  You can listen to Sen. Klobuchar's endorsement via the daily press conference call here.
  
  
  My favorite part is when she says she's exercising her "independent judgment" in endorsing Obama. Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah.
  
  
  
  Klobuchar, ftw.

  DNC’s Brazile to Clinton: End This Thing by June 10
  
  Trish | Mar. 30, 2008
  
  
  
  Democratic party strategist and super delegate Donna Brazile sent a message to Hillary Clinton on ABC’s This Week: Your campaign ends with the primaries. Here’s a transcript from the Roundtable segment, with Brazile, George Will, Paul Krugman, and Robert Reich.
  
  
  
  Donna Brazile: I think we have an exit strategy in the Democratic party to end the primary season on June 10th and sometime before, I think, before —
  
  
  
  George Stephanopoulous: Why June 10th?
  
  
  
  Brazile: “The problem is simple. Sen. Clinton was supposed to win this. She was supposed to have finished up the contest on Feb. 5th. They had no post Super Tuesday strategy. There’s no reason to demonize and to disgrace the Democratic party to prolong this race longer than June.”D.B. Well that’s the end of the primary season based on the rules, and after all, this is about the rules…This notion of bringing this fight on to the convention is not a wise idea and I think whoever is coming up with this new strategy is not looking at the math again…Do the math. This is not healthy.
  
  
  
  …G.S. You’re saying the credentials committee, unless there is some dramatic change, some dramatic Obama collapse, that Sen. Clinton can’t win at the credentials committee.
  
  
  
  …D.B. You know the problem? The problem is simple. Sen. Clinton was supposed to win this. She was supposed to have finished up the contest on Feb. 5th. They had no post Super Tuesday strategy. They ran out of money. She came back from behind, she won Flori—, I mean she won Texas,* she won Ohio. There’s no reason to demonize and to disgrace the Democratic party to prolong this race longer than June.
  
  
  
  …G.S. Here’s the fundamental problem for the Clinton campaign. There is just, there’s no reasonable possibility that by June 10th, she is going to be ahead in the pledged delegates and I believe, and I want to put this question to Donna — I just think the majority of super delegates who are remaining out there simply can’t in their gut vote to overturn the super delegates,** given the Florida [in 2000] history.
  
  
  
  D.B. That’s true. I mean, that’s just the gospel truth. On the other hand…nobody’s telling her to get out. I would like to see her —
  
  
  
  Paul Krugman: [Laughs]
  
  
  
  D.B. But the party itself is not saying, you know, “Get out.” The party is not saying get out. I have stood behind Sen. Clinton’s efforts to restart her campaign, change her voice, get herself back in groove. But it ends in June. I think this notion that we go on to August is a bad idea.
  
  
  
  * Editor’s Note: Texas is not a Clinton win.
  
  
  
  ** It appeared George meant to say “overturn the voters.”
