Is this true? No new supers for Clinton since 2/5?

MSNBC First  Read reports:

Clinton's super problem: By our count, the Clinton campaign hasn't publicly announced the support of a new superdelegate since just after February 5. Indeed, since Super Tuesday, Obama has gained 47 new superdelegates, while Clinton has lost seven (including Eliot Spitzer). Does Clinton have a bigger problem on the superdelegate front than folks realize? Why do we think party leaders -- who saw the Democrats lose governorships, state legislatures, and the control of Congress during the Clinton years -- suddenly jump on board the Clinton campaign? Isn't this the reason the Clinton campaign has only been able to keep uncommitted supers from climbing board Obama's bandwagon but they haven't been able to woo a new super to their side in a month?

Is this really true? Anyone here have different data?

Obama should launch a TX & OH attack ad blitz

Aimed squarely at John McCain and focused on Iraq. And Gitmo. And torture in general. And Pakistan.

But also include Obama saying this:

A war that should never have been authorized

Also point out that McCain's "experience" inside the Beltway left McCain unable to see that our Iraqi adventure would turn into a freaking disaster. Too much time inside Washington erodes the ability to make good judgments.

Also talk about "$9 billion a month and so many lives, wasted. For what? America is NOT safer because of Iraq."

Of course, this would be merely one component of a balanced presentation of all of the issues.

Obama has the money. Run those ads NOW and score a two-fer-one.

Get his name in front of OH & TX Democrats without attacking Hillary Clinton by name, at all.

Oooops, He did it again

Bill Clinton that is.

After saying he was against the Iraq war from the beginning, former President Clinton now says this:

ORANGEBURG, South Carolina (CNN) - Former President Bill Clinton said Monday that the first thing his wife Hillary will do when she reaches the White House is dispatch him and his predecessor, President George H.W. Bush, on an around-the-world mission to repair the damage done to America's reputation by the current president -- Bush's son, George W. Bush.

Uh, does Bush 41 actually agree that Bush 43 FUBAR-ed our foreign policy?

A spokesman for the George H.W. Bush was not immediately available to comment on whether the former president would chip in some diplomatic help after his son leaves office next year.

Maybe Colin Powell will be available to join in this Carlyle Group World Tour.
