2 voted but there was no campaign: MI and FL
5 haven’t voted yet: TX, OH, PA, IN, and NC
5 have voted for Obama: IL, WA, MO, VA, and GA
and 5 have voted for Clinton: CA, NY, NJ, MA, and TN
The whole “Big State” thing is a myth.
Yeah, there’s some stupid spin floating around (from all sides) this cycle, but this is probably the dumbest. And it’s compounded by people who either wilfully disregard reality or simply don’t know better by saying “Obama can’t win big swing states.”
Of those “big states” that already had real contests, the only ones that are “swing” states are Washington, Missouri and Virginia. And Obama won all three of those, two of them by massive margins.

Sure, being a male college student in a fraternity has its perks, but my dating life was largely unfulfilling and chock full of only episodic adventures. I rehearsed different situations over in my head. If there’s a lag in the conversation, I planned to just bring up a blacking out story. And... more

AP story: Deletion a proxy for correction?From: americannonsense.com Post Date: 2008-03-04 13:55:21 Yesterday, I noted an AP story on the recent contempt of Congress vote that, well… had a few problems.
In the least troubling of the errors, the reporter — Laurie Kellman — misidentified Rep. Jon Porter (R-NV) as a Democrat.
OK, not such an awful mistake. At least, not by itself. And the AP’s Director of Media Relations, Paul Colford, e-mailed to point out that the AP had in fact already put out a corrected version of the article.
But Kellman didn’t... more  Midday open threadFrom: americannonsense.com Post Date: 2008-03-04 13:55:20
Tonight’s schedule, with pledged delegates in parenthesis):
Vermont (15), 7 p.m. ET
Ohio (141), 7:30 p.m. ET
Rhode Island (21) 9 p.m. ET
Texas (193) 9 p.m. ET, but El Paso is in a different time zone, so closes an hour later. And, to make things extra complicated, the caucuses begin after the polls close.
Vermont will get called quickly for Obama. The rest should take a while to report winners. And Texas, sheesh, that one will be conf... more  Pushing Clinton from the raceFrom: americannonsense.com Post Date: 2008-03-04 13:55:19 The Obama campaign may be planning ahead (something the Clinton campaign never thought of, apparently), but it’s clear that they’re also paving the way for a serious push to knock Clinton out of the race this week.
First off is the developing CW , from the very astute Charlie Cook:
NBC political analyst Charlie Cook writes in his CongressDaily column, “[W]inning by slight percentages in Texas and Ohio aren’t real wins for Clinton. A ‘win’ would... more
