1. Chuck Todd made the point on MSNBC earlier that 115 of the remaining 212 superdelegates (by their count) are from states Obama won. Its doubtful he'll have any trouble getting their support in the end. 2. I think a fair compromise in the Florida issue would be to just strip them of their superdelegates, but leave the popular vote intact. I have no idea how Michigan could be handled, except splitting pledged delegates 50/50 and stripping them of their superdelegates. 3. MSNBC contributor Michelle Bernard is a sexy, sexy woman.

I'm positively sick and tired of hearing Clinton claim she is winning the popular vote. Really goes to show that politicians believe if they repeat a lie often enough someone will believe it. If she somehow got the nomination, she wouldn't get to cherry-pick which states counted and which ones didn't in the electoral college.

Damn...that was fast. Clinton takes Kentucky, CNN projects

That's not a fair thing to say considering she gotten more votes than any other Democrat ever!* *Not really.

For some reason Ted Kennedy's niece's husband insisted its not a tumor on some channel I flipped past last night.

Another endorsement, from someone whose opinion should actually matter... http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/...pporting-obama/ In other news... http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/19/us/polit...amp;oref=slogin

General Clark wouldn't need to bring in Arkansas if he could bring in a bigger chunk of the military vote, or help put to rest concerns regarding Obama's inexperience with military issues. Clark also gives instant credibility to any promises Obama makes concerning military deployments.

That's not a bad pick, but I can't help but think Obama would pick up more Clinton supporters with a woman than with a Clinton backer. Gov. Sebelius of KS is probably the best choice of the female governors, though that doesn't help with regional balance. Granholm would be a slam-dunk if she weren't born in Canada. Senator Landrieu of Louisiana would be my top pick from the Senate, and would provide regional and ideological balance. Of course, if he's going to pick a female Senator, he might as well just go with Clinton. Anyways, here's my top 5 (in no particular order): Wesley Clark Hillary Clinton Mary Landrieu Bill Richardson Kathleen Sebelius

I'm now becoming convinced that adding Mrs. Clinton to the ticket is a good idea. She and her supporters are probably just sore enough losers that they'll try and throw the election to McCain if they don't add her.And, at least on paper, having a VP nominee with her experience and name recognition will end up helping more than it hurts. I'm not 100% sold on the idea, but I can definitely see the benefits.

Kind of like this?

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/05/18/cam...wrap/index.html Hillary's back to using her "I won the popular vote" argument. She's right, she did....so long as you count the state Obama wasn't on the ballot for, and DON'T count the caucus states Obama won. She expects the superdelegates to fall for this bullshit math because...?

Because no one in the Republican Party thinks they can win on real issues anymore, given the situation in Iraq and the poor state of the U.S. economy.

Some of the English colonies that would later become the original 13 states were founded on Judeo-Christian principles. The United States, the official internationally recognized soveriegn nation that has existed since 1776 and whose government and laws we now follow, was not. There is nothing in the Bible that remotely resembles anything in either the Constitution (including the 27 Amendments passed since 1789) or Declaration of Independence. There's no mention in the Bible of freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, no taxation without representation, habaes corpus, representative democracy, separation of powers, equality under the law, inalienable rights, states rights, election of representatives or chief executives, term limits, women's suffrage, the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, or other procedures and principles embedded in our founding documents. The only governments mentioned in the Bible are kingdoms and monarchies. Contrary to popular belief, God is not mentioned in the Declaration of Independence, but "our creator" which some people believe to be God. Perhaps the only thing the Bible mentions that the Constitution reinforces is owning slaves, but even that was counteracted by the 13th Amendment.

The "well, animals do it" response is useful as a counterargument to the "homosexuality is a choice and contrary to nature" argument that's been used for as long as homosexuality has been debated.

Karl Rove re-emerges to star in another episode of "Righteous Indignation Theater." I'm paraphrasing here, but essentially Rove said, "I'M OFFENDED THAT BARACK OBAMA DIDN'T WANT TO WEAR A FLAG PIN BECAUSE IT IS AN INSULT TO PEOPLE WHO ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR FLAGS AS PART OF THEIR UNIFORM!" He also said, "I'M HOPING PEOPLE WILL CONTINUE BELIEVING THAT OBAMA TELLING EVERYONE HE HATED GOD AND GUNS WHEN HE SAID PEOPLE WERE 'BITTER', INSTEAD OF WHAT HE REALLY SAID!" The irony of the "bitter" comment was that, in context, it was actually a criticism of the Democratic Party's economic betrayal of the working class, and an acknowledgment that the Republicans had outmanuevered them by appealling to voters based on the hand-full of issues the Republicans emphasize. Surely you'd think Rove of all people would agree with that assessment.

Everybody feel free to sing along.

I'm sorry, I didn't make the reason for my comparison clear. I was only trying to put MSNBC's popularity in the context of other news channels, not imply that you had a preference for them.

While I agree with Jesse Ventura on many issues and think he's a hell of a guy, I think the media will BBQ him for his comments on 9/11 if he commits to running.

Except that we're nearly biologically identical and all.
