Obama Gains Senate Majority With Clinton Defector

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has gained the Senate majority with the defection and endorsement of a former Hillary Clinton supporter, Senator Jeff Bingaman.

He marks the 1,245,975th person that has defected from the Clinton camp. Wow, that can't be good for her self-esteem (me smirking).

With Bingaman Endorsement, Obama Takes Senate Support Lead

Sen. Barack Obama officially pulled ahead today in the scramble for endorsements from colleagues in the U.S. Senate, thanks to Sen. Jeff Bingaman of New Mexico.

Never one of the Senate's most high-profile members, Bingaman now has a claim to political fame: He put Obama over the top after his long slog to catch Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, who had a head start in winning the support of her peers. Obama now has 14 endorsements to Clinton's 13."

Oh yeah, and according to Drudge Report, "Bill Clinton hates Obama":
