He doesn't agree with you, 99. If the standard-bearer can't get the locals to respect him, his leadership skills and credentials are an embarassment. Heh. It's McCain that's looking like the wuss.

Hmm..seems to me like McCain is watching contentedly while Hillary's attack dogs do the dirty work of destroying the competition.........one thing the Clinton dogs do with relish!

I assume that the reference to the GOP ad(s?) that McCain doesn't like is the one being run in North Carolina by a local GOP group which is running it to support their local candidates. e. They don't need McCain's permission to do that. It doesn't hurt him of course, but I'm sure...

OTOH, McCain can't get anyone to pay any attention to him with all this going on, so he's not exactly getting his share of excitement or coverage. And today Obama rightfully, IMO, chastised McCain for not being able to get the GOP to stop the ads he claims he doesn't want run. Now that translates in common sense terms to either (1) McCain has no real say or clout in the GOP yet he's their standard-bearer---a tad embarassing for all OR (2) he's just lying through his teeth...

One of the cable news stations said this morning that Clinton had taken the lead in popular votes, but I might have misheard. They were making a point of her being able to use it on the superdelegates, so that's where I got my perception from.

If you can't do better than a 37, on ten-pins no less, you have NO, NO, NO business going to a bowling alley. Heck even the two-hand tots at Cape Ann Lanes manage that.

That's not quite right Miss D. Obama still leads in popular...

What a turn around many of the pundits are taking. Fickle folks, aren't they? Even Matthews was praising her! What can't be lost on the SDs I suspect is that he throws 3 times the $$ into ads in PA and still comes up way short. Many were calling her speech the best in a long time by anyone.

What seems to be the biggest worry for Dems is that Obama just isn't connecting to the working class folks as evidenced by his lack of support from that base in all the big...
