I heard that if you say it three times, she materializes directly behind you and decapitates you with a half drunk 5 liter box of white zinfindel. I would still prefer this to watching 30 seconds of her discussing the latest injustice on American Idol. Don’t worry Duros, you can say it once.

Saroff Wed, 05 Mar 2008 18:05:17 +0000 http://improveman.com/ow2008/?p=3992#comment-56259 I absolutely agree that the plagiarism stuff is bullshit. OTOH, Obama deliberately going "Harry and Louise" was worse, and on any abstract merits. It's a campaign, people will get nasty. What's more, both candidates are connected to the Chicago area, so they won't be doing it with their pinkies sticking out. I haven't harped on campaign tactics, instead, I've harped on things like Goolsbee disavowing the NAFTA talk, Hillary employing a man who makes money Union Busting (Penn), the Donnie McClurkin dogwhistle, the architect of the subprime debacle (Pritzger) being the campaign fanance chair, etc. These are differences in policies. The people wringing their hands over whether the lettering on pajamas, or how a video still looks, are busy gazing at their own navels and pig-fighting. Truth be told, I'm surprised at the legs that the Goolsbee story has. I absolutely agree that the plagiarism stuff is bullshit.

No more charges of plagiarism, 'kay? As to the “3am ad”, except for the amusement of Althouse flipping out, it’s really pretty mild.

Saroff Wed, 05 Mar 2008 15:30:47 +0000 http://improveman.com/ow2008/?p=3992#comment-56257 I gotta go with a post by cscs on TPM Cafe, "<a href="http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/2008/03/obama-and-clinton-supporters-m.php" rel="nofollow">Obama and Clinton Supporters Must Drop Out of the Race</a>". Both of you are well past tiresome on this. Also gotta agree with <a href="http://mithras.blogs.com/blog/2008/03/after-the-prima.html" rel="nofollow">Mithras's assessment</a> that sexism is a factor in a lot of this. I have a friend who cannot talk about Clinton without using the term, "That Bitch", and it goes over just fine with the Obama crowd when he says it. As to the "3am ad", except for the amusement of Althouse flipping out, it's really pretty mild. Also see the report on TPM from the Ohio reader, who said that it was the entire "Goolsbee saying that the NAFTA talk was just talk" that drove people to vote for Hillary. If Obama cannot deal with Hillary, McCain will eat him up alive. Listen, I post about Clinton and Obama frequently, and Goolsbee is a favorite whipping boy of mine, but I also post about the economic meltdown, the corruption of Bush and His Evil Minions™, aviation and technology news, etc. All you and Taylor Marsh are doing are wrestling in the mud, and you are both getting dirty. If you want someone to wrestle with Marsh, how about Jessica Alba? I gotta go with a post by cscs on TPM Cafe, “Obama and Clinton Supporters Must Drop Out of the Race“.

It's hard not to watch. The bizarre thing is that even if Clinton did end up in the positive for delegates for the day (and that would be her first day yet with more delegates than Obama), she won't end up with more in the month of March (not after Wyoming and Mississippi, although I'm sure they'll say they don't count).. The only contests left in which she will even compete are Pennsylvania, Indiana, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Puerto Rico. If she continues until the convention, she'll end up down 150-200 in pledged delegates. There's no chance she can overcome anything over ~60 w/superdelegates alone. So she's going to run the party into the ground, but for what? Does she even have a plan to take this away from Obama? Basically, the big winner for the night is McCain. And maybe Limbaugh and Hewitt. All Clinton has proved is that in her strongest states (the FIREWALL), she can edge out Obama as long as she has help from McCain...

If you look where Hillary drew her votes, it's in the rural areas of Texas and Ohio that traditionally vote for the GOP. If I were a Republican (and I'm not), and I was forced to choose between Republican and Republican lite, I wouln't go for the watered-down version in November. A Hillary win now = a McCain win in November. I don’t think tonight’s losses by Obama mean anything.
