Well maybe at least the Obama campaign can console themselves that she won’t be voting for McCain either. Instead, Clinton Texas delegate Frances Morey of Austin simply plans on leaving the top spot unmarked.
From the Austin American-Statesman:
Frances Morey of Austin, a Clinton delegate to the party’s June state convention, noted that Obama lacks the 2,118 […]

Newsbusters.org has written a great article on PUMA power today, “MSM Mostly Ignores Surge of Anti-Obama PUMA Democrat Activity.” A choice quote:
Imagine if a bunch of disgruntled Mitt Romney supporters were currently stalking John McCain or Republican events loudly demanding that their candidate be nominated. Think the national press would be featuring it bigtime as […]

In order to “save” the Democratic Party, Brazile resolved back in 2003 that she might have to destroy it first. And who better to help her in this lofty pursuit than her new best friend, the man neoconservatives call “The Architect”.

All right, Barack, you’ve got your tiara and you’re prancing down winners’ row like Miss America. We get it, you’re happy. Sadly for you, the rest of us are damned pissed off and you’re the target of our rage.
You see, our girl, Miss Universe, came in […]

Shepherdstown, W. Va.
While Barack Obama is busy ordering champagne for his premature victory party on May 20th, Hillary Clinton is pounding the West Virginia trail to get-out-the-vote in Tuesday’s primary.

Via MyDD’s Jerome Armstrong today, in “Counting the people“:
The AP asks: “Why can’t Barack Obama close the deal?“ The contest in PA was the 4th major chance that Obama had to close the deal, and failed again. Anyone who thinks that Clinton is going to be out of the race in May is delusional. For us […]
