Dems: Up and down, up and down

In the presidential race today, lots of little things:

Clinton, eight days after saying she thought her 2000-07 tax returns would be released within a week, still hasn't released them.

In Indiana, Obama gets an endorsement from retired congressman and former 9/11 commission co-chair Lee Hamilton (left). But a new Indiana poll, the first in awhile, shows Hillary up 9.

In Pennsylvania, a new Q poll shows Hillary up 9, down three points from two weeks ago but still a healthy lead (and also shows her faring better against McCain in Ohio, Fla., Pa.). But another new Pennsylvania poll, an outlier right now, shows Obama ahead by 2 points.

In California, Bill Clinton goes ballistic in front of some superdelegates with a tirade about former energy and diplomatic appointee Bill Richardson betraying him by endorsing Hillary. But in Wyoming, Gov Dave Freudenthal -- who Bill Clinton once appointed as US Attorney -- also endorses Obama.

He's a superdelegate. Clinton persuader Harold Ickes says (yesterday) that he's discussing Rev. Jeremiah Wright with superdelegates in an effort to persuade them to back Hillary. Nothing wrong with that, except it rather explicitly acknowledges that Hillary's hopes are now hinged to arguing that white voters won't vote for a black guy with an angry preacher, so Democrats should nominate their white candidate instead.

On a conference call to bash Hillary over NAFTA, California Cong. George Miller, an Obama backer, is asked about the Wright argument: "If they want to work the low road, they're welcome to it.".... Clinton conference call still to come.
