There is so much to cover on this front.

• OK, its pretty obvious by now that we are a pro-Obama blog, but I think it would be shameful for me not to note that Hillary Clinton will be in Minnesota on Sunday. A venue has yet to be announced, we’ll see if she has the same crowd building abilities as Obama.
• We already noted today that Congressman Jim Oberstar endorsed Obama, but I’d like to point out the the Minnesota Daily just endorsed our favorite candidate as well.
• And speaking of newspaper endorsements, check out this passage from the LA Times endorsement of Obama.
  

  An Obama presidency would present, as a distinctly American face, a man of African descent, born in the nation’s youngest state, with a childhood spent partly in Asia, among Muslims. No public relations campaign could do more than Obama’s mere presence in the White House to defuse anti-American passion around the world, nor could any political experience surpass Obama’s life story in preparing a president to understand the American character. His candidacy offers Democrats the best hope of leading America into the future, and gives Californians the opportunity to cast their most exciting and consequential ballot in a generation.

  In the language of metaphor, Clinton is an essay, solid and reasoned; Obama is a poem, lyric and filled with possibility. Clinton would be a valuable and competent executive, but Obama matches her in substance and adds something that the nation has been missing far too long — a sense of aspiration.

  Read the whole thing.

• Some of you might remember that Hillary was a board member at Wal Mart, possibly the most anti-worker corporation in the world, during the late 80s. Hillary claims it was before the company turned devious, and thats not entirely inaccurate. But now there is video evidence that Hillary failed to stand up against the anti-union plans of her fellow board members. Disgraceful.

OK. That’s enough for now, but stay tuned this weekend for my caucus primer. We’ll take an in-depth look at how what DFLers do Tuesday night will translate into delegates at the national convention.
