The thing is I heard that people are always telling Hillary "why are you being so detailed and smart in outlining your policy points and not huffing and puffing and giving a rousing speech instead?" Also, "do you really need to be that attractive and personable--won't that alienate some of the voters?" To which she basically said--"this is who I am. It may cost me votes, but I don't care. Because this is who I am."
 
Huh.....Chuck Todd just revealed something I didn't know....some presidents of Labor Unions are Superdelegates.....that's kinda shady.
 
Newsweek: Can the Muslim Smear Hurt Obama?
Take Vicki Hercsky, 47, a teacher from Boca Raton, Florida. "Obama, I don't even know how he got where he is," she told me after a Rudy Giuliani event late last month. "Why do you say that?" I asked. "He's Muslim," she replied, matter-of-factly. I stammered. "Well, um, his father was raised Muslim but was an agnostic by the time Barack was born," I said. "Obama is a Christian." Hercsky wasn't swayed. "Yeah, but he has it in his blood," she said. "You can't take away what's given to you. It's given to you for a reason, and that's who you are. That's who he is." I'm not sure what she meant by "it," or "who he is"--and I'm not sure I want to know.

I hope there aren't a lot of people who think like this

Back in October 2007, Clinton was beating Obama in Maine by a hilarious 47 to 10 margin, but it seems he's carried the state today, once again by a large margin. My understanding, though, is that this doesn't really count because it's a small state, much as Utah doesn't count because there aren't many Democrats there, DC doesn't count because there are too many black people, Washington doesn't count because it's a caucus, Illinois doesn't count because Obama represents it in the Senate even though Hillary was born there, Hawaii won't count because Obama was born there. I'm not sure why Delaware and Connecticut don't count, but they definitely don't.
Realistically, Clinton seems to have difficulty winning anywhere she can't mobilize racial polarization in her favor. Obama has, of course, deployed polarization to his benefit in a number of states (South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana most notably) but he's also dominated the states with very few black voters.
UPDATE: I forgot about Missouri. Obama's win in Missouri, of course, doesn't count because the state was called too late.

I like the comments:

According to franly0 at Drum's place, Missouri doesn't count because it borders Obama's state of Illinois.

Closest they've been this whole time. Tomorrow once the final Super Tuesday bump fades off, the streams should be crossed and bad things happen.

Yeah, I agree, it really is the retirement place of choice for New Yorkers.

Hey!! Why New Yorkers? There are a lot of Obama supporters over here, but sadly there are even more blind Clinton supporters that will support Hilary only because of Bill Clinton and many of them can't tell me a single thing that Hilary has done.

I do, but they don't. In fact going a step further a great deal of the bill clinton supporters here in New York ONLY know about the lewinsky scandal and like him because of that. If you asked to list a single policy or piece of legislation that Bill has signed they couldn't tell you.

I'm a die hard NY Obama fanatic, there's more of us here than you'd think. We took 40% away from the Wicked Witch. That's not bad for her home turf.

It was actually a post aimed more at this propensity for labeling states as racist and bigots, a truly silly practice. Although there are a TON of New York retirees in Florida, it's kinda why Giuliani thought he had a chance this whole time:P
