Then, Democrat Travis Childers wins Mississippi's first Congressional District, and that means a lot for the rest of the country.

Hey Joe - so after tonight, is hillary the Queen of Kentucky, too? Yee-haw...

[JoeFelice]

Guess so!

[rhoddin]

have you been watching the latest gop ads bashing michelle obama? i saw you vid on cindy and was hoping you'd rename it and put it back on the market. what do you think? also, the latest wik. entry for cindy has so many edits(i'm quite certain this was done intentionally) it has pushed previous post to 2nd page. ever think about rewriting it? lastly, what was  your motive for making the cindy vid?

[JoeFelice]

I think going after Michelle for the proud comment is a bit flimsy, but still fair game. People will decide if that's important to them.

My Cindy vid's still getting views. About 300 last week. I made it because I was really surprised to learn that stuff. Ultimately I don't want to focus on Cindy or Michelle too much. They're not in the top reasons why I'm voting Obama.

Wikipedia editors are a different breed than me. I'm sure they'll get it worked out.

With all due respect, Corporations don't pay taxes. They simply pass the cost along to the consumer. Global warming is a hoax that Al Gore started. Climate change is a natural occurrence and if you do a search on Wikipedia, in the 70's they were going nuts about global cooling and the next ice age. Keep the videos coming....

Interesting take. I guess though that the argument that 'McCain is stronger cause he solidified the republican party, while the dems are still fighting, isn't as bad as people think. After all, Obama and Hillary are getting enormous media coverage and Obama has been sort of already campaigning against McCain for a few weeks now.

I'd like to see superdelegates have their power diminished and a little more discipline shown for following the scheduling rules, but but the sheer length of the process has been very positive. The grassroots have benefitted enormously from having their states get personal attention. Voter rolls have swelled, fundraising has exploded, and downticket candidates are riding a wave of increased interest.

The GOP missed out by making their states winner-take-all and wrapping it up early.

Typo: meant to say 'math' not 'match.' Anyways. No matter what happens the democrats need to take a long hard look at their nominating process. I'm really sick of Hillary in this primary. I used to like her but her Karl Rove campaign tactics make me want to throw up sometimes.

[JoeFelice]

Thanks Mike. You're right about that count, and the actual spread for FL and MI will be determined late this month. They're probably going to give Hillary an edge, but smaller than what she wants. It won't close the gap.

I like watching you. Good stuff man. I did my own match on pledged delegates and right now, even if you give Hillary her Michigan and Florida delegates, she still is 50 behind Obama.
