Clinton campaign chief strategist Mark Penn sent the following memo out to media outlets today:

To: Interested Parties
From: The Clinton Campaign
Date: Friday, February 29, 2008
RE: Obama Must-Wins

The media has anointed Barack Obama the presumptive nominee and he's playing the part.

With an eleven state winning streak coming out of February, Senator Obama is riding a surge of momentum that has enabled him to pour unprecedented resources into Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island and Vermont.

The Obama campaign and its allies are outspending us two to one in paid media and have sent more staff into the March 4 states. In fact, when all is totaled, Senator Obama and his allies have outspent Senator Clinton by a margin of $18.4 million to $9.2 million on advertising in the four states that are voting next Tuesday.

Senator Obama has campaigned hard in these states. He has spent time meeting editorial boards, courting endorsers, holding rallies, and - of course - making speeches.

If he cannot win all of these states with all this effort, there's a problem.

Before you read this, let it be known that I am not an Obama partisan, nor am I an anybody partisan. The first time that Clinton cried, right before her upset in New Hampshire, I thought it was a genuine display of emotion on her part. I wasn't sure if it would help her or hurt her in her drive to make the comeback, but I certainly didn't frown upon her almost-tears.

So when I heard today that Clinton cried on the campaign trail yet again today, I was more than a little bit skeptical.

MyDD's Jerome Armstrong said today about the now infamous takeover in a post titled Obama Blows into Myspace:

I can totally understand that the campaign would want to take control of the domain. The easiest solution would have been to hire Joe Anthony...to move to the campaign HQ's and start working on it there. The second easiest solution would have been to buy it from the volunteer. When that got onto the table, says Anthony:

I considered the time I had put into it from January 1st of this year, not counting the previous two years. It was about $39,000. Plus I asked that if any fees were to be paid to MySpace by the campaign up to that point in time, those should be shared with me, up to $10,000.[...] They said they didn't have any money.

[...] Yea, $49K to deliver 160,000 supporters; that's .32 cents each for opted in and engaged activsts. A bargain. [The amount was actually up to $44K] $50,000 is what it takes to advertise on the Liberal Ad Network for two weeks. It's a minor expenditure in the grand scheme of things.

There are so many things wrong with this assumption that it's crazy. This whole thing shouldn't have been a big deal.

Shocker my ass.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich equated bilingual education Saturday with "the language of living in a ghetto" and mocked requirements that ballots be printed in multiple languages.

The language of living in a ghetto. I don't get it. Hablo español, pero no vivo en un "ghetto." This is flustering my inferior bilingual mind. Sígame después del salto. Follow me after the jump.

My my, what interesting parallels we can draw. Today we had two high profile figures from opposing parties make controversial statements regarding our brave men and women in Iraq. Both are speculated to be preparing their second presidential runs. Both are decorated Vietnam veterans. But while one is being ravaged by our fair and balanced media, the other isn't.

And now, without further adieu, Senator John S. McCain: Read More

Clinton cries again? Um...

This Obama-Myspace thing shouldn't be a big deal! Please hear me out!

Shocker! Newt Gingrich is a racist.

Will the media freak out over McCain's comments?
