    Dear Hillary:
    May want to make alternate plans for January 20, 2009.

    Big win for Obama. He seems to be catching up in Texas, too.

    Did you like the note today that Pelosi basically warned Hillary not to go after Obama's pledged delegates?

    I hadn't, but while I don't think she will play any games that are that heavy handed, and will ultimately bow out gracefully, I don't think she gives a damn what Nancy Pelosi wants or says.

    Please, oh please let somebody else have been watching MSNBC 10 minutes ago.

    They trot out a couple of fourth-string pols to shill for Clinton and Obama respectively. Chris Matthews asks the Obama shill to name one of his accomplishments and the guy comes up blanker than Mike Shula in the fourth quarter of an Iron Bowl. Dead silence, followed by trying to talk about bringing people together. Matthews cuts him off ans asks if he can name any accomplishments. Nada, even after a couple of minutes to think about it. The damn studio production staff was even audibly laughing by the end.

    Was he asking for Obama's accomplishments or the fourth-string pol's accomplishments?

    If he was asking for Obama's accomplishments, he should have said "He's pulling one of the biggest upsets in the history of the primary process."

    CNN just called Washington for McCain.

    Obama's. And he was specifically asking for legislative accomplishments, so your answer wouldn't have worked.

    Once the interview was done, Olberman's retort to Matthews was "Name any accomplishments of the U.S. Senate the past seven years."

    It doesn't really detract from his momentum, but I'm sure it will be coming to a YouTube near you.
