I always saw Wilson and Plame as more anti-Bush than anti-war. Wilson was upset that Bush didn't listen to his recommendations about Iraq, and then infuriated by the way his wife was treated. The war was just a means to an end - Wilson and Plame opposed the war because it could hurt Bush.

I think a partial explanation of their support for Senator Clinton is their status in Washington. She's even more establishment than Bush, and Wilson and Plame are VERY establishment.

There's one at my work. She voted for Hillary because she thinks McCain will have an easier time in the general election against Hillary.

The rest of the quote is even scarier. The "GC" person praised Senator Clinton for keeping her eye on the real objective, which is becoming President, while Senator Obama was too concerned with being right.

Maybe that's the real insight into Senator Clinton's support. Being President is more important than being right.

So you're advocating an educated guess from a web site as a valid metric?

Interesting how the two candidates have reacted to recent gaffes from their opponents.

Recently, Senator Clinton and her husband have become entangled in a false story about Bosnia. Senator Obama said nothing.

Former President Clinton was revealed to have accepted $800,000 from the government of Columbia to advocate for a free trade agreement that his wife opposes. Senator Obama said nothing.

Senator Obama uses a poor choice of words to describe how some people in Pennsylvania feel bitter toward their situation. Senator Clinton brings it up repeatedly, calling him elitist, casting his statements as demeaning, charging he is out of touch.

The tenor of the two campaigns is so different. I feel strongly that the superdelegates are looking past the rhetoric to the demeanor of the candidates in determining who they want to support.

I completely agree. I don't care at all about how her laugh sounds, but I care a lot about when it happens. She's done it before - in one of the debates - when she got a question she didn't want to answer. Her laugh is a pattern - she's trying to show that the question is silly - but in reality she doesn't want to anwer it.

I find it interesting that the Vice President was able to listen to Pastor Wright's comments, and comment on them, but "hasn't gotten into the business of trying to judge how Senator Obama dealt with it." That's convenient.

Did anyone save the "leaked" memo from the Obama campaign that projected the primaries/caususes after the February 5 contests? I remember a news item that said the predictions were remarkably accurate, save for Maine, that had Senator Clinton winning, when Senator Obama actually won.

If someone still has that memo, what did it say about Pennsylvania? Given its accuracy so far, I would rely on it instead of all the daily polls.
