more good news, suprise upset

Good news:

• another Obama superdelegate
• in best possible environment (dems bashing each other for months) mccain is only tied. Think what will happen when we finally go after him. Which the DNC is starting to do.
  
• new poll: who's condescending now?
• surprise upset in super-red district: dem beats repub, basically on opposition to iraq.
  

Good rundown of "electability" in key state matchups.
Guess what: obama performs better than clinton against mccain in colorado, north carolina, minnesota, and more, even california. Kos breaks it down:

So remind me again how is Clinton "more electable" against McCain than Obama?

She's lost more contests to Obama than she's won. She's raised less money than he has. She fares poorer in the polling against McCain than he does. She trails in the popular vote.

And somehow, despite the fact she runs behind Obama in the general, the supers are supposed to overturn the will of the primary electorate and spur intra-party civil war on her behalf? Is she really that narcissistic?

Apparently so.

What vast right-wing conspiracy?
Clintonistas keep wooing right-wing news outlets

And a bit of wisdom from Obama:

"I know that people like to talk tough and use a lot of rhetoric about fighting. I have always believed that if you are tough, you don't have to talk about it," he said.
