Yesterday Representative John Murtha (D — PA) endorsed Hillary Clinton, the first superdelegate to line up behind her since her victories in the last big primaries.
So What Happens Now? The Election Keeps Keepin' On. . . .
I wonder if anyone is as exhausted as CBS must be this morning after having called Indiana so early, and then having to wait — alone— as Hillary's lead shrunk. They must have been sweating it to say the least. But when the counting was done, Hillary indeed took Indiana by a thin, two-point margin.
