Another state
Wyoming's caucuses are today. Hillary's dismissing it as unimportant since it's only a few delegates - 12 today plus 6 superdelegates. Obama is expected to win there so of *course* she says they're unimportant. Besides, every vote counts in this country. . . . or does it??
If they permit the Michigan votes to stand, it will be a travesty of Democracy. Edwards and Obama agreed to abide by the party's edict and took their names off the ballot. Hillary did her usual fly-by of the rules and somehow got away with it - why didn't they just take her name off the ballot? or put Obama's and Edwards' on also?? Where does she get the audacity to suggest that the resulting delegate count is valid, in any way? Or shall all the "other" votes go to Obama? That would give him a hefty amount of delegates and wouldn't narrow the difference enough anyway, and it would be wrong. It's entirely possible many of those who voted for "other" meant to write Abe Lincoln's name in or anyone.
Anyway, another day another state. Will it ever end?

It's not that I really like McCain, I think he's OK and that the Reps and the country could do a lot worse. I can see how he'd be an easy man to dislike but he's a military man, he's been through the mill and doesn't put up with bs. Compare when Obama didn't like the questions at a press conference and said 'Come on guys I've answered like eight questions' and walked off, while McCain calmly answered questions at his until there were no more.
I also admire immensely how he supported GWB and the Iraq war when all the chicken littles were running around in circles. He stayed true to his principles and to the objectives of the war when the easy and popular stance would be to have joined in the chorus of opportunists and peaceniks.
So let's all support him and keep in mind the alternative should he lose.

Meantime sit back and enjoy watching the Dhimmicrats squabble, tear out hair, gouge eyeballs until their convention, then things turn nasty.
