Lighting does strike

Just because you're "more likely to be hit by lighting twice" than for the election to come down to your vote, doesn't mean you shouldn't. You may not be Kevin Costner but we need everyone to add their drop to the bucket.

Spread the Word Week One

So, thus begins Spread the Word, a hopefully weekly segment in which people will essentially blog, but with visual aids. Welcome to the talking points of the future, brought to you by your new Talking Points coordinator!

Here are some links to sites that I used in gathering info - there's good stuff here:

Enjoy the first Spread the Word segment everyone!

Super Tuesday: Watch undecideds and Edwards supporters

TPM has a state-by-state breakdown of the Super Tuesday group. Clinton leads in all the states for which there is polling except three.

But, if I might be so bold as to make a prediction, I bet that undecideds will break pretty heavily for Obama. MoveOn.org, which had a disproportionate number of Edwards supporters until he withdrew from the race, endorsed Barack Obama 70-30. Disappointed Edwards supporters might go to Obama by a similar number (What say you to this, Markus?).

Clinton may (probably will) come out ahead in the delegate count on Tuesday night, but the big story could end up being Obama with unexpected wins in several states, and Clinton with narrower leads than expected in the states that she wins.

My bet is that the race won't be over on Tuesday. Of course, I'm not putting any money on it.
