Personally, I’m a little bit tired of Republicans shouting “terra-ists!” while ignoring Todd Palin’s membership in (and Sarah Palin’s videotaped praise for ) an Alaskan secessionist group with militia ties whose founder sought to speak against the United States at the U.N. in an arrangement between himself and Iran and who was killed in a “plastic explosives deal gone bad” a month after Waco .
You know, if we’re going to be talking about who’s a good, noble American and who’s not.
But what the hell, I won’t pretend I understand the conservative mind .

Robust thanks to reader AS for directing my attention to Mudflats today, where the headline is “Troopergate Witness Flips Like a Pancake.” Recall that McCain-Palin has worked mightily to shut down the Alaska legislature’s “Troopergate” investigation de facto by convincing witnesses (including the Palins themselves) not to co-operate, and Palin even opened an alternative “investigation” under a three-person panel of her own appointees. But now ... more
troopergate update:
Hard evidence contradicting sworn testimony has a certain effect on people. Murlene Wilkes, faced with this situation, decided to change her testimony according to a report in The Public Record . Now, with the little extra incentive of avoiding perjury charges, she has admitted that she was asked to deny the claim - at the direct request of Sarah and Todd Palin.

2 voted but there was no campaign: MI and FL
5 haven’t voted yet: TX, OH, PA, IN, and NC
5 have voted for Obama: IL, WA, MO, VA, and GA
and 5 have voted for Clinton: CA, NY, NJ, MA, and TN
The whole “Big State” thing is a myth.
Yeah, there’s some stupid spin floating around (from all sides) this cycle, but this is probably the dumbest. And it’s compounded by people wh... more
Yesterday, I noted an AP story on the recent contempt of Congress vote that, well… had a few problems.
In the least troubling of the errors, the reporter — Laurie Kellman — misidentified Rep. Jon Porter (R-NV) as a Democrat.
OK, not such an awful mistake. At least, not by itself. And the AP’s Director of Media Relations, Paul Colford, e-mailed to point out that the AP had in fact already put out a corrected version of the article.
But Kellman didn’t... more

Tonight’s schedule, with pledged delegates in parenthesis):
Vermont (15), 7 p.m. ET
Ohio (141), 7:30 p.m. ET
Rhode Island (21) 9 p.m. ET
Texas (193) 9 p.m. ET, but El Paso is in a different time zone, so closes an hour later. And, to make things extra complicated, the caucuses begin after the polls close.
Vermont will get called quickly for Obama. The rest should take a while to report winners. And Texas, sheesh, that one will be conf... more
The Obama campaign may be planning ahead (something the Clinton campaign never thought of, apparently), but it’s clear that they’re also paving the way for a serious push to knock Clinton out of the race this week.
First off is the developing CW , from the very astute Charlie Cook:
NBC political analyst Charlie Cook writes in his CongressDaily column, “[W]inning by slight percentages in Texas and Ohio aren’t real wins for Clinton. A ‘win’ would... more
