayoux in LA-6, and each district being more progressively Republican, Childer’s win is going to send shock waves throughout the political community. This district has a Partisan Voter Index (PV) of R+10, meaning on average it votes 10% more Republican than the nation as a whole. If every district with a PV of R+10 was in play in November, that’s 50 seats the GOP will have problems defending.

Pledged Delegate Switches to Obama
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
In a move that is likely to cause some controversy, a Maryland pledged delegate has announced he is switching from Clinton to Obama:
Prince George’s County Executive Jack B. Johnson, a Democratic convention delegate pledged to support Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, said yesterday that he thinks Sen. Barack Obama has “in a real sense” won the Democratic nomination and that he now plans to support Obama at the August convention.
…
This is Johnson’s second change of heart in the race. He had allowed his name to be listed as a supporter by the Obama campaign in December.

Obama gets 4 superdelegate endorsements so far today
“In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Senator Obama worked to help address the needs of our Gulf Coast communities. As the Gulf Coast continues to rebuild, other cities have faced tragic disasters across this country. Therefore, it is critical that this country’s infrastructure and emergency response systems are evaluated and rebuilt to sustain our cities and protect our families. What happened in Louisiana should never happen again.
