Check out yesterday's timeline:
9:49 a.m. - Clinton "friend" and Cabinet member Robert Reich blogs: "I believe that Barack Obama should be elected President of the United States. Although Hillary Clinton has offered solid and sensible policy proposals, Obama's strike me as even more so."
1:31 p.m. - Reuters — "Obama keeps rolling, Clinton running out of time," By Political Correspondent John Whitesides: "After a tough six-week stretch of campaign gaffes, roaring controversies and heightened scrutiny, Barack Obama's presidential bid appears as strong as ever — and rival Hillary Clinton is running out of time to change the script."
1:57 p.m. - AP — "Analysis: Time, delegate math working against Clinton," by Special Correspondent David Espo: "Time is running out on Hillary Rodham Clinton, the long-ago front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination who now trails Barack Obama in delegates, states won and popular votes. Compounding Clinton's woes, Obama appears on track to finish the primary campaign fewer than 100 delegates shy of the 2,025 needed to win." Actually, AP figures Obama may finish the primaries with "only 80 less than the total needed to clinch the nomination."
