The Beginning of the Beginning of the Beginning of the End of this Primary, Part Nineteen

Some big news in the ongoing Democratic primary this morning:

Exhibit A: Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey is supporting Obama. As of now, the biggest players in Pennsylvania politics seem to be with Clinton including Governor Ed Rendell and Rep John Murtha.

As of now, Obama is losing to Clinton in the keystone state by double digits. A simple endorsement will probably not allow Obama to win the state. Nonetheless, Casey who hails from Western PA, speaks to the Pennsylvania demographic that seems most resistant to the Illinois Senator: white, working class voters. This could help close the gap in a state that is critical for Clinton.

Exhibit B: Obama is apparently widening his lead in North Carolina.

Exhibit C: Perhaps this is saving the best for last. Senator Leahy is requesting that Clinton resign from the campaign, echoing Senator Dodd's recent statement that the primary is over and that Obama has won.

Now Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Howard Dean are all eager for this thing to end but aren't taking sides. With the party leadership wishing to get this thing done and over with coupled by the beginning of Senatorial Dominos starting to fall with the request that Clinton quit and endorse Obama, it may be time to say, "Mr. Carville, tear down that job!"*
