Barack Obama is having a tough week. His poll numbers actually dipped slightly after announcing Joe Biden as his running mate. Tuesday night of the convention consisted of Mark Warner rambling about car phones while seemingly avoiding the topic of Obama followed by Hillary Clinton giving a speech that seemed to be the start of her 2012 campaign.

His problems might get a lot worse as angry Clinton supporters demand a full roll call vote during the convention. Rumors are flying that the Obama campaign wants to conduct the roll call in the various hotels during breakfast instead of during the televised portions of the convention. This isn't sitting too well with Hillary Clinton's supporters.

Tuesday morning they took to the streets to demand a roll call. This was no insubstantial group as can be seen.

"What Did Hillary Clinton Promise Mark Udall?"

That seems to be the question on everyone's mind in the wake of the Indiana and North Carolina primaries on Tuesday. All indications are that it will be impossible for Hillary Clinton to have a shot at the Democratic presidential nomination after her failure to perform well in either state. Colorado Democrats backed Barack Obama over Clinton by a more than 2-1 margin. Despite all this, Mark Udall still refuses to endorse Barack Obama.

As Ben DeGrow at Schaffer v. Udall points out, Udall recently stated that he will hold out as long there is "officially" a race for the nomination:

Congressman and U.S. Senate candidate Mark Udall, D-Colo., said Tuesday he remains committed to being formally undecided until sometime in June.

“If the contest is still under way in June, I think it’s incumbent on superdelegates who are uncommitted to weigh in at that point,” Udall said.

It's not as if this is just conservatives taking pot-shots at Mark Udall either; liberal Colorado bloggers are getting understandably curious why in the face of Obama's apparent nomination and overwhelming local support for his campaign that Mark Udall and the rest of the state's Democratic establishment is holding out. The liberal blog SquareState voices their concern:

With the primaries effectively over, every Colorado Democrat is asking the same thing:  What is Mark Udall waiting for?  Is there a Udall-Ritter-Salazar axis angling for something in return?  Are they just trying to prevent any Denver unpleasantness?  There are at least 5 superdelegate votes hanging out there from Colorado (Udall, Ritter, 2 Salazars and Waak).  What's more, Obama NEEDS Colorado.

At this point holding out only benefits one person in the race: Hillary Clinton. In a state where practically the entire state party backs Obama it makes sense that Clinton supporters would stay quiet or risk political suicide. The question now is: what did Hillary Clinton offer Mark Udall that is compelling enough for him to defy 66% of his base and refuse to endorse his party's presidential nominee?

Hillary Clinton gets caught in a lie about healthcare by the New York Times:

Over the last five weeks, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York has featured in her campaign stump speeches the story of a health care horror: an uninsured pregnant woman who lost her baby and died herself after being denied care by an Ohio hospital because she could not come up with a $100 fee.

The woman, Trina Bachtel, did die last August, two weeks after her baby boy was stillborn at O’Bleness Memorial Hospital in Athens, Ohio. But hospital administrators said Friday that Ms. Bachtel was under the care of an obstetrics practice affiliated with the hospital, that she was never refused treatment and that she was, in fact, insured.

It's pretty bad when not even the New York Times can overlook Hillary's fabrications about the healthcare system.
