North Carolina In Obama's Pocket?

Not so, says the Obama campaign.

Reports that the other six Democrats on the congressional delegation are about to endorse BO are unfounded.

Oh be nice --- you can't expect Marc to read everything.

Besides, even if it is in there, it has to be fact checked.

Besides, it may be that the idea the rumors are unfounded (without ANY foundation) are themselves unfounded rumors....

wsj:
"One North Carolinian confirmed that at least several of the state's House members would go public in favor of Sen. Obama before long."

ambinder:
"Sen. Amy Klobuchar's endorsement of Barack Obama, along with news that six additional members of the North Carolina's congressional delegation will back Obama before the state's May 6 primary, may well signal the beginning of the open spigot for Obama and his superdelegates."

How did ambinder get from the wsj's "several" to "six additional"? Inquiring minds want to know.

And now that we know ambinder's crowing was unfounded will he post about how the spigot is not beginning to open for obama?

Nah.. It's about keeping the positive obama narrative going. True be damned.

My point:
"ON THOSE NORTH CAROLINA ENDORSEMENTS

But as of today, added another source familiar with the story, the idea might have simply been born of one Obama supporter's wishful thinking."

ambinder never met a pro-obama talking point he wouldn't copy and paste. That's the same type of 'reporting' that brought us 8 years of bush.
