Quote of the Month
Via Political Radar at ABC News:
“Right now, among all the primary states, believe it or not, Hillary’s only 16 votes behind in pledged delegates,” said Bill Clinton, “and she’s gonna wind up with the lead in the popular vote in the primary states. She’s gonna wind up with the lead in the delegates [from primary states].”
“It’s the caucuses that have been killing us,” he added.
Bill Clinton’s decision to flatly predict that his wife will finish ahead of Obama in the pledged delegates and popular vote which come strictly from primary states comes as his wife’s advisers concede that the former first lady will not be able to catch Obama in the total number of pledged delegates.
For several years, I considered Bill Clinton the reigning champ at figuring out how to run a winning campaign, no matter the odds. This primary season has disabused me of that notion, with the constant complaints about the process I thought he’d mastered. It’s not caucuses that have done Clinton in. It’s Obama’s better organization that has won those caucuses and more than half the delegates in the primaries, too.
Arguing for rule changes midway is the only strategy left, and it’s proving to fall on deaf ears. So I went back and looked at the numbers to realize Clinton’s pretty average as a national campaign and sure eough, in every national race, the Clintons have yet to break 50% , or a majority of all the voters.

The Neo-Con are Mainstream Media.
Chris Mathews, Keith Olbermann, Joe Scarborough, and Chuck Todd all play ball on the same team. But, Chuck Todd is hiding behind that old theorem not to shoot the messenger. With a little study one can perceive that in those ancient times when messages were delivered by human envoys, but, in modern usage, the expression still refers to any kind of punishment meted out to the person bringing bad news, yet has taken on an ironic dimension as well. Now, any adverse reaction, even one as mild as a raised eyebrow, could prompt a protest against shooting the messenger. Or those on the Media? Think again?
Well Mr. Todd messengers did not think back then. Those messengers did not operate 24×7 in the public electromagnetic domain licensed to report and inform the public. Rather than cracking off about the who, what, where and more so many paradox’s it sounds like Merlin the magician fore seeing eternity but there is a muffler attached. Here, hells bells against Hillary and fire balls of political catalytic contextual slip stream condemning democrats on every issue. Everyone on MSNBC is part of the three ring circus of modern Mainstream Media. Messengers far from it, they are the new wave of politics. “The Mainstream Media Theocracy” and there is no freedom of speech here buck-oo, just Arab- Petro-dollars pushing it all.
Chris has so many balls in this pole it looks like a lottery no Democrat can win.
