Heading for that second or third cup of coffee to get you through the last hour of work? I know the feeling and hope you enjoy!

Here is what you might have missed while making spreadsheets or attending meetings.

- Superdelegates continue their move to Obama, new endorsements for Obama. North Dakota Senator Dorgan, former Clinton supporter and Civil Rights hero Congressman John Lewis.

- Hillary Clinton will not release her tax-returns until April despite calls from the Obama camp that she do so after it was revealed that she put her own money into campaign.

- Bill Clinton went after Barack Obama’s position on manned space exploration while visiting Texas while John McCain began a war of words with the Illinois Senator over Iraq policy.

- The White House is blaming the Clintons for a delay in releasing 11,000 documents relating to Sen. Clinton’s years as the First Lady. Because of a law in place since 2001 Bill Clinton needs to give approval for the release of those documents, which WH spokesperson Dana Perino says they have ready to go. They just need Bill to give the OK.

- The Tennessee Republican Party produced a press release entitled “Anti-Semites for Obama” which attacks the Senator’s ties to Louis Farrahkan. It also uses the Senator’s middle name “Hussein” and launches other charges in an attempt to link the Senator to terrorism. The Knoxville News reports that the Party stands by the release.

- Above the Law breaks down some numbers on what an Obama presidency will do to those earning big bucks in America.

- Radio personality Bill Cunningham dropped the “Hussein” middle name several times during a McCain event leaving the candidate apologizing. In response Cunningham defended his words and trashed McCain on FOX News.

Now head back to work or head home and enjoy the rest of the day!
