Have you ever spent any time in Staten Island? That poll doesn't surprise me.

Is it me, or do gotalife's posts these days sort of resemble really bad haikus?

I have one for you:

My guess is that the easiest delegates to flip from Clinton to Obama are the ones who made their endorsements like a reflex action when she announced. Joe Andrew is a perfect example. He endorsed her the day she announced. You could say he did it without thinking about it. Payne was also an early endorser.

The supers who endorsed her long before a single vote was cast might strangely have an easier time switching than those who endorsed after the voting began.

As for Eric mentioning Payne's race, well that just shows me he is an immature journalist who is viewing the switch in the lens of the most recent news cycle.

I do think Lanny has one of those wind up things on his back and they spin it and just send him out to say crazy shit. CNN was crazy last night.

I am starting to think that it might be fine for her to stay in the race through June 3rd, assuming she cleans up the negative stuff and just campaigns on a positive theme.

The upside for the party is that Obama will have spent quality time in nearly every state during the primary contest and he will be in the headlines until June 3rd. One thing this race has been good for is keeping McCain's campaigning out of the news. Our party is taking up all of the oxygen every single news cycle. Assuming that Clinton can keep her powder dry between now and June 3rd, then it might work in our favor to have a presumptive nominee able to campaign on the high road for a month.

My concern is that she won't take the high road and still thinks she can be the nominee. I have no answer for that situation.

Where were you last night, pal?
Hiding out with Taylor Marsh? The other dead enders?

Go away or just transfer all of your allegiances to McCain. Your candidate will not be the nominee.

As my old friend said, Wake up and smell the vomit.

I have said that I will leave the Democratic Party and become an Independent. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't vote for Hillary. Between her, McCain, & Nader, she is the best choice. I just would have lost complete faith in the Democratic Party to the point where I could no longer be a member.

I think the proof will be in the coming days. Let's see what she says today at her hastily organized event in WVa.

I'm not holding my breath.

If the trolls want to show their avatars and concede, then I'll be only too glad to extend my hand. Can't exactly mend a fence when someone is hiding from you.

Nobody likes a sore loser.

You're welcome to send out a search party.

I'd try Taylor Marsh first, then maybe Hillary is 44 after that.
MyDD is not such a good bet tonight.
