Actually Rig, my grandpa told me about Li'l Abner when he was telling me about the Depression and other ancient times. Look Rig, if you read widely enough, you learn about all sorts of things. And there was a musical based on Li'l Abner--I love a lot of musicals. Great song from that musical about one Jubilation T. Cornpone, as I recall.

And I do think you fit the Joe Blflltstk--spelling may be off-- character to a T. How long has this cloud been following you?


Jack--

We both realize that neither NH nor TX was a triumph for Hillary--though I have to say I didn't realize they tied 9-9 in delegates in NH. Is that so?

My point is that unrealistic expectations for Obama allowed them portrayed as victories for her. And that we'd best be careful not to let the same thing happen in PA. For her to claim victory in PA, especially considering the likely shellacking awaiting her in NC, she will need to win by 15%. And we should stick to that requirement. When we mention polls showing the race already closer than 15%, we can fall into the trap of assuming the PA race will be very close. One poll may say 6% difference, but others say over 10% still. So let's stay with 15% as her required margin to claim any advantage.
