Obama met with Clinton last night to discuss party unity and such things. What caught my eye on the CNN report was this bit of news :

Some of Clinton's closest supporters — the nearly two dozen House Democrats from her home state of New York — switched their endorsements to Obama Thursday.

[...]

"We're Democrats. Dammit to hell we fight. When it's over, we come together and go out there to win," said Rangel, the dean of the New York delegation.

The New Yorkers, said Rep. Gregory Meeks, have a duty "to lead this transition" to full party support of Obama.

This meeting was done on Thursday because, based on a Newsday report, almost all the delegation refused to be in the picture when Clinton gives her concession speech on Saturday. Or, as I would like to translate it, they refused to continue their roles of enablers.

Wow!

The New York Clintonistas seemed to have grown more than a pair. I mean, look at that video clip from MSNBC. It speaks volumes.

On that note, I read somewhere --and I lost the dang link to the report-- but I did read somewhere that Governor Patterson will be endorsing Obama today Friday at around 1pm.

Stay tuned.
