Gramm, backing up his statements:

"If you listen to our leaders, we can't compete against Mexico, for God's sake," Gramm continued. "If they don't think we can compete against Mexico who can we compete against?"

How 'bout that Latino vote?

To "beg the question" has nothing to do with a situation anthromorphically begging a question. A situation never "begs the question". Begging the question as to do with circular logic and tautology...just saying.

I am slightly uncomfortable with the giftin of "uncommitted" voters 100% for Obama. It was a flawed primary, but should a board of 30 award hundreds of thousands of votes?

I am happy with the ends, but I expect backlash for the means.

Can this be over yet? After the RBC meeting...and with this being Monday morning...I just don't have the energy for anymore Obama v. Clinton. It's not even interesting anymore.

Puerto Rico felt the same way. Only 16% of the registered voters turned out; everyone has a breaking point for issue fatigue.

That's exactly what I was wondering!

Rove's firm puts out a map that says Hillary is the better candidate and you eat it up? Really? You want to use Karl Rove's advice on who to nominate? That's...I mean, really?

My comments aren't working in the new thread. Anyone else having that problem?

He has a spine and a brain! This has been so much fun.

Opportunity cost. He knows that it's done, money is better spent in Iowa, Michigan, etc. Kentucky wasn't going to vote for him in the Fall, he doesn't need their vote in the primary, so he doesn't spend the time/money in a losing effort there.

It's just shows how incredibly well thought-out his campaign strategy is; they've managed to be one step ahead of everyone else for the last year. For that matter, they're still being dynamic in their tactics, making ongoing shifts as new issues/opportunities arise. A campaign is fluid, your strategy needs to be fluid to succeed.

My family is from Morehead, KY. My great-grandfather judged a man on on two points: how he shook your hand, and whether or not he was a republican. There's a lot of people like that out there that won't be swayed, at all. At this point in the game, there's no reason to spend money in that state for the primary. Go back for the GE.
