All I know, is that I'm too young to remember much of anything about Carter, and that I'm also not really that young.

Greg -- You have completely missed the insanity of Lanny Davis's proposal. Let me break it down:

Total Michigan Delegates: 128

Davis wants to give Clinton 73 of those delegates on the basis of the renegade MI primary vote.

This leaves 57 left to be allocated.

Of those 57 he wants to allocate them according to a pre-Jan 15 poll. Even if you split the remaining 57 delegates 50/50 Davis's proposal is nothing short of highway robbery.

If Davis got his way then Clinton would come out of Michigan with around 100 delegates and Obama would have around 30.

In short, he'd convert a 55-45% vote for Clinton into a 75-25% Clinton delegate advantage.

These days nobody in San Francisco would dress or style their hair that way.

Never mind Obama's down-ballot coattails -- those might be some serious up-ballot coattails!

Oh, neglected to say one thing.

The opening picture of Obama -- look at the lines on his forehead. It's clearly supposed to make him look like a devil with horns.

So, yeah, the ad equates Obama with Satan.

I don't know if anyone else picked up on this, but it struck me immediately. I don't know whether the "yes we can" audio has been manipulated or especially made, but its cadence and tone is very unusual. When people chant that at rallies it is a bit drawn out; people tend to pause slightly between each word. But in that audio it's all sped up and the pitch is very deep and grating. In fact, it sounds like it was recorded with old, somewhat scratchy audio equipment. The audible effect is that the sound of the chant is made to seem very reminiscent of old recordings of chants at Third Reich rallies. My suggestion is obviously that this was intentional.

Anyway, did anyone else notice this?

"I think we've been for the last seven years seeing a tremendous amount of government power and elite opinion behind policies that haven't worked well for hard working Americans."

The Left can be really, truly self-destructive.

I'd like to know how exactly Hillary Clinton plans to win Ohio and Pennsylvania with a black vote that's angry and alienated and stays home in large numbers after the superdelegates steal the nomination for her ...

Clyburn is right. People should be listening to him.
