Take a stroll with me the rest of the way:
Barack Obama now has 1,870 total delegates. He needs 155 more to clinch the nomination, but he needs only 135 to keep Hillary Clinton from reaching the nomination. Here’s how he gets them:
May 10 · I wonder if Paul Krugman is aware that he is paraphrasing the talking points used by Paul Begala on CNN this week?
Video included.
“We cannot win with eggheads and African-Americans,” Begala warned, which got an animated rise out of Brazile, yielding laughter and applause from those in CNN’s studio.
CNN host Campbell Brown chimed in, saying of Obama, “Why hasn’t he been able to yet?”
Responded Brazile, “Do you think that Barack Obama would be leading in the pledged votes, the d
May 11 · Anyone who reads DU today knows the score. In our simplistic world, West Virginia has been a very naughty state and that is why Santa has filled its stocking with lumps of coal. Oregon, on the other hand, is the most supremely wonderful state in all the land.
Why? Because Clinton is favored to win the West Virginia primary and Obama is favored to win the Oregon primary. And every other reason cited is a load of bullshit.
I. Some things people may not know about West Virginia.

On not getting over it
Andrew Koppelman
A few days ago, Justice Antonin Scalia, asked again about the charge of partisanship in the Supreme Court’s decision in Bush v. Gore to hand the presidency to George W. Bush, declared, “Get over it. It’s so old by now.” I’d like to examine the logic of this epigram, which has become something of a mantra among the decision’s defenders.

There are times when “get over it” is kind and friendly advice. If
May 10 · Our “mainstream” news media has shown little or no interest in covering actual issues of importance to the American people during the current Presidential campaign season. As Jamison Foser of Media Matters :
Through 17 debates this year, roughly 1,500 questions have been asked of the two parties’ presidential candidates. But only a small handful of questions have touched on the candidates’ views on executive power, the Constitution, torture, wiretapping, or other civil liberties concerns….
May 10 · As the Primary War rages on in the land of Democratica, the Republican nominee, John McCain, continues to speak his message into the wrong end of microphones across the nation, unabated and unchallenged.
This state of affairs does not bode well for our party’s chances to capture the White House, along with an increased majority in the House and the Senate. Let’s not forget that the odds of McCain becoming our next president cannot possibly be over-estimated, given the advantages he enjoyed e

May 09 · I have been watching very little TV lately, but today I made an effort to go and watch when I saw a posting here that caught my interest. What Clinton's campaign is doing, not just in her own words, but in Bill's words, in the words of her surrogates on TV....
What they are doing is deliberately spreading anger among us, using racist code words on purpose.
The people speaking for her like McAuliffe, Lanny Davis, Ki Ki what's her name, and so many others.... use talking points that are s
May 10 · (Warning:If you are humor-challenged or can't see the video, just stop reading now - your blood pressure will thank me later)
Ok, so let's just be the first to admit it. The Democratic Nominee for President in 2008 is a Nig....!
Just listen to Hillary Clinton.
“I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on,” she said in the interview, citing an article by The Associated Press.
It “found how Senator Obama’s support among working, hard-working Americans, white Amer
May 09 · There are many who accuse those of us on the left end of the political spectrum of being partisan ideologues who are simply unable to understand where the other side is coming from.
But some of us do understand where the other side is coming from, some of us understand it far too well.
I understand right-wing ideology because I used to be a right-wing ideologue. I started my political life as a Libertarian, and for a while I believed very strongly in Libertarian principles. I was told a
May 09 · {1} Strange Days: The Doors
Strange days have found us
Strange days have tracked us down
They're going to destroy
Our casual joys
We shall go on playing
Or find a new town
Yeah!
Strange eyes fill strange rooms
Voices will signal their tired end
The hostess is grinning
Her guests sleep from sinning
Hear me talk of sin
And you know this is it
Yeah!
Strange days have found us
And through their strange hours
We linger alone
Bodies confused
Memories misused
