NPR takes a look today at “voters who plan to hold their noses” at the polls this November:
NPR listeners from California, Montana and Pennsylvania said they’re going to hold their noses when they vote in the presidential election in the fall. Michael Dimock of the Pew Research Center for People and the Press offers a [...]

I love writing titles like this one. Seems over the past few months I’ve been writing this more often than not regarding one fabulous win or another of Hillary’s. And that’s all thanks to our amazing candidate and her cracker-jack team of staff and volunteers who hit the ground hard in each state and don’t [...]

Big Tent Democrat notes on Talk Left that Obama gave a speech in MO, before the polls closed in WVa. A little tacky? Kinda… But we already know Obama is looking beyond W Va although the results there could matter.
BTD also notes early exit polls from WVa:

Despite the calls from the pundits, surrogates and “creative class” bloggers for Obama, two new polls show strong support for the Democratic race for the nomination to continue.
The first poll from ABC News/Washington Post shows that “64 percent of Democrats in the latest poll say Clinton should remain in the race,” and “even among Obama’s supporters, 42 [...]

The polls are tightening in North Carolina and Barack Obama’s lead seems to be dwindling just days before the primary there.
Not long ago, Mr. Obama was perceived to hold such an advantage that some Democrats here wondered whether Mrs. Clinton would bother to compete vigorously. But the candidates intensified their efforts in the final weekend [...]

Hillary is only up by 6 in PA. A win is a win and that means 50%+1. But we need to aim for as big a win as possible. If you can get out of work for an hour, pitch in and make some calls. Let’s do it for Hill, folks!
Update: Lest you construe this [...]

Sometimes I just need a little excitement to get motivated and for me nothing helps as much as a fun song. In that vein, I give you John Michael Montgomery. I’m not a dancer, but this song always makes me want to get on the dance floor no matter how “bitter” I may be.

Since not every state in the Union is voting tomorrow, national polls have little or no immediate validity. It is the state races that will determine the delegate count after the Feb. 5. voting.
In that spirit, Political Wire has these state poll percentages for this morning, Feb. 4:

The LA. Times set off a bit of a firestorm today claiming the Clinton campaign was “push polling” in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. Their tip on claimed “push polling” came from Ed Coghlan, “who’s a former news director for a local TV station.”
Needless to say, bloggers piled on with the usual… Those [...]

WaPo-ABC’s latest national poll shows Hillary Clinton still leading, as she has for the last three weeks, by 4 points with undecideds at 5 points. Today’s WaPo headline, “Obama, Clinton Are Even In Poll”, however, is wrong in substance and tone. While the Clinton lead in this poll is within the margin of error, two [...]

Hillary Clinton received a few endorsements in the last couple of days that I haven’t had a chance to note here.
They include: Grammy-award winning artist, actress and model Mýa Harrison; Navajo President Joe Shirley Jr.; Texas Reps. Solomon Ortiz of Corpus Christi, the dean of the Texas Democratic delegation, and Gene Green of Houston; the [...]

The title says it all (h/t Huffington Post)… But it’s doubtful his prayers will be answered.
And speaking of Rudy, see what Fox News has to say about “America’s Mayor” (via Media Matters):
