Clinton: Sitting Shiva for America Tour '08.

(credit to David Brooks, whose line that is. I cannot stand David Brooks, but that at least made me laugh).

By the holy word of cable pundits, nothing that happens in Wisconsin matters. If Obama wins, well, that was expected. If Hillary wins, fine, but Obama still has that nasty delegate lead.

zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Serously, anyone know why this is close in Wisconsin?

All the pundits were handing it to Obama by a big win.

What's the deal?

why not? he's lowered my expectation:

and got me to support the real change.

Looks like Hillary stood her ground in Wisconsin and may split it.

Interesting!

Why can't Obama close the deal in these states?

What if they held an election and more than 1.7 million Florida Democrats came? That is the quandary facing Democrats, as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama slog it out, state to state, with neither in reach of the 2,025 delegates needed to claim the nomination.
Florida Democrats could stage another election that would count toward tie-breaking delegates, but a caucus with limited voting sites would draw a fraction of the record-setting Jan. 29 turnout.
Or the deadlock could be broken by 796 so-called ''superdelegates'' at the convention, but allowing party bosses to subvert the will of the people -- there's that 1.7 million again -- threatens to be a public-relations disaster.
Florida House Democratic Leader Dan Gelber of Miami Beach is pitching an alternative: a mail-in vote, framed as a runoff between Clinton and Obama, allowing Democrats and independents to participate.
Only Democrats were allowed to cast ballots in the primary, which did not count toward delegates because the early date broke national party rules. Mailing ballots to every registered Democrat and independent would overcome the elitist tinge of a party caucus or superdelegate surge.
SELF-SERVING

SELF-SERVING
Clinton's camp immediately dismissed Gelber's idea. No wonder: It gives Obama a chance to win a state she already won, and independents typically favor Obama.
''I think that the people of Michigan and Florida spoke in a very convincing way, that they want their voices and their votes to be heard,'' Clinton said.
But her demand -- which looks increasingly self-serving now that Obama leads in delegates -- may not get traction.
For Obama, whose campaign has dismissed the state's delegate-less vote as meaningless, the do-over allows him to get in the good graces of Florida Democrats. It also would let him do what he does best: talk to voters. The major candidates ceased campaigning in Florida months ago after the party punished Florida.
''I think even my 6-year-old would understand it would not be fair for Sen. Clinton to be awarded delegates when there was no campaign and, in one of the states at least, my name didn't appear on the ballot,'' Obama told reporters.
And for Democrats looking ahead to November, when independent voters will undoubtedly play a decisive role, Gelber's idea of including independents is a potentially ingenious party-building tool. The state party would engage these swing voters months before the general election campaign gets under way

people are just figuring it out that his using other people's quote's without giving credit. He's been doing this forever plagarizing from Martin Luther King, John Edwards, and especially Hillary Clinton. I was watching Cmm today and from Wisconsin he said that people are tired of paying higher prices to fuel their homes, buy groceries, and higher Co-payments. Hellooooo, Obama, your a hypocrit telling people these things because you were the one that voted for the Dick cheney energy bill. People are not paying attention!! Another example, First he said Hillary's been to long in Washington and then he said Edward's hasn't been long enough in Washington. Jeez, people are hypnotized again in an election just like people were hypnotized with George W. Bush. we are in big trouble and im getting scared of the country going way to war out on the wrong track.

Why would they lower their expectations now that the Clinton Campaign as it were just shot itself in the foot again by saying Wisconsin doesn't matter.

This campaign of HCs getting weirder by the day. It's a shame that Wolfson and Penn can't recognize that this is event 2006: The majority of Americans have finally woken up to the fact that we hold the power.

Real Life Story in Honor of Black History Month

"A Winner Never Quit and a Quitter Never Wins." Barack Obama Making Black History & Dr. King's Dream a Reality.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., expressed this statement when he said: "If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep the streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry.

He should sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will pause and say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well."

Barack Obama has done his job well!

Garrett A. Morgan, an African-American, invented the first automatic

traffic signal: After witnessing a collision between an automobile

and a horse-drawn carriage in the early 1900s, Morgan decided to invent a traffic signal. While others had tested, promoted,

and even patented traffic signals, Morgan was one of the first to actually apply for and acquire a U.S. patent for an inexpensive-
to-produce traffic signal.¦The patent was granted in 1923, and Morgan later patented the signal"s technology in Great Britain and Canada as well.

Everyone should be aware that with Hillary Clinton as the nominee, Ralph Nader will again be in the mix, which would probably swing some close states to McCain.

I say this because of what I've been reading, and because we all already know how Nader feels about the Clintons.

"...states in which a Democrat will have difficulty in a general election." ??

Wisconsin has not voted a Republican President since 1984.

Kinda prophetic, eh?

It sure is.
Let's get a couple of friends together, write up a script about Hillary with some drugs and sex with a woman....then lets see if it'll catch fire. Uhhhh, we know its not true, but what the hell, lets do it anyway. We have to find a way to get people to stop voting for her, well how about questioning her morals and integrity.

Its no wonder there are a lot of people in this country that don't second guess a ploy like this....look at the distortions and lies floating just to get elected. Disgusting.

Up to now, Barack has had to beat Hillary and Hillary just had to hold serve. Now it's the other way around - Barack has become the default choice and Hillary has to beat him. She has to do more than just keep him from increasing his lead - she has to make up 130 earned delegates. I don't think she can do it, but I'm sure she'll try.
