In fact, Hillary is the only candidate with an energy policy.

That will come as a surprise to the people who drafted Obama's energy policy white-paper.

So if you can't recall someone's position, it means they don't have one?

Aren't you the omniscient one!

There's a start.  If you "forget" any more, I'll be happy to help.

None of us could have imagined that the Argus Leader would endorse Hillary Clinton after vociferously defending her comments last week.

I know one elderly woman in South Dakota that is going to vote for Clinton, unless she's changed her mind since I talked to her in March.

All the same, it's not Clinton country.  Obama is going to win by a substantial margin.  It will be good to end the primaries on a high note.

Here is another

YES!!!!

Smart choice, Argus Leader!

Poor choice Argus Leader, you have disappointed America.

We've already learned that newspaper endorsements don't mean much this election cycle.

Go Hillary!

THANK  YOU, mtg44234 for this very ASTUTE analysis!

Hillary is the only candidate with an energy policy.

It is VITAL to get the word out about that!

The damage was done. And, that royally sucks!

This RFK issue frosts my ass like no other issue this campaign season. It exemplifies the depths to which the press and (the Obama campaign, this time via Axelrod's gross hypocrisy) will go to attack her.

Oh, her! Is she still in the race?

if you just let this thing play through.

http://rasmussenreports.com/public_conte nt/politics/election_20082/2008_presiden tial_election/overall_favorable_ratings_ for_presidential_candidates

Obama has a 52% unfavorable rating, and more ominously his very unfavorables have jumped to 37%, 5 worse then Hillary and 13 worse than McCain.

We will be lobbying the DNC to award delegate status to all employees of the Argus Leader. To disenfranchise these hardworking folks would be criminal.

here's what they said about her energy policy re: ethanol:

Clinton's energy policy is forward thinking and wise. She advocates a broad federal research initiative to help solve our looming oil crisis. It's a plan that would join university researchers, private industry and individual inventors behind a common goal.

Is ethanol part of the answer? Clinton believes it is but not necessarily corn ethanol.

That is not precisely the answer South Dakota wants to hear. Corn-based ethanol has been a boon for farmers here. But the simple fact is that she probably is correct. Advances in cellulosic ethanol technologies could render corn ethanol obsolete and wasteful. Happily, South Dakota is poised to be a major player in the push to experiment with other kinds of ethanol.

everybody knows, especially the farmers, that corn ethanol is a dead end. it just takes courage to say so. it's to the argus leader staff's credit - and hillary's - that they did so, and are looking forward to developing cellulose-based ethanol production. that's a vastly superior policy approach to, say, jumping into bed with jim bunning on liquified coal.

The voters and the Super Delegates can't ignore that!

... or can they?...

Who could have predicted at the start of all this that Hillary would be reduced to crowing about the Argus Leader endorsement.

Great news.  Thank you.  

...and B O's policy is probably like his idea for Medicare....electronically submit....only, that was done several years ago.

Hillary has the policy of FORWARD change.  Change that will do good........not hope that it might just be a little better than what we currently have.

Obama looking to a max of 40 mpg by 2020....Hillary 55 mpg.

This may be the turning point of the entire campaign!

Just kidding.

Does the endorsement of a local newspaper really merit its own diary?  Or two?  Or...?

C'mon guys.  They also endorsed McCain as the best choice for Republicans.

So we know where they stand on the issues.

Jerome,

These same Dead Enders have recommended 2 diaries about this same right wing rag endorsing Hillary.

They are making this blog look silly.

Please do something.

Thank you

This race ain't over til it's over.

Math
There are 276 delegates left
Obama needs 40.5
Hillary needs 243

Unless Florida and Michigan are seated as is then:
Then there will be 374 delegates
Obama will need 135.5
Hillary will need 236.5

In that case,
Obama should get at least 36 or the remaining 86 pledged delegates, 24 more add-ons, and at least 30 of the "uncommitted pledged delegates" from Michigan. That would mean that Obama only needs another 45 or so super delegates to clinch this.

So it really doesn't matter what happens in SD now does it. The real action is in the RBC this Saturday. Anything but seated "as is" will have no significant impact on the nomination contest and it is not sounding like seated "as is" will be the outcome at the RBC.

All the math is here:
