I listened to the latest superdelegate turn from Clinton to Obama explaining what he had just learned about Obama and it inspired him to switch.....the only problem with his reason was that everything he said (BO against the war, inspirational speaker, a unifying leader) did not just come to light causing his sudden turn; these attributes, if you will, were there months ago, even from the beginning, so why now....???? A person I used to work with always said, "When you don't understand something, look for the money." And I don't understand some of the moves to Obama, i.e. Richardson, etc. so I found the money. (those thirty pieces of silver that James Carville talked about). Also, if the numbers I am going to give you below were reversed, and it was Clinton giving three times as much money to superdelegates, you can bet it would be all over the news but no....you have to get this info from me. I tried to copy the entire list of individual contributions by the candidates to the superdelegate legislators and could not fit it on this page logistically so I will give you the totals. There has been a total of $947,006 given by both clinton and obama to legislator superdelegates. Of that, Obama has given 710,926 and Clinton, 236,080. For the source and the full list, click on the Taylor Marsh link on the side of this post and go to her red column of postings at that site. It is interesting isn't it? What is that expression...Show me the money!

No, no, no, Marilyn! John McCain is neither authentic or a man to be trusted. Anna Quindlen knows. Read her Newsweek piece "Once Upon a Principle" at www.newsweek.com/id/132860. It's all about how McCain has no principles whatsoever. Too, take a look at our womenwopinions.com post about him calling his wife a cunt.
Blogging's fun, isn't it?
