From USA Today:

"I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on," she said in an interview with USA TODAY. As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me."

"There's a pattern emerging here," she said.

The only pattern emerging is that Hillary is parroting the kind of white supremacist rhetoric we see on the right.

I had the displeasure of getting into an argument with a Clinton supporter over the weekend where she insisted that the party would come together once she was nominated.

I told the woman that not only would that not happen but she very well might have problems getting reelected in 2012.

She thought that was an absurd statement.

Was she right?

If you can find time in between tweaking the sound on your speakers to hear Mickey better or practicing your lip reading back in the real world things like this are happening.

From Reuters:

An Iraqi delegation in Iran has confronted Iranian security officials with evidence that Tehran is providing support for Shi'ite militias battling Iraqi government forces, an Iraqi official said on Friday.

"They presented a list of names, training camps and cells linked to Iran," Haidar al-Ibadi, a member of Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's Dawa party, told Reuters.

"The Iranians did not confess or admit anything. They claim they are not intervening in Iraq and they feel they are being unfairly blamed for everything going on Iraq," he said of the talks, which took place on Thursday.

Just another bit of "evidence" to add to the pile for the Bush Administration so that when they decide to start bombing Iran they'll have something to point to.

As early morning errands go it's a simple one. Just putting an envelope in a mailbox. But what got me to this point has been excruciating.

It's been a hard decision for me to make.

I've been a Democrat for a long time. I was a Democrat before I could even vote.

My affiliation with this party started with my Democratic parents. I remember them railing against Reagan and dismantling if this country's ideals at the dinner table.

It continued as I grew older. I became politically active and volunteered for campaigns and did my part to help the Democratic party win.

I cast my first vote in 1996 for Bill Clinton.

In college I fought the conservative influence on my conservative Southern California campus and community.

I volunteered for Al Gore in California in 2000. I volunteered for John Kerry in Pennsylvania in 2004.

I've done the same for Obama in this election and I was proud to do all this work because I was proud to be a Democrat.

I'm not proud anymore because the party doesn't give a damn about its African-American members.

Good news from the Washington Post:

INDIANAPOLIS. April 23 -- Coming off a convincing win in Pennsylvania, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton recorded her best fundraising day of the campaign, and she will need the money for what is being framed as a do-or-die contest in Indiana two weeks from now.

More than $10 million flowed into Clinton's nearly empty campaign accounts after the results of Pennsylvania's Democratic primary were announced Tuesday night, her aides said. That amount represented half of what she raised in all of March.

Obama has been harassed by the Clinton about not being able to win women/ older people/working class votes and how that makes him too vulnerable to win in the general election.

But what about Hillary's weaknesses in appealing to certain groups?

She has serious problems with African-American voters, voters under the age of 40 and the new voters that the race has brought in.

While everyone talks about delegate counts and the popular vote this issue is just as much of a reason to doubt her electability.

The most interesting thing about the whole "bitter" debate is seeing how differently people read Obama's comments.

As would be expected Obama supporters in general have come to his defense saying he was telling the truth about the feelings of lower class whites.

But within that defense and also the criticism of his comments seems to be a sense that white Americans are not only always justified in their anger but more importantly always justified in their reactions to the hard knocks they take.

Why?

We've all heard the stories about Hillary Clinton's debt. The small businesses left to pick up the tab after Clinton came, saw and left an unpaid invoice.

Let's talk about the other folks she's stiffed.

The school districts, universities, cities, towns and non-profits.

From the L.A. Times, Hillary Clinton campaign stiffs her high school $3,161

Now, it looks from new Federal Election Commission filings that Clinton's campaign had $8.7 million in outstanding debt at the end of last month. Ouch! And that included $3,361 owed to Maine South High School in Park Ridge, Ill., for renting the Watson Auditorium and for catering.

Hillary Rodham graduated from there in 1965.

On the eve of Super Tuesday on Feb. 5, Clinton staged a big town hall meeting from the Maine South High School auditorium that was broadcast nationally on the Hallmark Channel, allowing supporters across the country to ask questions live. Maybe you saw it. Millions did.

But campaigns move on. And her alma mater is still awaiting its money.

Is it just me or has there been an up-tick in the number of anti-Obama diaries on DailyKos lately?

Is this a sign of the "strikers" losing their nerve as it becomes obvious that Hillary Clinton has absolutely no chance of winning?

Please peruse this bit of insanity brought to us by the New York Times:

Clinton Backer Points to Electoral College Votes as New Measure

Taken by itself it is a laughable sign of a desperate campaign that knows it can't win within the rules or even using standards of common sense.

When considered with all the other shifts in logic used by the Clinton campaign to first bolster and now justify their continued candidacy it's a sign of just how detached from reality and dangerous to the party this campaign continues to be.
