Tomorrows talking points today!
The Obama is a cult message had great market penetration but has served it's purpose of keeping many fence sitters reluctant to support Obama. The subtle message for tomorrow's news shows is that Caucuses are horribly undemocratic and a large segment of the voting population is unhappy with them. This will help minimize the news of Sen. Clinton's losses Saturday and set the foundation for holding Super-Delegates committed to the Clinton campaign. The overt message is the campaign is confident moving forward and expects lead in the large primary states in the coming weeks.



This is of course pulled straight from my ass. However, a nickel says that's what the spin is tomorrow.

3. When you do not have the best positon on the war - prevaricate
When you do not have the clear voice of leadership - triangulate

When you do not have the momentum - trivialize the election just lost

When you do not have anywhere to go - instigate a smear on the supporters as unthinking cultists


And when all of these do not work and you still cannot win start backing up the dump truck and dumping as much mud on the next president of the United States - Barack Obama

6. ooh yes and combine that with Superdelegates ARE democratic

But thank you for having the day's message ready ahead of time.

Better pro active than re active.

Next - keep track of which blogs and news outlets prove your OP right!

11. update
Well I didn't hear anyone on the talking head shows Sunday talking about how undemocratic the caucus system were but then again i don't watch them.
But there sure are quite a few folks around here saying the caucuses are unfair.

Therefore I'm keeping my nickel.

12. When Hillary loses the 3 Potomac Primaries Tuesday, so much for that caucus meme
Team Hillary is trying to impugn the caucus process as part of their scam to push the nomination decision to the convention superdelegates. Like the Bushes, they start laying down their disinformation schemes early, and repeat them often.

13. Congratulations - you are correct, sir!
USAToday has an editorial today saying caucuses are no way to chose a candidate.

http://blogs.usatoday.com/oped/2008/02/our-view-on-pre.html

And by the number of posts I've seen over the last two days on caucuses, many with repetitive messages, methinks there's a campaign afoot.
