Math that matters most. (With update from Mr. X, update II from Grey, Update III Hominid Views Monte Carlo) »

Many people are asking. “Why isn’t Hillary leaving the race?” Or, “Isn’t the math prohibitive?” Well, the answer is given quite simply by Karl Rove. Now Karl may be a lot of things, but he is not stupid and he knows politics and elections. Unlike Hillary and her surrogates in the […]

Someone, Take Donna’s Blackberry Away from Her »

Thousands are calling for her resignation. Thousands more are wondering if she’s off her meds (or needs to be ON some meds). What I WANT TO KNOW is WHAT IN THE HELL the poor saps like us who donate to the Democratic party are paying this woman? (I actually searched for information […]

Obama Attempts to Deceive the Superdelegates »

After Obama’s devastating defeat in Pennsylvania, the Obama campaign released a memo addressed to the superdelegates but published in the Wall Street Journal which argues that Obama would be the strongest candidate in the Fall against McCain.

He. Can’t. Close. The. Deal. »

Via MyDD’s Jerome Armstrong today, in “Counting the people“:

Let’s assume Hillary wins tomorrow in Pennsylvania. Regardless of her margin of victory, superdelegates are still tasked with picking the Democratic nominee. A post by Jeralyn on TalkLeft argues convincingly that Obama would […]

What is Past is Prologue »

John B. Judis, co-author with Ruy Teixeira of the superb The Emerging Democratic Majority, has a piece today in TNR on the damage Snob-gate has done to Obama. Judis is a respected observer of demographics and voting trends, and his words in this article are perhaps too cautious for his larger point. Superdelegates and Party […]

Rasmussen Reports:
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in Florida shows McCain attracting 53% of the vote while Obama earns 38%. Last month, amidst talk of a possible Florida revote, Obama had closed to within single digits of McCain. In February, however, Obama trailed McCain by sixteen points.
Howard Dean? Nancy Pelosi? Donna Brazile? Hello? Anybody […]

Unelectable »

The message coming out of the Clinton campaign on Sunday is that Obama has rendered himself unelectable.
On Sunday, Obama said Hillary should be ashamed for bringing up Snob-gate.
The Clinton Team fired back with this:

Sen. Clinton does know better — she knows better than to condescend and talk down to voters like Senator Obama […]
