Campaign update

The most important news of the day? Jim Antle linked me. I still think the expression "haunted Republicans for a generation" is overdramatic, and I still dislike it when journalists do the armchair-strategist routine with campaigns. But since Antle says he is neither (a) endorsing Soren Dayton's suspension nor (b) cheerleading for Crazy Cousin John, then all that's left to say is, thanks for the link!

Meanwhile, Vandehei and Harris say that the Democratic primary race is all over but the shouting: Obama wins and Hillary loses. Which may be true, but I'd hate to be the campaign staffer assigned to break that news to Hillary. And since Vandehei and Harris admit the possibility that Hillary could yet conceivably steal the nomination by bribing or blackmailing superdelegates . . . hey, why not? If Team Clinton can steal the nomination, they will steal the nomination.

The Clinton campaign sneers at Bill Richardson's endorsement of Obama. Yeah, he's just jockeying for the running-mate gig. Tough luck for Richardson, once Hillary buys off all those superdelegates and steals the nomination.

Karl Rove says left-wing bloggers don't have real lives. As if right-wing bloggers do.

Speaking of Ace of Spades, he's real upset at the way CNN's spinning Jeremiah Wright's "chickens coming home to roost" rhetoric.

The Democratic Party tells Florida and Michigan to go to hell. I can understand the DNC flipping the bird at Michigan -- a declining Rust Belt state with politics dominated by labor-union goons -- but what's their beef against sunny Florida?
