They don't change much. And he gave a GREAT speech again tonight.

But, again, have to be honest here. It did change a little. Hillary had a good night. Let's not take it away from her. Give her credit where it's due. And she's still way down.

But the pinhole of light has grown slightly. Not much, it's still a huge up-hill climb, but she did make progress. And she has a point. He needs to start winning the Pennsylvania, Ohio type states. For me Missouri did a lot for him on this. So did Virginia. But he should really pull one more of these type states before he can fully make his case. Just one. Pennsylvania will be an interesting test and this time not just for Hillary but for Barack too.

This does bother me a little bit with Clinton supporters. Just admit Obama won that crucial swing state. With regards to the high black turnout do you really think that wouldn't turn out for him again in the general? Come on.

And no offense but he's not going to lose California or New York in a general election. You guys need to think a little more electorally too. Now if you still want to say he'll lose Ohio, and that will lose him the election, fine. But she has to show me how she'll win Missouri too. If she's not getting those black votes, and McCain (who managed to win it over Huckabee, still don't knwo how) keeps his rural base, we're just going to need an explanation for what she plans to do.

Also I don't think it's totally fair to discount his other swing states like Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut and Maryland. I accept New Jersey as a swing state for her, even though I can't remember the last time it went red.

To me an even stronger reason to do Florida and Michigan over again. If she wins Pennsylvania and Florida (which she could) again she'll have a stronger argument. Not saying it will be decisive, only that it will be much stronger.

I'm sorry if pinhole isn't enough for you Kate. You can expand it slightly. Not saying that Texas is not an important state, and definitely not saying tonight is not a huge night for her. Just saying she has quite the uphill climb.

Obama still has the delegate lead, he still has the most money, he's still won the most states. She had an amazing night and surely will and should keep going after this. Possibly she can even find a way to win. He still managed to gain a net 8 delegates on her. Again huge win for her tonight, if I put it on a scale she gets a 7 out of 10 tonight. Maybe even an 8. But given his advantages can't give her a 10.

There's no question they should go again. It would help whoever wins (which I too think would be Obama, but hey, Clinton did have a good showing tonight.) Either way then the Democrats in those states won't be unduly pissed off at the Democratic nominee whomever he or she might be.

Who between them, in the presidency, have managed to nothing about this for a grand spanking total of??? 16 years! Way to go Bubba and Dubya. Both have also oddly shown signs of being concerned about it once they leave office.

Bill Clinton had Al Gore, the foremost authority on the subject in the world at his right hand, and did next to nothing.

Dubya, however, was able to beat even this. He came in and just vetoed that pesky Kyoto Treaty right away! He then started complaining about how unfair it was those little tiny third world countries like Myanmar got more of a pass then we did. Waaahhh! He then waited to get reelected, made noises like he was going to do something, and had his EPA sue Arnold Schwarznegger for actually trying to do something. How could he? We all know Bush is the decider.

At least the Mayans didn't know what they were doing. We don't have that excuse. Or at least our presidents certainly don't.

From Wikipedia:

"During his 2008 State of the Union Address Bush announced that the U.S. would commit US$2 billion over the next three years towards a new international fund to promote clean energy technologies and fight climate change. He declared that; "along with contributions from other countries, this fund will increase and accelerate the deployment of all forms of cleaner, more efficient technologies in developing nations like India and China, and help leverage substantial private-sector capital by making clean energy projects more financially attractive.""

Sure, NOW you come around Georgie. It is just odd to me how both Bill Clinton and Bush view the environment as a critical, life-changing issue to be solved after their administrations are over. Our very existence is at stake and these two schmucks want somebody else to worry about it.
