LIGHTNING ROUND: TWISTSED SISTER WANTS TO BARACK (BARACK!).
- The DNC and The Politico are debating whether DNC rules allow DNC members from Florida and Michigan to vote on whether Florida and Michigan should be seated at the convention. The Politico says not at all while the DNC says that while state representatives can't vote on their own cases they can vote on the case of any other state including Florida (if they're from Michigan) or Michigan (if they're from Florida). Marc Ambinder explains and weighs in with his own opinion.
- Remember McCain's speech about how much he hates war? Well, forget that. Spackerman has more.
- Gov. Jon Corzine is the latest Clinton superdelegate to express reservations about supporting her if she doesn't have a popular vote lead by June 4th. I think most people forget that just because you want someone to win doesn't mean you're willing to support them at all costs.
- The New York Post reports that Clinton said Obama can't win. A Clinton supporter claims what really happened was that Richardson said Obama can't win. I can't decide which source I trust less.
- Former Republican Congressman Bob Barr will run for president as an independent in the general election. He has a lot of Ron Paul's positions, though I'm not sure if that extends to the downright wacky pro-gold-standard ones. In any event, if Barr manages to pick up even half of Paul's supporters he could be a big problem for McCain, though many of those voters might have switched over to a Democrat or not voted if Barr hadn't run.
- Jimmy Carter almost-but-not-quite endorses Obama while talking to Nigerian reporters. It's a globalized world.
- John Edwards says he wouldn't accept a VP nomination from either candidate.
- Part of Twisted Sister makes a music video for Obama. It sounds stupid the first time you hear it, but it grows on you. Like a cancer. Bascially it's awesome (err ... not that cancer's awesome or anything).

Gee, let's hope Bob Barr backs the sane and accepted practice of unrestrained printing of worthless dollars backed by nothing which is driving the dollar to record lows instead of the "downright wacky pro-gold-standard"

Maybe the Clinton campaign can explain why Richardson would endorse Obama if he believed he couldn't win.

"Remember McCain's speech about how much he hates war? Well, forget that."
But, but, but, all these "independent" "fact-checker" articles and organizations spent the last week telling us that Barack Obama's being mean by quoting John McCain's analysis and ideas about war.
How are we supposed to choose between believing the press, and believing McCain?
And why can't they *both* be full of shit?

"Wacky" eh? Hozabout I design and print up some some paper money? With this, I buy your home with twice as much paper cash as the Feds Offer. Hell, why not give you 10 million! Now, I know you will sell it to me because you get a lot more money than Fed money, and besides, you would trust me more than Ben of the Fed (who also has a paper money printing press). Why trust me? Well, you know that Ben is in deep debt. I'm not. Trust me.

I have waited 20 years for the LP to nominate someone with elected political experience. If he were the same smug moralist that hounded Bill Clinton, I would not be able to even consider voting for him. However, anyone who has been paying attention knows that Mr. Barr has undergone a great enlightenment over the last few years. I'm not talking about the flipflopping lip service we get so much of during an election cycle, but a profound change of heart that he has backed up with hard work!
Give 'em hell, Mr. Barr!
