Yeah, Pyrrhic indeed

Guess this is why Bush, when he lost the popular vote and took the election only with shady deal from the Supreme Court had to govern from the center, was forced to listen to his critics and couldn't follow his own path. God! what a short memory people have! As for the anguish of 'if only FL hadn't been penalized', let's rephrase that to read: 'if only FL had played by the rules set up by the party and held its primary a few weeks later'.

Identified Pennsylvania as the absolute key toss-up state for them, and private groups did go in there with Wright ads over the last 10 days. And the republicans got hammered.

Thanks Heavens

that Dragon Lady Clinton made as many mistakes as she did in her campaign. While I'm unhappy about all the Clintonistas that Obama has selected, its still much better than having her and her sort of husband back in the White House.!!!!
