Television commentator Lawrence O'Donnell, former producer of The West Wing and a contributor to the Huffington Post, said Friday that a senior Clinton campaign official told him the New York senator will be leaving the race by June 15 with a clear exit strategy.


Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign opposes Michigan's plan to give fewer delegates to her and more to rival Barack Obama. A Clinton campaign spokesman said Thursday that the campaign won't support any proposal that gives Clinton less than the delegates she earned winning the primary.


Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton on Thursday rejected a compromise plan to seat Michigan's delegates to the national convention that would give 69 delegates to Clinton and 59 to Barack Obama.


In this tight battle for the democratic nomination we've heard a lot about the candidates courting super-delegates. But, one superdelegate is courting the candidates. He says he'll sell his vote for a price. A very high price: $20 million. Sacramento superdelegate Steven Ybarra says that eight-figure price is peanuts for the presidency.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Hillary Clinton supporter Harvey Weinstein threatened to cut off contributions to congressional Democrats unless House Speaker Nancy Pelosi embraced his plan to finance revotes in Florida and Michigan, three officials familiar with their conversation said.


Hillary Rodham Clinton says she will remain in the presidential race "until there's a nominee." The former first lady declined to say whether that meant through the roll call of the states at the Democratic National Convention this summer.

Alex,

I totally agree. She doesn't give a rip about the voters. Caring about these voters is pure BS. It's all about trying to gain the most delegates she can to try to catch up to Obama.

CECIL: Well, our goal at the end of last night was to be ahead in super delegates and overall delegates. And, in fact, this morning, Hillary Clinton leads Barack Obama in delegates to the Democratic National Convention.

...So, as we move forward, again, we believe that the campaign that takes a long-term approach to delegates, focusing on the next months and developing a strategy to not only win district-level and at-large delegates, but super delegates is going to be the nominee. And we think we have a plan to get us to 2,025.

...[WOLFSON] We think that we are in the poll position because we have a lead, overall, in delegates. We think it is going to be very difficult for Senator Obama to make up that lead because of the way in which the party allocates its delegates proportionately.

So we feel very good about that. But this is going to be a neck-and-neck contest for the foreseeable future.

Senator Obama does enjoy some advantages in the contests in the rest of February, but not in a way that should permit him to overcome our lead in delegates.

...CECIL: I would make two additions to what Mark is saying.

Certainly, we are not writing off any state. I think one of the things that we have all seen in this process is that it's not only about winning or losing states, it's about delegates. And we think that over the course of the Chesapeake primary that the delegate margin overall would be within 15 delegates.

...WOLFSON: And overall, we have a significant lead among delegates, overall, which, obviously, at the end of the day is what is going to positively determine which Democrat is our party's nominee.
