Polls of Pennsylvania in the week after Clinton's win in Ohio show her ahead of Barack Obama, on average, 53-38.

Clinton spent nearly 5 million dollars in PA and campaigned all over the state. Obama spent a bit more than twice that and also campaigned all over the state.

So what did they get for their money?

Why all the knee-jerk nationalism all of a sudden?

I'm talking about the reaction of the so-called "progressives" to Jeremiah Wright's comment about 9/11 and "God Damn America".

Until now it appeared pretty well settled that the rational progressive community recognized that the seeds for 9/11 were planted by our meddlesome foreign policy. Only the psycho right-wingers were unable to come to this conclusion because America, to them, can do no wrong.

Until now it appeared pretty well settled that the rational progressive community recognized how oppressive the American government has been overtime, both here, and abroad. Only the the psycho right-wingers were unable to come to this conclusion because America, to them, can do no wrong.

Now a religious figure says the things the progressive community agrees with (he doesn't blame the gays for our troubles, nor does he blame abortion, or miscegenation, or any insane fucking thing) and some of you freak out!

What the hell is wrong with some folks?

So we're all aware of the racist - Obama as the "affirmative-action" candidate - drivel spouted by Geraldine Ferraro.

What I'd like now is for the real Geraldine Ferraro to step forward.

In an NYT articlefrom back in 2006, the discussion of a Black man vs. a woman as president included comments from Jesse Jackson and Geraldine Ferraro.

What's interesting is that despite Ferraro's diss of Jesse Jackson in 1988 and her diss of Senator Obama now, she's signing was siging a different tune in 2006.

So I went on the CNN website and saw something called the "Delegate Game".

Basically it consists of the remaining states and super-delegates and sliders for each.

By guesstimating the numbers of delegates from each state you can see the final estimated tally.

So groups of voters have been dissed by HRC Inc. Certain types of election processes have been dissed by HRC Inc. Whole states have been dissed by HRC Inc. (How you feelin Tejas? You next?)

Now the entire primary process has been dissed by none other than Clinton supporter, Geraldine Ferraro.

*HRC Inc. includes the campaign and high-profile supporters.

It appears despite plastering on a friendly face in the debate the Clinton campaign has continued down the path that makes this observer think she's going to go down swinging and take the party with her if she has to.

A pro-Clinton 527, American Leadership Project, has started to warm its engines with the hope of attacking Obama in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and perhaps Texas.

but I don't feel fine.

According to Howard Wolfson, communications director for Hillary Clinton, even if the Clinton campaign is behind on pledged delegates (and I assume the popular vote) she will be pushing the connected insiders and elected officials to vote with her to push her over the top.

No matter what people keep saying pointing out problems with HRC policies (and BJC policies as well) is not a personal attack.

It's a substantive reason to be against her candidacy. In fact, some of her positions supply a good reason to be strongly against her candidacy.

For example, her apparent position vs. Obama's position on mandatory minimum sentencing.

A common refrain from the Right is that they don't like judges legislating from the bench. Now what they really mean is judges who decide cases in ways that they don't like.

Judges shouldn't render decisions that are effectively legislative rather than judicial and generally they do everything possible to avoid assuming the role of a one man or one woman legislative force.

This makes sense since our Constitution grants the legislative power to the Congress under Article I.

The Constitution clearly states, "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives." Art I, Sec. 1.

Article II of the Constitution grants power to the office of the President. The only time the President is mentioned in Article I is in reference to the veto power of the President.

Legislating from the bench would be anathema to our Constitution so why do we tolerate it from the White House?

This is a story about a forgotten time when a Democratic president sold out our ideals for the sake of...well...something.

In general it seems that the Democrats remember the 1990's as a golden age. For some Americans it was. Poverty was down and income was up and that's great.

Unfortunately the economy changes and along with it the fortunes of the people. Now poverty is up and incomes are down. So goes the economic cycle.

One real way to judge the legacy of an administration is to examine the legislation they propose or sign.

Since we're being told that Senator Clinton is running in part based on her experience in her husband's administration I'd like to briefly examine a few bills that the Clinton administration signed into law as that's part of the record she's running on.
