Obama's "bad" week
"As Clinton gears up her efforts toward coup by super delegate, threatening civil war within the party, it bears nothing that in her best week of the campaign since her New Hampshire victory, she actually lost ground in the race."

2. I can't tell you how pissed off I was after she came in 3RD in Iowa and the media made it all about
Hillary vs. Obama... hardly a mention of the person who came in 2nd.

5. Right now I sure wish the person who came in 2nd was in the running
instead of Hillary Clinton.

7. Yep, can you imagine John Edwards endorsing John McCain over Obama?
He would never pull that kind of crap.

3. Yup.
Sad how much of a hold corporate news has on things.

4. Also, Hillary's CA margin went dropped from 44 to 36. Here's the direct link to the Kos piece

8. I've been plagiarized! You owe me a royalty, Kos!

I've been calling FL/MI-gate a coup attempt against the DNC since last week!

But seriously, folks, Hillary had to pull at least sixty percent in ALL the Super Tuesday II votes to remain viable. She came close only once. Now she'll have to get at least 62% of the vote in all of the remaining contests, including PA. Not impossible, but not likely. But don't hold your breath waiting for the MSM to tell you that--they've got to keep people tuning in!

:headbang:

9. Hillary "The Fighter" Clinton never should have surrendered so many states without a fight,
allowing Obama to run up large margins. Now the dunces at the Clinton campaign are realizing how difficult it is to net a big delegate advantage, no matter how large the state.

She'll be having another confetti shower in six weeks if she wins the popular vote in PA, avoiding the fact that she netted few delegates.

11. If last week was the worst week in Obama's campaign,
then I'm not particularly worried.

Reality is setting in again, despite the Clinton News Network's best efforts.

12. Bring on new elections in FL and MI
Obama will probably win them too. Wouldn't that be delicious?
