If this just peters on until the SD's call it and we get bored with it, it will hurt us in November.

Delivering a knock-out punch after her victory speech would seal the deal in a BIG way and "embiggen" the party.

1. I don't think he'll quite make it
I've been running some simulations with the numbers and it appears that he'll fall about 20,000 votes short.

4. Russert said one of their projections had this race coming down to 1800 votes
But he didn't say which way it would go.

8. I had a relative in Georgia tell me that Obama was a "Muslin" (yep, she said it that way).
Edited on Tue May-06-08 10:35 PM by Liberal Veteran
....not a week after I pointed out to her in no uncertain terms that Obama was NOT a Muslim (or as she said "Muslin").

It was like she just jettisoned the memory of the conversation.

14. It's from the Simpsons.
Jebediah Springfield: A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man.
Edna: Embiggens? I never heard that word before I moved to Springfield
Ms. Hoover: I don't know why. It's a perfectly cromulent word.

12. He chucked it from half court and it's bouncing on the rim.
I hope it goes in -- if not, that's ok too, I'll take 32 games to 16 any day.

15. actually a very very very close loss would actually be better
the media is ready to turn on HRC campaign and a couple of silly sessions with Baghdad Bob would be worth the admission.
