MyDD used to focus a lot more on policy, and I think, after the primary wars subside, it will be a great wonky site once again. :)

improving her response on mountaintop removal as well, recognizing the wide-ranging economic impacts.

Corrected, rightfully. Goddard put up a link earlier saying otherwise, but that has been pulled. My apologies.

Now, onto the other 6 outlandish claims...

She may gain, 50, 40, or even 12 delegates!

From Rasmussen Daily Tracking:

2/01: Hillary 43% - Obama 37%

2/15: Hillary 40% - Obama 48%

3/01: Hillary 43% - Obama 45%

3/15: Hillary 45% - Obama 46%

3/20: Hillary 43% - Obama 46%

Yeah, there has been some movement, and Obama was temporarily damaged by the Wright flap, but his support is solid.

He is saying that he knew Wright has made controversial comments, but that he was not present for the "God Damn America for killing innocent people" bit.

The Sigificant ones

Where to start?

Claim #1: She has won major states

First, this has litle/no correlation to winning in the general election.
Second, if you still insist on going by that false metric, Obama has won "major" states to (VA, WA, TX, GA)

Claim #2: is primed to win more states

Claim #3:especially the key state of PA
The best electoral analysis online is at fivethirtyeight.com, and their general election average for PA stands at

Obama +1.7     Clinton +0.6

Most polls show that PA will be competitive no matter who the Dem nominee.

Claim #4 she has support from more Dems within core constituencies than Obama:

BWAAHAhahA! Like...the ones that support her!? She's behind in the primary vote. You know that?

Claim #5: she raises $1 million a day
Nope. She only raised $22 mil in Febuary.Obama raised $55 mil.

Claim #6: and Obama has not been fully vetted, as we've all tragically seen in the past week.
While Obama may have been "vetted," all the people he's ever known apparently have not. If you'd like me to link to videos of preachers that Hillary has taken council with, I'd be glad to.

....blah blah blah

Its Easter weekend, AND her Senate office closed at noon for Good Friday today.

I'd like her to drop out and everyone get behind Obama as much as anyone, but I don't think you can read much into the "long weekend in NY."

My two cents.

In that voter count?

He's spoken out against MTR in DC and KY, but its not in his energy platform yet.

This, to me, is almost one of those "line in the sand" issues. Even John McCain has indicated that he would help stop MTR. I don't understand how Hilary Clinton could take the Bush position. I really don't, and I hope her position on MTR improves.

You basically didn't watch the speech

And I've been waiting to hear a politician give this speech my whole life.
