Obama picks up another Mothers Day endorsment. Kentucky Lt. Governor Dan Mongiardo endorses Obama:

"I believe Senator Obama can unite the Democratic Party and build a coalition of Independents and Republicans to win in November," Mongiardo said in a statement released by Obama’s Kentucky campaign. "A proven leader at working across the partisan aisle, he will bring relief to the hardworking families of Kentucky and a responsible end to the war in Iraq.

"As a surgeon I am particularly impressed with Senator Obama’s plan to deliver health care to all Americans, with an imperative focus on cutting medical costs for all families. It’s time for real change in Washington, and Sen. Obama is the candidate to deliver that change"

— Kentucky Lt. Governor Dan Mongiardo

Mongiardo is not a Superdelegate, but as the second highest ranking Democrat in Kentucky, his endorsement carries significant weight.

Scores? Do I sense a Sexual Scandal brewing here?

Not as long as masturbation is not a crime.

If it were, I'd be a hiker too, dude.

May is National MasturbationMonth!

I don't really understand the posting of the latest superdelegate announcements on TPM reader blogs.

Or if you post can you ask people not to recommend? That way these outdated posts don't take up space on the recommended reader lists.

I don't mean to be a prick about it - it's jsut kind of pointless that SD announcements are in the reader blogs instead of just announced on TPM Election Central.

If folks are desparate for the latest SD news, just follow demconwatch closely.
