Funny SNL piece

A bit less serious, but I couldn't resist posting this SNL clip:

She said what?!!

Clearly HRC wants me to post another blog item. No amount of sleep deprivation on her part (or anything else I can think of, for that matter) could excuse her remark today, nor the poor attempt at an apology. I think my hero, Keith Olbermann, said it best:

Just another in the long list of examples demonstrating why I feel Barack Obama would do a better job of bringing our country together.

Does she really think these things????

Sorry I've been ignoring my blog the last couple of weeks. So I enter back into the election discussion as HC claims get even more outlandish. Here are some good updates and commentary...

A special prize to any of my readers who can find her quote from early in the campaign when she made some disparaging remark about Michigan and/or Florida voters, back in the day when she had agreed that their votes shouldn't count. I tried to find it tonight, but couldn't.

2 states closer

I believe that David Plouffe said it best in an email from the Obama campaign:

There are only six contests remaining on the Democratic primary calendar and only 217 pledged delegates left to be awarded. Only 7% of the pledged delegates remain on the table. There are 253 remaining undeclared superdelegates, for a total of 470 delegates left to be awarded.

"With North Carolina and Indiana complete, Barack Obama only needs 170 total delegates to capture the Democratic nomination. This is only 36% of the total remaining delegates.

Conversely, Senator Clinton needs 326 delegates to reach the Democratic nomination, which represents a startling 69% of the remaining delegates.

With the Clinton path to the nomination getting even narrower, we expect new and wildly creative scenarios to emerge in the coming days.

While those scenarios may be entertaining, they are not legitimate and will not be considered legitimate by this campaign or its millions of supporters, volunteers, and donors."

And another quote I found interesting:
“I, as you know, have great fondness and great respect for Sen. Clinton and I’m very loyal to her,” said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, (D-Calif.). “Having said that, I’d like to talk with her and hear her view on the rest of the race and what the strategy is.”

McCain, Bush or a Carrot

I just took The Bush-McCain Challenge -- an online quiz to see if you can tell the difference between George W. Bush and John McCain. Check it out and see how you do.
