Tim Russert Should Be Fired

Tim Russert's questioning of Barack Obama's views on and relationship with Farrakhan were reprehensible, out of line, and dirty. His gotcha-style interrogation of Hillary Clinton's tax returns was dumb, cheap and low class.

Tim Russert should be ashamed of himself and he should voluntarily take a long leave of absence to clear his head. If he does not, I call on NBC/Universal to fire him so that he learns a lesson a la Don Imus.

Obama Returns the Finger

So, Barack wins Wisconsin. Hillary comes out at 9:30 EST for an early speech. After a week where the Clinton campaign has basically been giving the Obama campaign the finger with this whole "words" thing, Obama decides to return the favor by starting HIS speech at 9:40.

It's petty, stupid and incendiary inside the campaign offices, but I LOVE IT!!!

Hilarious.

Superdelegates: Obama's Secret Strategy

OK, here are my thoughts on this whole superdelegate rigmarole:

Obama is secretly happy that we're all only talking about delegates and superdelegates because when he splits the vote in WI, TX and OH, but still gets more delegates, it will be reported by the media as a "big win." And this wouldn't be possible if we weren't spending so much time talking about delegates and superdelegates and instead were only focusing on wins and losses.

The result, then, will be that there will be a "feeling" or "aura" surrounding the Obama campaign which will make it even more difficult for superdelegates to support Clinton because then it will look like they're making her the winner when she shouldn't be -- even if their supporting her is totally legit and within the rules.

We shall see...
