The Center for Public Integrity has launched a website to keep track of the millions pouring into the presidential campaigns. Obama, they report, won the New Hampshire money primary. The team is headed by ex-NPR vice president Bill Buzenberg and includes former LAT reporters Sara Fritz and Jules Witcover. * Noted: Another ex-LATer, Massie Ritsch, is behind the highly interactive and deep OpenSecrets.org at the Center for Responsive Politics, which did the run last year on Sam Zell's political giving.
Around town today: Clinton folks are holding a victory party at their Wilshire District headquarters at noon — and again at 5 pm. Doubles? The Obama campaign is holding a news conference at City Hall at noon to announce the endorsements of Supervisor Yvonne Brathwaite Burke, Rep. Adam Schiff, former Rep. Mel Levine and West Hollywood mayor John Duran, among others.
