Operation Chaos
Posted at 5:38am on May 8, 2008 Who will be the traitors? Operation Chaos can still cause more chaos if the General wants.

It's been 300 days since Barack Obama deigned to set foot in Michigan. Michigan has 18 unpledged super delegates.
Florida has 13 super delegates who are uncommitted.
Obama, in addition to thumbing his nose at Michigan, has blocked Florida's delegates from being seated, despite a legitimate election with his name on the ballot. Obama could have worked with Hillary Clinton for a do-over. But he knew he'd lose both states so he sought to block them.
Which super delegates will be betray loyalty to their state and endorse Obama? Will Representatives Tim Mahoney or Allen Boyd stab Florida in the back? Mahoney had a hush-hush meeting with Clinton today. Maybe he'll be loyal to the state Obama peed on.
What about Senator Carl Levin and Representative Bart Stupak in Michigan? What about soon to be indicted (potentially) Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick? 300 days it has been since Obama gave their state any attention. And Obama continues to push environmental legislation that would harm Michigan's auto industry, not to mention his rah-rahing of protectionism while going to Canada to tell Canadians to ignore it; he didn't mean it.
Who will these super-delegates pick? The woman who paid their states the attention those sates were due? Or the man who thumbed his nose at them?

Posted at 2:41pm on May 6, 2008 That strange new respect
By Kevin Holtsberry
I have been pondering writing a post dissenting from the recent spat of articles where conservatives find they have a strange new respect for Hillary Clinton. But before I could, Phillip Klein beat me to it. Now, obviously I am professionally biased, but I heartily endorse his sentiments:
But what is there to admire about this so-called "tenacity"? Clinton began this campaign with a financial edge, the support of a popular former Democratic president, a built-in political apparatus, a consistent lead of more than 20 points in national polls, and more than a hundred superdelegates.
If a candidate starts off with all of those advantages and is too stubborn to drop out of the race, it's no surprise that she is still hanging on.
There is absolutely nothing admirable about a politician so narcissistic and hungry for power that she is willing to say or do whatever suits her political interests at any given moment.
If the Republican Party has declined to the point where conservatives are so worried about defeating a freshman Senator that they are rooting for Clinton to do their dirty work for them, it is simply pathetic.
Whatever Obama's faults, conservatives should ask themselves whether they can bear the possibility of the nation being held hostage by the psychological drama of the Clinton family for another four or even eight years.

Assuming that he's not disappointed, of course.

It would appear that Ohio Democratic officials have better things to do with their time than indulge Alternet in its happy little revenge fantasy:
Cuyahoga County Board of Elections won't seek to prosecute voters who switched parties
The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections decided on Monday not to pursue criminal charges against voters who switched parties in the March 4 primary.
The board had launched an investigation because some Republicans admitted to switching parties to benefit the GOP.
Democratic board member Sandy McNair, who initiated the investigation, asked the board at Monday's meeting to subpoena a Westlake Republican who wrote "Today Only" on his pledge card when he took a Democratic ballot. The three other board members, two Republicans and a Democrat, said they didn't want to force public testimony from the voter.
Voters who switch parties in Ohio primaries must sign affidavits pledging allegiance to their new party. Lying on the forms is a fifth-degree felony punishable by six to 12 months in jail and a $2,500 fine.
"We have so many other things we need to focus on," said Inajo Davis Chappell, the board's other Democrat. "I don't want to second-guess voters."

Remember, ye progressives: Democrat Davis Chappell is the reason why Rush Limbaugh isn't going to get indicted. Well, not really, but that's how you'll remember it once you've told the story to yourselves ten or twelve times.
