Things to ponder: 1) Early exit polls in Kentucky say 41% of Clinton voters would vote for McCain in the general. 2) Should Georgia go to a mail-in only primary like Oregon? 3) Would BfD put up a fundraiser bat in order to fly me to Puerto Rico to cover their primary?

Kentucky voters must all be related to these WV voters: http://therealnews.com/web/videoframeworksjsauto.php?currentid=1507&thisautoplay=true

Ha! “She can sing the star spangled banner real good.” Yeah, that’s what I look for in my President. Maybe she should vote for Whitney Houston. Oh wait..

10 days to figure out how to get Florida and Michigan sorted out.
It’s almost no longer important to the outcome, so any solution should technically be fine. However, to give DNC the power to set a calendar in the future, there should be some sanction against the delegation. Meanwhile, there shouldn’t be totally disenfranchisement. Just a swat on the wrist of sufficient sting to let the state parties know that they screwed up. Something simple like copying the Republicans and slashing the delegation in half.

Meanwhile, you get interesting dynamics in comparing Kentucky and Oregon.
States to try and win with Obama in the lead:
VA, NC, PA, OH, WI, MI (don’t ask me why those two states are a toss-up, he should demolish in those places). Pushing against McCain hard in a block between PA / OH and VA / NC (where Obama wins with 1 of those 4 assuming WI and MI are his) has got to be able to get something, especially with a lot of strategically placed help.

We don’t need to win Appalachia to get the Presidency, but we definitely could stand to be competitive.

I think I may also feel the need to start campaigning for Bob Barr in VA and NC …
