Um, Billy Graham is dead.

How exactly did McCain manage to meet with him?

Stephanopolous's excuse for why he won't ask the same kind of asinine questions is going to be that Obama, as the nominee, won't raise these kinds of stupid issues because he's playing a different kind of politics, so they won't come up, and thus don't affect McCain's electability.

Got it?

Earlier in this campaign, in a moment of good cheer and good will, I gave Senator Clinton's campaign a big check (for me) after she did well in a debate, even though I was leaning Obama at the time. I was proud of her performance on the substance and the issues, and so proud we had such good candidates.

Now I want my hard-earned money back. WITH INTEREST.

She could be gracious about his choice of words and accept his regrets and move on to her own strengths. She could conclude the campaign with class. Instead, she's trying to destroy our very-likely nominee.

The Clinton campaign is one big Ponzi scheme. They are raising money that is being spent on what they want to spend it on (new ads, new states) and leaving those who already did work for them holding the bag. And they will be left holding the bag because it is mathematically impossible for the campaign to win and thus be solvent, raise new money to pay the old creditors, etc.

Here is what a bankruptcy lawyer friend tells me:

Three creditors owed more than $5,000 each could collectively force the campaign into involuntary bankruptcy.

Any creditor, depending on the state could force the campaign into receivership until it acts responsibly.

Also, aren't the corporations that are doing unreimbursed work for the Clinton campaign making illegal corporate contributions?

Time for Bill "Show Me The Columbian Money" Clinton to "resign" from the Hillary Clinton campaign as candidate for future First Gentleman?

(idiotic, please show us some love...)

Here's a good rule of thumb: Any journalist or blogger who henceforth suggests that Mark Penn resigned, was forced out, quit, etc. or that the Clinton campaign is in a post-Penn phase is BIASED or STUPID.

All the Clinton-campaign-insider-fed spin that Hillary was "angry" with Penn, etc. is a bunch of diversionary rubbish.

Same old triangulating, deceptive, negative, say-one-thing-to-help-yourself-even-if-it's-not-what you-believe-or-are-going-to-do Hillary Clinton campaign. New window dressing.

An election where only one candidate's name is on the ballot is a Soviet-style election. It is not Democratic.

At least here, we know that some 45% of the voters in Michigan voted for someone other than Clinton (uncommitted combined with 5% for Kucinich). So we know Senator Clinton is not entitled to be the only person getting delegates from Michigan.

So 50/50 is fair when SHE AGREED NOT TO CAMPAIGN THERE and that IT WOULD NOT COUNT.

People who change the rules in the middle of a game are called cheaters. If Senator Clinton really cared about these people (as opposed to herself), she would agree that some representation in this imperfect situation is better than no representation at all.

But, we are going to keep hearing the whining for months on end.

Yet another self-indulgent act when she can't win--asking people to throw good money after bad that could better be directed toward the DNC, DCCC, DSCC, and the general election, help Democrats take power.

If Party and Country were put first what could we do? Stop climate change, fix the economy, bring us health care for all, end the Iraq War, redirect our energies to Afghanistan and northern Pakistan where the terrorists are, save the Supreme Court, etc.

But, it's all about HER.

THIS JUST IN...

Former President Bill Clinton remarked before an audience today, "Well, most folks don't understand that Hillary won more fat people who like dark chocolate, and since this is an increasingly fat nation with a preference for dark chocolate, people ought to think long and hard about the kind of nominee they want to have. I'm just saying..."

There's a word for this. It's called extortion.

And isn't this what one would expect of the big-dollar donor Clinton machine. When you can't win an election with popular votes, or pledged delegates, just defy democratic principles and threaten to walk with your money.

This is why a change candidate is so necessary--to get us out of this paradigm in which those with the gold make the rules.
