Odds & Sods #54: The Game-Changer Edition (Updated)

| | Comments (2)
  • Last night's results illustrate exactly why I find it not advisable to make predictions about margins of victory. The CW was that Hillary would win big in Indiana and win (or lose) a squeaker in North Carolina. So much for that.
  • Winners and losers: Kos recaps the various polls and pollsters' projections.
  • Bill from Portland Maine nails it: "The race is over. For the sake of unity, Hillary and Barack will be co-presidents. Blueprints for a second White House will be revealed shortly and we'll need another Air Force One plus a backup. Cheney insists he'll remain vice president because he now transcends the reach of the United States government."
  • Speaking of right-wing nutjobs, was Rush Limbaugh the one person most responsible for Hillary's victory in Indiana?
  • And speaking of Hillary, she has loaned her campaign over $11 million so far. That equals the sum total of all her royalties from the books she has written. And is it true that (as a condition of her dropping out) she is negotiating with Obama's campaign to pay off that debt?

UPDATE: Sorry -- couldn't resist one last sod:

  • Ana Marie: [O]n this morning's HRC conference call, Geoff Garin had this spin regarding the campaign's North Carolina 14 point loss: "We lost the white electorate in Virginia, started even in North Carolina among the white electorate just two weeks ago, and ended [with] a very significant win of 24 points among those voters." He called this shift -- you know, the white people deciding to vote for the white person -- "progress." Right. Now, if only there was a way to make white votes count for more than the black ones...
Ouch.

In other words, can she instigate the black male. (Sorry).
