Using delegate projection software created by Matt Vogel, I ran a scenario yesterday showing how tough it will be for Hillary Clinton to catch up to Barack Obama’s earned delegate lead.

It’s time to throw out that old map with the red states and blue states. The map that implies that all but a handful of states will definitely vote Republican or Democratic and that the real contest will be decided in Florida or Ohio or whatever.

Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) may return to Capitol Hill this month to support an amendment imposing a one-year ban on earmarks, a move that could set up a divisive clash within the GOP caucus.

*Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) may return to Capitol Hill this month to support an amendment imposing a one-year ban on earmarks, a move that could set up a divisive clash within the GOP caucus.*
It galls me that this banning of earmarks comes up after the GOP-Republicans are booted out of congress. When the GOP-Republicans held majority control of congress and the executive branch they gave us the biggest earmarks on record (and not a word from a Republican was heard)…. now though, earmarks are for sleazy politicians and no virtuous pol should be associated with them. This double standard is just another sign of the GOP-Republican culture of corruption. I do indeed think earmarks should be accomplished in a more transparent way but this ban now that the GOP-Republicans are out of power is for hypocrites.
