Clinton, Obama dash to Washington after Indiana stumping

The Los Angles Times reported that the Senate has adjourned until later today to give both democratic nominees time to return to Washington to vote on a pay discrimination bill.

Following the announcement late last night of Senator Clinton's win in Pennsylvania, the two candidates rushed to Indiana, promptly made their opening speeches, then rushed to Capital Hill to vote on a bill that would give workers the right to sue employers for past pay discrimination.

The article then switched its focus back to the democratic nomination where it outlined Sen. Clinton's attempted to grab attention from the superdelegates. She stated that her Pennsylvania victory should give a lot of fresh information to the superdelegates and said that if Florida and Michigan were included in the count, then the popular vote would be very close.

The Obama campaign responded with a statement by Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henery who recently endorsed the Illinois Senator. He said that Obama is uniquley positioned to unite the nation and move beyond the divisiveness and partisan skirmishes that too often characterize politics as usual in poititics.
