Hee-hee-hee.

NIce choice of photo. Congratulations.

This is going to be a horse race.

Favorite moment: Matthews eating crow.

But man, what a story.

Purely on the logic of your previous post, isn't Hillary Clinton duty-bound to speak out against the "Tom Bradley" effect -- the racism of voters telling pollsters they'd vote for a black candidate but not doing so when they enter the voting booth -- since she seems to have benefit from it?

If she doesn't speak out about it, isn't she aiding and abetting racism on your view?

I'm not yet in Hillary's corner (I still prefer Obama), but tonight I became *much* more excited about her campaign. Loved her speech tonight.

Favorite moment: Matthews eating crow.

Wasn't it, though? Geez, he was unbearable last night. Did you hear Brokaw after they called it for Hillary? He gave a little lecture about how the pundits need to stop pushing storylines where they have no idea whether it's true or not. I felt like it was directed right at Matthews.

Based on the history here (though not Tom W's own statements), shouldn't someone be claiming that the polls prove Obama won, and that HRC stole the election? Or does that only apply when a R beats a D?

Tom K...

That conjecture is ALL over the net - surf around.

Doesn't say much good about folks, though, IMO.

As in Diebold yada yada yada...

Hillary Clinton has made an amazing comeback from the media blitz. She was always ahead in the polls until recently, so it shouldn't have been such a surprise. And I also loved her victory speech - reminded me of John Edwards' rhetoric. Obama also has been sounding a bit more populist the past few days. Once you strip away the media bias against Edwards you will see that he speaks to our core issues much more than Clinton or Obama. But I say, kudos to Clinton, and now the fun begins. Don't lose site that this is about winning delegates, not just percentage point wins or losses.
