CNN: Obama sweeps Democratic contests
Senator from Illinois wins caucuses in Nebraska, Washington, Virgin Islands, primary in Louisiana.
Katharine Mieszkowski [2008-02-09]

  • Florida and Michigan

    I think the fairest thing to do in those states would be to set up new contests between now and June. Have both candidates on the ballot and both candidates campaign in the states.

    MI and FL tried to do an end run around the national party in order to make themselves more important in the nominating process. If there are real contests in those states they will have a lot of importance.

    There is no way that the narrative of two states where Sen Clinton and Uncommited were the only ones on the ballot get to decide the nominee will fly with the American people. If Sen Clinton really has the support in those states she shouldn't be afraid of a real contest.

    Sidenote:

    A poster didn't get how Obama's healthcare plan is paid for. It is done by letting the Bush tax cuts on people making more than $250000 a year expire and by streamlining paper work. If that sounds familiar it is because it is almost verbatium how Sen Clinton will fund her plan.
