Chelsea Clinton gives her Mom a Mother’s Day present (sadly, she’s not a Superdelegate): a message about what a devoted mother she is. She asks us all to sign her card.
Sound bite: “I want to wish every mother out there a happy Mother’s Day. And remember your little girls can be anything they want to be in America when they grow up. Even if it’s to be the second woman President.” (Or maybe vice president….)

NBC’s Tim Russert says “We now know who the Democratic nominee is going to be.”
After his big win in North Carolina, Barack Obama shifts into general election mode, reaching out to the voters who haven’t been voting for him. (And, by the way, Barack LOVES America.)
Hillary Clinton squeaked by in Indiana and says “It’s full-speed on to the White House!” Shot and a beer, please and hold the gas tax.
Tom Hanks endorses Obama with a wink of irony:
