You can find them here.

I’m not going to have time to wade through all of them, but Ambinder has taken a look and shares some of what’s contained within this treasure trove…

** The battle for strategic supremacy and chaos in the campaign

** Mark Penn and the rest of the staff debating gender, politics, Obama’s significance, timing, the media’s bias and more.

Ordinarily, I don’t post notices of campaign conferences calls, unless there is a particularly good reason.

However, I did write a post on the subject today (that is still in need of revision), so I figured I’d post links to these calls in case anyone was interested in hearing some background information on this subject firsthand…

These numbers are from yesterday, but Gallup has had the exact same spread for four days now. Will the seating of Michigan and Florida create an uptick later today?

They want the 55 uncommitted delegates from Michigan to stay “uncommitted. ”

Umm…what was that about the will of the people again?

From Politico:

In a conference call with reporters, Clinton Senior Adviser Harold Ickes clarified their position on Michigan — they don’t want the 55 “uncommitted” delegates to go to Obama (his name did not appear on the ballot in Michigan).

Looks like he may be getting that post-NC/IN bump.

The 2,025 number has been THE finish line since the beginning of the campaign. Not until the Clinton camp started to see their imminent demise did they start to make the argument that the “real” number is actually 2,209…which would include delegates from Florida and Michigan.

Some have been saying Obama supporters are being paranoid about Clinton not dropping out.

Well, here’s the latest campaign email, sent out by Bill Clinton (emphasis added by the campaign):

Dear Justin,

I want to tell you about the day I had on Monday.

I stopped in nine towns throughout North Carolina, starting the day at 7:30 a.m. in Elizabeth City and ending with a rally in Raleigh.

That’s the most stops I’ve ever done in a single day — for any campaign. And I couldn’t be happier to work that hard for Hillary.

More specifically, the infamous Mark Penn thought so…and he didn’t get fired for it. They actually based their strategy off of it.

From TIME…

Clinton picked people for her team primarily for their loyalty to her, instead of their mastery of the game.

That became abundantly clear in a strategy session last year, according to two people who were there.

AP - Hillary Clinton is pushing on in her race for the Democratic White House bid, despite calls to drop out.
