Bill Clinton says he's fighting against political elites and only real democrats want the primary race to continue.
Last night on the Tonight Show, Hillary Clinton says, "I almost didn't make it. I was pinned down by sniper fire at the airport." A video surfaces today that refutes her claim. The video shows her on a podium at the LAX airport saying that Howard Dean said "There is no such thing as a pledge delegate."

Mark Penn is a hired gun. He doesn't have to believe what Hillary Clinton believes, he just has to help her get elected. So his admission that his meeting was "an error in judgement" speaks to the timing and not the underlying purpose of the meeting, that is, to promote a job losing trade agreement that Hillary claims to be against.
Things in Washington have progress so far in favor of business that you have McCain's "senior advisor" Charlie Black, advising McCain on the straight talk express and working for Clinton's chief strategist, Mark Penn at the same time, carrying on his lobbying business on the McCain bus. It is beyond irony that McCain sent Charlie Black to rebut the NY Times lobbyist story.
Whatever happened to campaign advisors believing, at least a little, in what they are fighting for?

The he said he said between Bill and Richardson is a convenient way to get the press off Billary's back for his weekend tirade and the delegate movement that has been going on this week. I hope Richardson has nothing or almost nothing to say. Otherwise we'll have another cycle of he said she said instead of the news that Hillary has net -5 in superdelegates since super tuesday and barack is at +60 give or take a few.

The 3 am. economic metaphor doesn't make much sense. Economic crisises don't happen in the dead of night while everyone is asleep, but rather when government is asleep at the switch. They occur when government turns a blind eye to destructive business practices such as McCain's S&L crisis of the '80s and Bush's current mortgage crisis. Over-regulation is certainly not the way to go but government should set ground rules and referee the game.
