Clinton won't lift a finger for down ticket dems.

"Obama has give one gzillion dollars to superdelegates" whine. Of course he has! He actually wants Democrats to be elected!

....Dems. But she'll be much less effective than Obama in the purple districts of the red states.
I take that back. She won't lift a finger to help downticket Dems in red states, because they don't really count.

Obama came to Missouri TWICE in 2006 to GOTV and fundraise for Claire.
Clinton came once & held a fundraiser for HERSELF!
Gag!

...for re-election to the Senate.
There wasn't enough money for Clinton in New York; she had to travel to the much wealthier state of Missouri. She needed to raise a huge war-chest to fight off the Republican challenge in 2006.
The money she siphoned out of Missouri was the crucial difference in Clinton's narrow 67% - 31% victory in notoriously purple New York.

It's one of those states the Dems can't afford to lose in 2008!

....Clinton has demonstrated that she can win in California.
California has only gone blue for the Dems in each of the last 4 Presidential elections.
Can Obama really hope to prevail there?

fuck up that Hillary got the vote here. Too many absentee voters and the Mexican community didn't understand Obama's strength and for some reason an allegiance to the Clintons.
Let's have a do over in CA. Hillary won't do so good.
No matter how cynical I get, it's impossible to keep up.

....it's mainly because she had the backing of the LA mayor and his machine.

verifiable receipts of Rezko campaign donations. That's another story that got buried. Not to mention that he is costing the citizens of LA millions for the special LAPD detail that goes with him on all the Hillary campaign stops.

on the California ballot - they got a lot of votes that would have gone to Obama.

"A lot of the states he's winning are states that we're not going to win in November," said Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. (D-N.J.), a Clinton supporter. "It's not a strategy that bodes well, in my opinion."
50-state strategy doesn't bode well. That's rich.

she knows she's toxic.
Meanwhile BHO was highly sought after by other campaigns in 2004 and 2006.
People complained that Obama didn't campaign in person for Ned Lamont, but O's in-person campaigning for Jim Webb got him crucial AA support that might have tipped the scales in NoVa and helped deliver the D Senate majority.
Politics is like driving. To go backward, put it in R. To go forward, put it in D.Give to Populista's Obamathon 2.0!

concerning just who has the better chance of winning in November. I am afraid HRC's plan to win in November will be a 180 degree reversal of the Dean 50 state plan that has worked wonders for Democrats across America, with Foster's election tonight being another example of the wisdom of Dean's 50 state plan.

at the top of the ticket and who they want to campaign with them, the choice is clear.
The superdelegates should listen to that!

for Foster.
He would have lost.

Does he automatically become one? Upping their number by one, and upping the number needed for nomination to 2026? And, does he add another superdelegate to the Obama column right away?
Enquiring minds want to know!
John McCain voted against health care for kids.
by Land of Enchantment on Sat Mar 08, 2008 at 07:55:55 PM PDT
Thoroughly discussed in another thread. The rules are such that the Democratic Congressional delegation confirms him as a superdelegate and he becomes ones. A formality.
And, he's already endorsed Obama.

Add one more to the Obama total.
