I did my part, now let's see what the rest of the state did - under a 30-point loss and I'd be satisfied.

Key Clinton Constituencies Moving Toward Obama

• Obama Swamps Clinton Among Young Voters and Others

• At the same time, support for Clinton among some of her traditionally stalwart support groups -- women, Easterners, whites, adults with no college education, and Hispanics -- has fallen below 50%.

• Bottom Line

After nearly 20 grueling weeks on the campaign trail since he shook up the Democratic primary race by winning the Iowa caucuses, Obama has finally stretched his lead over his chief rival into the teens.

Having previously captured nearly the maximum level of support from black voters, Obama's latest gains have come from a broad spectrum of rank-and-file Democrats. At least for now, he has expanded his position as the preferred candidate of men, young adults, and highly educated Democrats, and has erased Clinton's advantages with most of her prior core constituency groups, including women, the less well-educated, and whites.

Hillary's only remaining (weak) argument for the Supers. Just don't say what it really is.

Help!  How does one get the orange box around quotes, especially of paragraph length?  I don't know what hyper text mark up language to use.  I need it pretty simple too.

Many, many thanks.

Suppose you scrub your ethical skin until it shines, but inside there is no music, then what? Kabir

and bad at math besides.

I for one welcome our new Twitter overlords. @Omir55

Hillary opened with a nice statement re Ted Kennedy - he's always been here for us, so now we're here for him.

"If you look for the social economic motive, you will not have to wait for history to tell you what was propaganda and what was truth." - George Seldes

I can't believe her supporters were sitting there cheering each time she mentioned one her goalpost moving lines.  

~~~THIS SPACE FOR RENT~~~

Clinton won. Zzzzzzz...

We just gave another $150 at a wine tasting FR. And guess what?

There was also brie!!!! ((Gasp))

We'll have to cross the street for lattes. And we're on DuPont Circle--San Francisco east, for sure!

But whatever...CNN just reported that Obama reported 200K NEW donors!

This was not a good day today, so I'm gonna celebrate w/ some good folks. Cheers!

Can't hear ya, Peach!

Hillary's position boggles my mind.  She insists MI and FL must be counted, yet has no problem throwing overboard any state that held a caucus.  What color is the sky in her world?

Anyone have news on tonights race.  The other residents of BostonJoeVille are watching Dancing Stars.  I've got nada.

"Have you no sense of decency, sir. At long last, have you left no sense of decency?" -- Boston Attorney Joseph Welch, taking down Sen. Joseph McCarthy.

but interesting nonetheless.

rumoured potential obama running mate, gov. sebelius of kansas, just upped her liberal cred yesterday:

Sebelius vetoes bill requiring voters to show photo ID

TOPEKA | A bill requiring Kansas voters to show photo identification in 2010 elections was vetoed today by Gov. Kathleen Sebelius.

The governor also struck down another bill today that changed the way a vacancy is to be filled in the Congress. Currently, the governor appoints the replacement to fill an unexpired term of a U.S. senator or representative who resigns or dies in office. Under the bill vetoed today, an election would have been required.

That was a strong speech in Iowa.

And the secret service agents with him look totally stressed because he dove into the crowd.

Blue Tidal Wave

Hillary's campaign wins the race on debt:

$31 million debt pile, filed late so as not to take the air out of a meaningless win in KY.

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

I think the scenario of Clinton supporters claiming they'll sit out or vote for McCain should Obama get the nod is real, not the passing disappointment and anger many project. The numbers polling with that intention are too high for it all to dissipate. I find it incomprehensible a liberal/progressive/Democratic woman would pull the lever for McCain, a man if elected surely in a position to entrench 2-3 more rabidly conservative members on SCOTUS. Does it matter to these Clinton supporters the damage that would do to women's rights, the environment, civil rights, the courts down the line and generally the entire judiciary for generations to come? Evidently not. To explain they haven't thought it all out and hence their attitude says little for their intellect. They're no better than the recent votes in Appalachia primaries speak of those citizens, avoiding Obama in large numbers out of obvious racial animus. Between lacking the support of bigots and sore losers Obama may very well lose the election. That he needs the votes of such small, petty people is just as maddening. Democrats will deserve the wreckage they create if that happens.
