If Obama does not win mississippi by double digits (10 points or more) than it is not going to look good for him.....

And don't forget that InsiderAdvantage a few days back had the race tighter 46% to 40%

Republicans and Independents can vote today in the democratic primary......whites to out number blacks in that state........

I believe he will win but it could be by single digits.

And I'm sure he will do just as well in the fall. I'm beginning to suspect that the better he does in any particular state primary or caucus the worst he will do in the fall.

I'll take one delegate and a popular vote landslide. After all, Hillary's only hope is a popular vote victory. Of course, this isn't going to happen:

voter registration ended 30 days ago - crossover votes from Indies and Repubs could be lower. I bet we see a margin similar to Wisco.

Greatest. Shirt. Ever.

SHOCKED! SHOCKED!

ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED!

Geraldine, couldn't have done it without ya!

More on Rezko/Obama connection.

This is an odd place for this comment but I have to get this idea out of my head: I know there is question with Spitzer and how Clinton carefully disposes of the issue, but that I do not think that is where problems could surface. I know this is pushing it--the longer a sex scandal stays in the news cycle the worse for the Clinton campaign. You cannot tell me Democrats will be gently reminded of the scandal the Clinton's were forced to endure. It may be nothing, but it might not.

Up by 14 in MS? All I can say is that Obama is lucky as hell to be a black man! I know I am - how else do you think I scored the starring role in Cutting Da Mustard?

Clinton/Sinbad '08 - Meet us in Pennsylvania, and if that doesn't work out, meet us in West Virginia!

I am shocked Obama's campaign has won Mississippi.
After all he played up the race card as much as possible. Senator Obama has been using the code words “hoodwink” and "bamboozle” when talking about the Clinton campaign since at least the South Carolina primary, a primary in which Obama drastically changed the racial dynamic of this campaign by garnering over 90% of the Black vote. Before this time the polls showed that Hillary Clinton had a lot more support from the black community. Wen are you people in the press going to grow enough of a spine to call Obama out on his use of racially divisive code words?

(CNN) — A senior adviser to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign called on Hillary Clinton to “repudiate” a comment by one of her top fundraisers that Barack Obama would not be a major presidential contender if he were not black.

“I think if Sen. Clinton is serious about putting an end to statements that have racial implications,” Susan Rice, an Obama foreign policy adviser, told MSNBC Tuesday, “…then she ought to repudiate this comment.”

Former New York Rep. Geraldine Ferraro, the Democratic Party’s vice presidential nominee in 1984, told the (Torrance, California) Daily Breeze that "If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept."

Ferraro, a member of Clinton’s finance committee and a top fundraiser, said the New York senator had suffered because the press "has been uniquely hard on her. It's been a very sexist media. Some just don't like her. The others have gotten caught up in the Obama campaign."

Rezko...drip..drip...drip....Pa SUSA HRC 55 BHO 36.

Clinton/Obama and has anyone seen Edwards lately.

I'm just eager to find out if the Mississippi is an important state or not according to the Clinton campaign. If she wins it, it will be a state that really matters. If she loses Mississippi, well then it's an unimportant state. The arrogance from that campaign is just stunning.

Dembillc, are you joking -- "Hoodwink" and "bamboozle" are "racially divisive code words"? As someone who has seen and used those words -- especially "bamboozle" -- in appellate legal briefs, I find that surprising. They may have a bit of a populist tinge, but racial?

Here's what the "Online Etymological Dictionary" says about the two words:

bamboozle
1703, originally a slang or cant word, perhaps Scottish from bombaze "perplex," related to bombast, or Fr. embabuiner "to make a fool (lit. 'baboon') of."

hoodwink
1562, "to blindfold," from hood (1) + wink; fig. sense of "mislead, deceive" is 1610.

John McCain has stated that he is willing to keep US Troops in Iraq another Hundred Years, Or More. Hillary Rodham Clinton thinks that means John McCain has crossed The Commander In Chief Threshold. She has endorsed him over Senator Obama.

Hillary is the new Lieberman.

We should not be shocked by comments like this comming from the Billary Camp.

For example

Pennsylvania Gov. Edward G. Rendell said this comment "you've got conservative whites here . . . who are not ready to vote for an African American candidate." He later dennounces this, but no comment from Billary was made.

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-race28feb28,0,2264192,full.story

Now you have this comment being made. I think we should expect more comments from the Billary Camp. This is why she should not be the next President because of the decisions that she is making within her own camp for not stopping these fools from making comments.

But she will not let comments go if they are coming from the Obama camp like "Monster". There was nothing bad being said here.

OBAMA '08

"(CNN) — A senior adviser to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign called on Hillary Clinton to “repudiate” a comment by one of her top fundraisers that Barack Obama would not be a major presidential contender if he were not black."

Good for BO!

I read that Rush Limbaugh is urging his listeners to go out and support Senator Clinton again, like in Texas and Ohio.

Has former President Clinton been a guest on the program today, yet?

A Limbaugh endorsement might be worth 3 points, to the Clintons.

Politics make strange bedfellows. As far as I know, the Clintons are not actively pursuing the Limbaugh endorsement, but it can't hurt.

If Obama wins by less than 10 points he is in trouble?

What gives? Talk about moving the goal posts! He keeps outscoring his primary opponent but when he loses an occasional contest or doesn't wallop his opponent, then he is at risk of losing to her?

Come again?

If things hold up as they are the only way she wins is to get 300 of the remaining 350 uncommitted delegates.

But I'll give her credit, she has redefined what "winning" and "losing" mean in Machiavellian ways.

MS. Mississippi. Not MI, that'd be Michigan. ;-)

At what point does it become illegal for Limbaugh to encourage conservatives to tamper with the Dem nomination process?

Oh well, doesn't matter anyway. Today's just another Obama freight train heading for Clinton.

Maybe she should try her "black people and small states" don't matter line. Really makes a small stater like me want to vote for her.

HIllary doesn't have periods anymore so the whole brou haha was about nothing to begin with.

too bad they didn't mention it was made by married to mob ferraro.

If Obama outperforms expectations today, will pressure from party elders be brought to bear on Clinton? After all, this is the last performance assessment on tap until Penn, meaning 6 more weeks of scorched earth unless someone puts a stop to it.

Democrats probably aren't allowed to say this, but I'm not a Democrat, so I can.

Every Democrat in the country was reminded of Bill's childish antics, by Spitzer, yesterday.

Cringe-worthy, watching his wife take that humiliating hit. Particularly for "feminists", I'd wager.

The connection is visceral, and very, very human.

Mississippi? That's one of those small states, right?

Musn't matter then. Like VT, MD, IL, GA, AL, WI, DC, LA, VA, SC, VT, DE, MO, CT, HI, WY, WA, NE, ID, MN, AK, ND, KS, ME, CO and IA didn't matter.

26 states so far to 15

Popular vote lead.

Pledged delegate lead.

These are the facts. I rest my case.

I guess my "case" was not quite rested...
