"The real second-class delegates are the delegates that are picked in red-state caucuses that are never going to vote Democratic."- Joel Ferguson, Clinton superdelegate on who really matters to the Clintons
Bill Clinton is playing dirty tricks, as is his wife.
Bill is blaming Obama for other (and by the implication, "better") candidates quitting the race because Obama keeps talking about change from the divisive politics of people like, say, the Clintons.
So, many of us hate this partisan silliness and that's Obama's fault? Um, alrighty then.
Ted Kennedy is accusing the Clinton campaign - and accurately so - for "fear-mongering" in their attacks on Obama's health care plan. Granted, it isn't the piece of legislation I'm happiest with when it comes to him, but her attacks are way out in la-la land.
Also, turns out Obama got zero votes in parts of Harlem in the New York primary on Super Tuesday. Really? Yeah, you and I aren't the only ones having a hard time with that. On further investigation - surprise! - they "found" votes for Obama that may end up giving him more of New York's delegates. "Voting irregularities" my ass.
Not that you should ever count a Clinton out, as this article reminds us.
Garrett Graff over at HuffPo discusses the "Yes We Can" slogan and it's history. And I want to be on record for saying how despicable Clinton's "Yes We Will" meme is. Obama took a Chicano change, translated it and uses it as it was originally intended, as a message of hope. Clinton's Triumph of the Will twist is a play on her so-called inevitabilty. It is a statement of force and far from the sentiment of hope in the original "Si Se Puede". Anyway, that's my two cents.
More on candidate's thieving from the Obama campaign's idea bin.
The St. Paul police department is ready for the GOP: they've got a fresh shipment of tasers just in. Yeah, see, if your party inspires so much hatred that a couple hundred tasers are required to stop the protesters, you may have issues to deal with.
