LATE EDITION (CNN) :
Watch bot FNS and MTP this morning...Juan Williams have Obama nailed, he is probably the only black commentator who got the issue right - it is not guilt by association, it is not about racial relationship in this country but rather it is the judgement on why Obama is taking his children to this church, staying in this church for 20 yrs...voters are asked to vote for Obama because of his “better judgement” but what kind of judgement of he exercised in his 20 yrs sitting in the pews of Wright’s church.
On MTP, I get the sense the PeggyN is drifting towards Obama, she’s one of the writers I really like and will be very saddened if she get caught by the Obama the Messiah web.
The most interesting observation though is from Chuck Todd, he said the “D-day” for the dems will be early May - the Indiana, North Carolina primaries...If Clinton sweeps both Obama will be in big trouble...if Obama wins both (very unlikely because Indiana), Clinton will be out...so all eyes on the NC primary...for operation Chaos - I think NC will be one place to watch..unaffilated voters are allowed to vote there and registerations are ongoing and last till April 11..
Even if Clinton sweeps both Indiana and NC, she will never catch Obama with pledged delegates..but she will get enough ammunition for the Superdelegates to get real nervous wrt Obama...and Obama is a more beatable candidate now vs McCain than he was just 10 days ago...so it is an interesting situation here...the dems will split the party if the SuperDs go for Clinton, but the longer the Clintons hang on and beat the crap out of Obama in the primaries, the more likely Obama would make a mistake, mispoke or whatever, and become just another politician - no longer the Messiah like...and seriously if IN and NC goes for Clinton and Obama couldn’t win more than a third of the white votes, you could count on the media to talk about the Wright issue again...and it really doesn’t take much to have this Wright issue be a permanent damaging factor to Obama in the general election.
It's the only case they can make. They will be trailing in pledged delegates going into the convention.
The rules of the game are to tally up delegate and superdelegate votes at the convention. Obamaites are saying if the Clintons get the superdelegates to vote for her, when he has one more regular delegates, that that’ll be unfair insider trickery.
That's the current perception, i.e., Hillary will have to steal the election using super delegates to win. Pelosi and other party leaders have already said that whoever has the largest number of pledged delegates should win. In this case, perception is reality.
But if Hillary can rack up enough of the popular vote to say that no, the superdelegates are actually just righting the injustice of the delegate count not having reflected the majority—and the superdelegates are just as much a part of the process as the regular delegates—then the superdelegates will be bringing about the rightful result.
Obama and black voters will never accept such "sophistry." They will blame the result on racism since most of the super delegates are white.
Just watched Laura Tyson and Grover Norquist duke it out on CNN with a familiar face from CBS.
Laura was outraged that Grover got to talk! After all it is CNN!
But it was a classic debate between the sky is falling rat who wants the govt. to solve all the problems and a free market capitalist, Grover, who simply says keep govt. out and return the people's money.
Of course Grover is always wrong and the libs are always right,because govt. is always the answer in the world of socialism/communism.
Milano e Roma, darling.
Hahahaha!
They are now discussing Mrs. Clinton’s liberalism coming from her Methodist church.
What do you expect from Noonan, she’s part of the District of Corruption Whine and Cheese Crowd. She goes to all the A list parties so she has to be so PC.

Oy...Vice President Lindsey Grahamnesty.
I still say the dems biggest worry about upsetting the black voters is a false alert.
It's like the Rinos upsetting us, we got bussed over just like the blacks will get thrown under as well if necessary.
John asks—Does Mrs. C. radiate integrity? The Group is stumped. There is massaging and all kinds of things that people do in public life—says Eleanor. Huh?
Will they stay home in enough numbers to lose it for hill or deflect to the other liberal in the race, McCain.
I had the mute button on but was astonished over how full of herself she looked...as if she practiced her segments in front of a mirror.
More from Otis’s “Easter Sermon” on “lynching by the media”. Calls the mainstream RNN — the Roman News Network and compares what was done to the Rev Wright to the crucufication of Jesus Christ.
I am NOT joking; this is what was reported on FNC. This from the church that Senator Barak Obama belongs too.
These people are more than hate-mongers, they are crazey.
Now, you're starting to get it.
I was at a conference week before last where Ollie gave a keynote. It was very interesting. He got a few standing ovations which was a surprise given the audience. The one thing he said that bugged me was his stance on energy. He has jump the shark and become a “green”. Frustrating.
The irony of the whole situation is that McCain may be the strongest candidate we have had in decades??
