While I'll give a little bit more credit to the old McCain, I don't think most of the stuff coming out of the administration is even half-true. And, unfortunately, the new McCain has cast his lot with the liars.

I'm sure somebody will bring up the "Senator" thing and there's the usual caution because it appears Missouri has a Republican Governor, but she sounds like a good person and I've clicked "recommend" because we could use more posts introducing us to the various candidates. (IMHO)
BTW: I agree about Edwards.
He didn't really impress with his VP performance.Posted at May 16, 2008 10:48 AM in response to U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill As Obama's VP?

It hasn't only been on this issue, but the facts do often get muddled; Hillary didn't complain. The OP quotes from a California Rep, a guy who used to work for Bill and who now works for CNN and a young lady who heads Hillary's local NOW Chapter, who made a statement that the national office distanced themselves from within just a couple of hours.

I'll agree that Virginia could be in play and now that I've looked at some data, Montana could be within the realm of possibility. Though based on my anecdotal knowledge and after looking at the most recent polls, along with the numbers from '00 and '04, I really wouldn't count on South Dakota.
Plus, SD and MT have three electoral votes apiece; CO has nine; WV, five and KY, eight: So, the whole basket of states aren't really equal.

I don't know how it'll play with the supers because I'm pretty sure of how this race ends, though maybe not for the reasons that most people cite.
Still, your point is quite valid; There's only a tiny handful of primaries left on the calendar and the front-runner isn't always emerging victorious. As I've said in a previous posts or comments, it's not like Sen. Clinton is going to suspend her campaign and suddenly everybody's going to vote for Sen. Obama.
There may be some who'll change their vote, many others who'll just skip their primary because their "vote will make no difference" and the remainder will still show-up and vote for their preferred candidate. Heck, right now McCain is still getting only 80% of his primary vote and not only is nobody running against him, but most of his opponents have already endorsed.
I really don't see any way that Obama won't be the nominee and there's nothing to stop the voters from coalescing around his candidacy, but for some reason they're not. We're just a couple from the end and both candidates still lose, so this has to be indicative of something because it all can't be the voters fault.
