l'll skip the brown liquor in a dirty glass, but l'll certainly join you in a toast...maybe an Avery Karma, or two.

btw: kudos on the "anti swift boat" catch...obama's obviously looking ahead.


the revolution will not be televised...Peace

people are tiring of the quixotic pursuit that she's indulging in.

even here, where our caucuses were over feb 5th, her long time defenders are questioning it and moving to obama...they're more interested in arguing about who his veep pick's going to be.

Confirms this great piece in The Sunday Times, UK a repost of selected morsels:

Hillary Clinton's 'Republican' tactics backfire in battle for Pennsylvania

President Bush's election guru Karl Rove tells our correspondent in Philadelphia that she has left it too late to assail Barack Obama

After Hillary Clinton threw everything including the kitchen sink at Obama last week, one last wild move to boost supporters' spirits would have surprised nobody - because nothing, so far, has been able to prevent the Democratic presidential nomination from slipping out of her grasp in the run-up to Tuesday's Pennsylvania primary.

If it is too late for Clinton, 60, to turn the race around, she has only herself to blame, according to Karl Rove, the architect of George W Bush's two presidential election victories. Democrats regard him as the master of the art of negative campaigning.

"Her problem is not the attack on Obama, it is the timing," he told The Sunday Times. "She was complacent at the beginning and took him for granted."

Outside a silver diner in a white, working-class corner of Philadelphia, fans wore T-shirts with the message, "We've got your back, Hillary", but it is not a good sign when your own admirers are on the defensive.

Chris Carney, a Pennsylvania congressman who has yet to declare for either candidate, said: "This is probably the most stressful situation the two of them have ever been in and it gives us clues to how they will govern in the White House."

He was not impressed when Clinton accused Obama of condescension towards working-class voters after he suggested at a West Coast fundraiser that economically deprived, small-town voters "cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them".

"I think it's a tempest in a teapot," Carney said. "It's an indication that she's grasping for something here. This is a close race. The fact is she's come down from a lead of 22% in the polls to 5% or 6%."

There are still enough "undecideds" to swing the Pennsylvania race heavily in Clinton's favour should the fallout from the attacks on Obama continue. Yet the speed with which the former first lady has gone from "inevitable" winner of the nomination to the brink of sudden death is extraordinary.

Rove believes she committed a fundamental error at the outset by allowing Obama to steal the mantle of change from her. After Clinton spent years as a senator building bridges with Republicans, Obama breezed in and said only he could unite "red state" (Republican) and "blue state" (Democrat) America.

I saw Hillary's name change: Karl R. Clinton.

Well, "You can't vote for war and disown the results"

ALL but 3 for Obama and whe at 1 they announced we had 54 resolutions to vote on by 4, the whole room stood up and chanted YES WE CAN!

Judged purely by age we should be HRC supporters, guess we're not the only flaw in the pollmeisters' gig.
