And for that matter Chuck Todd too.

Finally, after a long day of coming close to swinging a cricket bat through 42 inches worth of Korean plasma wonder...I finally can watch a show that cuts through the Clinton bullshit and tells us the truth.

Chuck Todd said it- If this was a state election, we’d call it.  It is over.  It is impossible for Clinton to get the lead in pledged delegates.  That is why we don’t hear them talking about it anymore.

More after the jump

It is just incredible to listen to Hillary try to spin this.  The popular vote garbage only "works" if the uncommitted votes in Michigan are not given to Obama.

I'll update this as the show goes on... I need to vent today... :)

Update I:
Here's a new Clinton metric I hadn't heard.  Obama should win Indiana because its next door to Illinois, his home state!!!

What?!!  

Hmmm... before Keith says the same thing...Hillary has several home states:
New York--  she lost Vermont and Connecticut.
Arkansas- She lost two or three of the its border states.

Talk about grasping at straws.

Update II:
In Worst Persons- it sounds like John Ashcroft made it tonight over his tourtured waterboarding response (sorry, it was too easy).  That was caused by a fellow Kossack.  Yea for her!!  See her wonderful diary here.

Update III
The NC Gop Ad.

It's horrible.   Here is an email you can bomb with complaints:
email@ncgop.org

Update IV
The GOP is pumping Hillary's campaign in the open?  Damn...more news to me.  

I have been saying to anyone who would listen, Hillary Clinton is the most polarizing figure in American political history.  They want to run against her so bad...and they are so scared of Obama.

This show has been simply destroying Hillary...and to a lesser extent McCain.  Keith with help from Chuck Todd, Rachel Maddow and others have taken apart every argument she has made, and thrown a few more roadblocks in her way to answer for.  It is amazing and relieving to hear.

Update V
Worst Persons!!

John Ashcroft:  Yup... it's from Elsinora's diary... see the link above
Roger Byrd- the Osama/Obama sign... another moron (moran?)  
McCain- Rev Hagee... said Katrina was because of a Gay Pride Parade...AGAIN!!!...  The worst person in the world...

I love that segment!!

Update VI
The Abercrombie Endorsement

Talks about the three guys behind Barack last night at his speech in Indiana who all had A&F shirts on.  It did look a little odd.  

A&F says they had nothing to do with it, nor did the Obama campaign.  I wonder if Hillary will seize on this?  I see it now...Abercrombie-gate!!  Barack is pushing overpriced clothing that are sold via soft porn images!!

That's about it for tonight's show.  Thanks for all the recs and comments.  A nice way to end the day, listening to Keith tell the truth...now if they could just get him stay on 24 hours.  

Also...KO is on Letterman tonight.

With apologies to Keith and to the great Edward R. Murrow-- Good night and good luck.
