Of course I would like to see a lot more than that. I would like to see 143. I'd like to see 243. I would like to see enough that, in the words of the master, there is no manner of doubt, no probable, possible, shadow of doubt, no possible doubt whatever.

The avalanche has started. It is too late for the pebbles to vote. -- Ambassador Kosh

yeah, cause everybody needs someone whose campaign is $10 million in debt to fundraise for them.

Again Patrick Healy, NY Times, the paper that endorsed Clinton and, then after PA results, unendorsed her takes another shot...this time at HRC's crowing over her PA win: (via The Hatman)

NOTE TO HILLARY: Stop the Crowing and Struting

Assessing Strength of Contenders in Swing States

Reflecting on her victory in the Pennsylvania primary, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton on Wednesday neatly summed up the chief political rationale of her enduring candidacy.

"I won the states that we have to win -- Ohio, now Pennsylvania," Mrs. Clinton said on CNN about her successes over Senator Barack Obama, in one of her six appearances on morning news shows. "It's very hard to imagine a Democrat getting to the White House without winning those states."

Mrs. Clinton says her popularity among blue-collar workers, women and Hispanics makes her the candidate to beat Senator John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, in the swing states that decide presidential races. Along with Ohio and Pennsylvania, she also cites her success in Michigan and Florida -- even though the Democratic Party disqualified those contests, and Mr. Obama was not on the Michigan ballot -- to claim an edge in crucial battlegrounds.

Yet for all of her primary night celebrations in the populous states, exit polling and independent political analysts offer evidence that Mr. Obama could do just as well as Mrs. Clinton among blocs of voters with whom he now runs behind. Obama advisers say he also appears well-positioned to win swing states and believe he would have a strong shot at winning traditional Republican states like Virginia.

According to surveys of Pennsylvania voters leaving the polls on Tuesday, Mr. Obama would draw majorities of support from lower-income voters and less-educated ones -- just as Mrs. Clinton would against Mr. McCain, even though those voters have favored her over Mr. Obama in the primaries.

(emphasis mine)

Again it's a Hillary over-reach.

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

Denver Police Stocking Up...

The Denver Police Department is using taxpayer money to buy new security equipment in preparation for the Democratic National Convention in August but is refusing to disclose exactly what the purchases are, saying that revealing the information would be "contrary to the public interest."

While the Denver City Council has already allocated approximately $5 million of the $50 million in federal funds provided by Congress for national security, the police department is buying equipment on the local level through the city's routine purchasing process, which in some cases can bypass city council approval, according to public officials.

Colorado Confidential sent an open records request to the Denver Police Department in March, seeking any and all purchase orders, award papers, and contracts regarding security equipment for the convention. A response from the city's Department of Safety (the parent organization for the police department) denied the request and stated that such information would disclose "tactical information" that is not in the public interest.

The denial of purchasing information drew criticism from the Colorado American Civil Liberties Union and demonstrators planning to protest during the convention.

Denver City Councilman Doug Linkhart, chairman of the council's Safety Committee, said that transparency will continue to be an issue, even when the city council appropriates federal security funds.

"We're going to try and be as open as possible," said Linkhart. "But there will be some things even I and the mayor's office don't know."
