Ed Morrissey / Captain's Quarters:
My Vote  —  Over a year ago and many times since, I wrote that I could give no endorsement, because I had honestly not made up my mind about which candidate to support.  I also told the CapQ community that if I did make a decision, I would announce it as soon as I made it so that they knew where I stood.

OFF THE BUS....I haven't been impressed with very much of the chatter about Barack Obama's primary victory last night.  Hillary didn't give a concession speech?  Give me a break.  Who cares?  Turnout was up?  Yes, but it's been an exciting and money-filled campaign and turnout has been up everywhere.

Seattle Times:
Obama for the Democrats  —  After seven years of George Bush's failed presidency, after five years of unnecessary war in Iraq, America is ready to write a new narrative.  All candidates favor the now-bromidic slogan: change.  Only one candidate truly embraces the yearnings this word represents.
Chris Bowers / Open Left:

Waving Goodbye to Hegemony  —  Turn on the TV today, and you could be forgiven for thinking it's 1999.  Democrats and Republicans are bickering about where and how to intervene, whether to do it alone or with allies and what kind of world America should lead.
Josh Marshall / Talking Points Memo:
ABOUT JESSE'S WINS IN SOUTH CAROLINA  —  Bill Clinton's reference to Jesse Jackson's wins in South Carolina pretty much speaks for itself.  But there's a further part of the story that's well worth pointing out.  TPM Reader JZ wrote in last night to point out that in 1984 and 1988 …
