Today's Menu

Keep dreaming: Marc Cooper at Huffington Post explains that even though Hillary Clinton won the Ohio, Rhode Island and Texas primaries last night, she's dreaming if she thinks she can win the Democratic nomination. It's a simple matter of delegate math. For Clinton to secure the nomination, democratically, she would have to win all remaining primaries by at least 20 points each.

Another take: Dylan Loewe, also at Huffington Post, gives his take on the unreality of a Clinton nomination. He goes so far as to call her the "new Huckabee."

Speak of the devil: Mike Huckabee finally threw in the towel last night on his bid for the Republican nomination.

Kill Bill: At The New Republic, Marty Peretz notes that since Hillary Clinton put the muzzle back on Bill, her fortunes have improved. I totally agree with that assessment. Think back to those pre-South Carolina primary days; Clinton's campaign was doing fine until Bill went rhetorical renegade in the Palmetto State. After shooting his mouth off and offending most everyone in sight, the missus got the biggest electoral shelacking of her career. And it was downhill from there. If I were her, I'd use him as sparingly as possible.

Down but not out: John Hood, chairman and president of the John Locke Foundation doesn't buy Team Obama's assertion that it's mathematically impossible for Hillary Clinton to win the nomination at this point. He may be right and points out that the "Clintons fight hard, they fight dirty, and they're used to winning."

Walking anachronism alert: Another indication that Hillary Clinton's judgement is seriously flawed is that she has Gloria Steinem campaigning for her.
