Molina Endorses Team Clinton
She kept it under her hat for awhile, but the LA County Supervisor came out for the Clintons today. Does it cancel out the effects of La Opinion’s endorsement of Obama?
Chinese American Election Views
Jun Wang summarizes online chatter: Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have stirred a heated debate, as well as generational warfare, in the Chinese-language blogosphere.

Dolores Huerta Explains Her Support for a Clinton Restoration

Nagourney’s Black/Brown Tension Piece Based on Anecdote
In Tuesday’s New York Times, Adam Nagourney picks up on the Blacks and Latinos don’t get along and that’s bad for Obama meme that I’ve seen elsewhere, and blogged about.
