The drawn out Democratic presidential race is producing "negative dividends in terms of strife within the party," said a key Senate supporter of Sen. Hillary Clinton's White House bid.

A day after the Indiana and North Carolina primaries bolstered Sen. Barack Obama's candidacy, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California and a superdelegate, said she wants to talk to Clinton to "see what her view is on the rest of the race. What the strategy is."

Feinstein, who described herself as "very loyal" to Clinton, said "the question comes whether she can get the delegates that she needs and I'd like to know what the strategy is to do that."

Superdelegates -- made up of governors, senators, House members and various other party officials or members -- are also known as unpledged delegates. They are free to choose the candidate they like, while pledged delegates are assigned in primaries and caucuses.

Torpedoing Obama with his dirty laundry is Clinton’s only chance.

I wonder if Hillary regrets spending the Primary season campaigning against Bush, rather than Obama?

Not only money transfers, but promises of earmarks and pork after being elected. Nominate me, and I’ll build that bridge to nowhere.
