Hillary and Obama Bloggers Clash - DKOS Boycotted!

I have complained frequently that the liberal blogs (mydd, dkos, huffpo, tpm, etc…) and the media have shown overwhelmingly favorable and decidedly pro-Obama blogging/reporting. Now, I have no qualms with people taking up a position and sticking to it (from bloggers) but after a certain point it really just goes to far. The news media [...]

Hillary’s “Darkened” Ad

This is making the frontpage everywhere all day, so I’m compelled to drop in my two cents.
Youtube turns video to shit. You give it nice source material, it gives you garbage. In fact, it will happen to any video you stuff through a youtube-sized pipe.
Most flash-video sites use a very low bitrate (contrast quality there [...]

The Numbers

Wow - just saw this: Imagine a best case scenario, where Clinton wins every remaining congressional district by almost 25%.
Her gain? Only 110 delegates. Obama would still lead by 50 pledged delegates.
Now do you wonder why she’s fighting so hard for MI and FL to count?

Simple Math

After Hillary’s surprise (for some not me) victories in Ohio and Texas there has been a lot of post-shock spinning going on. After Hillary was out advertised and out spent in Texas and Ohio by more than 2 to 1, Hillary still pulled out a double digit victory in OH and a huge upset in [...]

Delegate Update

With 40% of caucus returns in, Obama is still up 12% in Texas. It looks like both CNN and Burnt Orange have given her a 4-delegate lead from the primaries. At best, I’d say she may be able to squeak out a one-or two delegate margin, if everything goes her way in the caucus [...]


Projection: Obama will win the most delegates in Texas

Hillary Clinton won tonight’s popular vote in Texas, but it appears as though Barack Obama will win the most delegates from Texas.
The best primary delegate analysis is this spreadsheet, being updated live by the Burnt Orange Report crew. As it stands, at 1:00, Clinton is up by only 1 delegate, despite being over [...]


Hillary Clinton Comes Back, Wins: Texas, Ohio, and Rhode Island

Hillary Clinton has turned her flagging campaign around in Texas and Ohio. Results from the Texas primary and from Ohio show Clinton will win the two states. Clinton’s Texas win was very close only 3% lead over Obama. I know I predicted it would be a 5 point lead but that wasn’t too far [...]

Obama’s short-sighted attack on Universal Healthcare

I support Hillary because I think she understands the policy issues better than most, including Obama. I also think that when push comes to shove she is the one who can deliver on the very issues that are important for me including universal health care, ending the war in Iraq, and standing up for the [...]


UT Student Paper Endorses Clinton

The Daily Texan student newspaper is apparently miffed by Obama’s snubb of the paper during the debate. The student paper at UT-Austin has endorsed Hillary Clinton. The UT Daily outlined the following major reasons for their endorsement of Hillary over Obama:

Clinton, as a seasoned politician, is the best person to clean up [...]

Obama Rally in Houston

Today, Obama began stumping deep in the heart of Texas, where he drew 19,000 suporters to a rally in downtown Houston. I imagine it would have been more, but they ran out of tickets quite quickly, and still had lots of people on standby, hoping for a chance to get in.
An hour before the [...]
