Filed in Uncategorized by on May 4, 2008 • 19 Comments

One of our new commenters, Truth Teller, had a gem in the Hillary-pandering post a few days ago. I noticed that Obama knocked her plan but failed to tell us what his plan. Another great speech but no solutions I love how Truthy wants us to believe that Hillary is all making a proposal that […]

Florida provides a very interesting case study for us. They were eliminated from being involved in nominating the Democratic Presidential candidate. So to a degree they are an unvarnished example of Hillary’s starting point. None of the candidates campaigned there (except for ads that were run there as a result of some national advertising package). […]

So while you hear the media spin last night and this AM re: Hillary’s win, let’s remember a couple of things here: 1. Primaries are about winning delegates, and the Dems award their delegates in a proportional manner. Hillary may have earned 12 -14 delegates over Obama, but she still cannot catch up to him […]
