come again, l'son?
We've even admitted Obama basically is down to either just a Pennsylvania or Ohio problem depending on which he feels he needs.
So, Obama is now able to snap his fingers and summon states to supply him with the requisite numbers? Are you kidding?

@AJCalhoun: Oh, That John Dean!
That pretty much matches up with my view. But I would add that our system of government relies on opposing forces. A lot of housecleaning to be done in both parties.

What's that? Real news??
But the punishment that the rules committee secretly favors is to take away all superdelegates (54) from both states, since it is elected officials like Michigan's Sen. Carl Levin and Gov. Jennifer Granholm, along with Sen. Bill Nelson from Florida, who encouraged these outlaw primaries.
Wait... was that .. new information that Walter Shapiro just revealed?
Maybe I'm just not up to speed on the talk of the net news these days, but if this is what the DNC is really thinking then that's the first I've heard of it — and it's to Walter Shapiro's credit that he's floating the story as part of his reporting on the campaign.
Real news at last! That must be a welcome change.

Not Furlong
Poor Kentucky. The only filly in the field broke down just after finishing 2nd.
Oh, but maybe Big Brown will Triple Crown. (Though i'd put him back on the turf.)
W Va has a Derby, too, but without mint julip.
If Senator O wants vote fans in Puerto Rico, the sport there is baseball.
But, deliriously, folks, we might have a chance in the November race.
And not Mean vs Mean.
Call it Clean Green vs Mean Bean.
If Iran soothes things down in Iraq, we won't need another sheriff.
About her, in the last chapter, maybe Bill will tell her.
I'm tired of being held hostage by
all of them.
Obama has three current opponents.
She, who's soon to fade.
McCain, prone to pratfall.
And, (come at them through W, Dick and Rove,) the cartelocracy.
She demeaned herself in power craze, got lost in it.
McCain aligned with status quo, this season, that's a no go.
There's gonna be a shift in coverage. Enough Press will come to hand.
Time to get on the right side of things. Time to clean it up instead of hiding it.
Harry Reid's gotta drop Joe Lieberman. Obama won Connecticut.
You think that state reelected their 'Independent' to be McCain's busboy?
Yes, O'll have to invite Israelis to Peace. That's where Jimmy Carter can really begin to help. Reason and restraint trump blind belligerence.
World tone can soften. O will stride that path. Everyone but the evil and its design profiteers will look to chart on the same tack.
And, you know i've been saying it, so, one more time: He's not going to Missouri for November alone. He's going for McCaskill.
Unbeatable!

Well certain commentators on Fixed News did refer to him as "Magic"
Although it wasn't in a complimentary way, so I'll leave that one alone.
No I don't think he can snap his fingers and get states. You're right to call me on that. I also don't think anything's for sure.
But I don't think he's going to lose California and New York as some people charge. And I find the notion that he's going to lose 30 states laughable. I also find the idea he's a secret Muslim, which some seem to believe, crazy.
The point is he's as electable as any other candidate, IMHO because of the map. To me too many people in the official Clinton campaign are operating on the notion the map will stay static, the same as it was in 2004. This just isn't going to happen for a myriad of reasons, starting with the war, Bush's huge unpopularity, the fact that Republicans are losing districts they've never lost before (the one in Illinois they held for 30 years and the one in Louisiana for 20 years) and the fact he turns out the one segment of the population that could significantly tip the scales simply because it hasn't been voting up until now (young people.)
People over 29 have been voting somewhere along the clip of 61-63%. People 24-29, only 40%. 18-24 it's even lower. So I think, to a certain degree, he changes the map.
But you're right to call me on any notion I may have been transmitting, that it will be easy. Or any notion that he doesn't have a serious problem getting either Ohio, Pennsylvania or Florida. He does. That's where the problem lies. He's GOT to get one of those.
