I know the media wants to have a horse-race. It is great for ratings. But why can't one person challenge these guys when they make an absolutely fallacious argument.
I must have heard this talking point about four or five times last night from Clinton surrogates.
"Obama hasn't won any battleground states"
Let's recap exactly what Obama has done.
- He has won more blue states
- He has won more primaries
- He has won more caucuses
- He has won more pledged delegates
Oh and he has won clear battleground states such as Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Virginia, and Colorado.
I don't mind trying to create a horse-race, but these faux talking points need to be nipped in the bud as they are spoken.
That means Obama surrogates need to get out there and talk about these things, and it means people like Maddow and others who seem willing to talk about truth need to speak up more when clearly false information is spilling out there.
Anyone who thinks this is over, it isn't. SDs will decide this, one way or the other. That means they can pick one of two people, and if enough pick Clinton, she wins.
Time for Obama's surrogates and us to start creating meme's and shaping reality back into, well, reality.
