The spousal unit is off getting the ingredients for mojitos at the moment, and I’m reflecting on the events of the day. We followed the live blog of the meeting via TalkLeft (which appears to be crashing under server load at the moment - give it some time) plus Marc Ambinder’s blogging [...]

Anyone know what happened to the “Michelle Obama Whitey Video” story? Seems like its been scrubbed from the internet. Even Liberal Rapture doesn’t have the story posted any more?
Was it a hoax?

I was in an auto accident once that was pretty bad. The most awful part was not the physical trauma, but the emotional one. I saw it coming for a long, long time. It seemed in fact to take forever. And I was helpless to get out of the way. My [...]

On the trail in South Dakota today Hillary Clinton referenced her campaign with an old Arkansas saying:
You can’t tell how far a frog will jump until you punch him.
[Update at end of diary shows what happens when you punch the frog too hard...]
I don’t know if she feels punched. I know [...]

The DNC rules committee today worked out a compromise deal on Florida that passed by a slim margin, that reflects the votes as cast, but only gives 1/2 vote to each delegate. This was opposed by many committee members because they felt for the sake of the the election in November all Floridians should be [...]

The Argument for Nominating Hillary
By LANNY J. DAVIS
May 31, 2008; Page A11
After the votes are in from Puerto Rico tomorrow and South Dakota and Montana on Tuesday, neither Barack Obama nor Hillary Clinton will be able to make a facts-based case that they represent a significant majority of grass-roots Democrats.
Chances are Sens. Obama and Clinton [...]

I was so disturbed by Father Pfleger and his assault on Hillary…I can’t even describe my emotions. Later, the anology of rape was like a personal violation. Just like with Wright, I felt Pfleger’s words on a visceral level, and they opened a lingering wound.
Obama’s surrogates were sent out in short order to announce to the [...]

Conservatives used to disparage ladies of a certain age who had a certain footwear. Now “liberals” are disparaging these “ladies of a certain age”.
Conservatives went along with organized labor as long a the cold war lasted. Groups such as Solidarity were instrumental in bringing down the iron curtain. Conservatives had little further [...]

Following Hillary’s visit to Indian Country two days ago, the Clinton campaign today announced the endorsement of 22 tribal leaders in South Dakota. These supporters will help lead the campaign’s outreach efforts in the Native American community over the next five days.
“I am honored to have the support of men and women who are proven [...]

How long will this Clinton-Obama marathon continue?
Possibly into November.
Consider this scenario:
–After the last primary election votes are counted in South Dakota and Montana June 3 just enough superdelegates declare for Obama to insure his nomination by the thinnest of margins.
–Hillary Clinton claims that the decision to exclude the Florida and Michigan delegations [...]

Obama, Pfleger, and Earmarks [UPDATED]
By Erick
Barack Obama has thrown Rev. Michael Pfleger under the bus. Pfleger took Hillary to task, claiming she felt she should win over a black man.
CBS News notes that Pfleger is “another pastor friend.”
But he’s much more than that. Pfleger and Obama have had a long relationship. Pfleger backed Obama against [...]

Editorial Board • Argus Leader • May 30, 2008
For the first time in memory, every state will play a role in choosing a nominee for the nation’s highest office.
Some of those parts are small, but not ours: as one of the last two primary elections, South Dakota Democrats suddenly and improbably find themselves in [...]

The Clinton campaign and the thousands of people who signed petitions, made calls and sent letters and emails to the DNC helped make tomorrow’s meeting happen. Whatever the outcome, everyone now agrees that the status quo is unacceptable. This is a victory for the voters of Florida and Michigan, who have a right to help [...]
