I’ve been sicker than a dog, and so has my daughter with this flu that the fricking flu shot apparently didn’t cover (first flu I’ve had in ages), but this item did catch my interest so I thought I’d pass it along. It seems Obama is quickly making up ground on Clinton’s super delegate lead:
Barack Obama has dramatically narrowed Hillary Clinton’s lead in the superdelegate race, after winning a slew of endorsements in the last week.
The Illinois senator picked up four in the past seven days, pulling to within 30 of Hillary Clinton’s lead, according to an Associated Press tally. […]
Obama has steadily been eating into her lead. In December, according to an Associated Press tally, Clinton led Obama by 106 superdelegates. In February, her lead had been cut to 87. Now she leads by only 30.
I guess that argument that Obama can’t win against McCain because he’s a black man who goes to a black church where angry black pastors preach isn’t having the effect that the Clintons thought it would. You might even be forgiven for thinking it’s having the opposite effect. Combined with the upswing in the recent Pennsylvania polls for Obama, maybe this means the Clinton campaign has finally, officially jumped the shark.
I’m watching Hillary give her emotional MLK speech on my teevee…and thinking about the last 4 weeks of her campaign.
ugh.
ps, I hope everyone feels better soon. It’s been a long winter at your house, hasn’t it?
Well, a long March and early April, that’s for sure.
Let’s hope so…. the tide does seem to be turning, one or two superdelegates at a time. And several of Clinton’s supers have been saying that they will change if Obama has the lead in pledged delegates and popular votes. So the sand is also sifting away under the foundations too.
(Hope you and your daughter feel better soon!)
Hi Steven D. take care. Be well soooon.
Hillary can’t catch a break.
She’s facing her Waterloo.
two articles this a.m. that’ll bring some hurt to Hillary:
Penn’s partner, Charlie Black is on the McCain wagon.
is this attack on Obama from the president of Colombia coming right after the meeting with Penn, and it’s absence of criticism of Hillary Cinton, although she publicly claims to also oppose the same trade agreement…
don’t wait for Hillary to “denounce and reject”
Penn says he’s sorry. an error of judgement
but the union, SEIU is not satisfied, not waiting: (via Ben Smith)
I say this helps Obama close the gap in PA and Indiana.
a big mistake for camp Hillary.
should be the
newreal campaign slogan.parse away mofo’s, ’cause you’ve blown it…big time
yeah, you’re in sync with New York Post
HILLARY IS ONE BIG ‘MIS’TAKE
DENIES DENIAL AFTER ‘MISHEARING
“April 4, 2008 —
WASHINGTON – First she “misspoke,” now she misheard.”
The Colombian govt. resorts to violence and murder to bust up unions, at least when Walmart busts up unions, they don’t kill anyone….as far as I know. Maybe we can ask Hillary.
hate america?

He also won by a landslide in 90% white Kansas.
Hillary is famous for being famous.
She is also famous for being a facile liar.
She is famous for being a closet conservative and making people believe that she is for the common folks.
She has made a career out of being on both sides of an issue at the same time.She is for NAFTA/Against NAFTA, for the War/Against the War,for women’s rights/for the “Family” the rightwing Christian group that believes that a woman’s place is in the kitchen.
On matters of importance there is no ambiguity.She believes in torture applied to people with the right skin color,waging nuclear war against “those” people (Iran),wantonly killing and maiming Palestinians to teach “them” a lesson.
On matters of money, she and Bill have been the biggest hypocrites of all.At a time when they announced they made over $100 million dollars over the past seven years (The Bush years), they have made us believe that they can empathize with the plight of common people.
Like the British say, they run with the hares and hunt with the hounds.
The odds are looking slimmer and slimmer for Clinton. We’ll probably have a nominee [Obama] within a few weeks, if not sooner.
Feel better Steven D and family!

Here’s a link to a superdelegate who has a blog. Seems like a nice guy….
I hope that you and your daughter feel better, Steven.
Steven, for you and your daughter, a shamanic technique for the flu.
(1) Sit quietly. take four of five deep breaths.
(2) Take hands, separate them by 12 – 15 inches.
(3) Have them face each other, and slowly move them
towards each other and then back. As if you were
playing an accordion.
(4) When you feel resistance between them, like a
gentle force field, move your hands around your
upper torso spreading this energy around your head
and chest.
(5) Repeat every two/three hours. Should alleviate
flu symptoms as this light electro pulse energizes
your immune system.
(6) Put another way, this technique cleanses your
aura.
(7) Best to do this before the flu hits or at the
onset of the condition.
(8) I never get a flu shot anymore. And, I never get
sick. At 74, my health is superb.
Good luck and good breathing.
“Yourself is the only self that yourself has. Take care of it.
That is cool and I’m going to try it!
Who would have thought they’d release them on a Friday afternoon? Pfft..
At this point in the campaign, it looks more like playing leapfrog with the shark.
