Heh.
TNR's Christopher Orr says Hillary Clinton has joined the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy.
Meanwhile, blogger Cameron Fredman has found some counts that show Clinton ahead. My favorite:
Average Highest Elevation
CLINTON: 6135 Feet
OBAMA: 6097 Feet
Frankly, I’m surprised that more attention hasn’t been drawn to this. Obama claims to want to elevate the level of discourse, but he has failed in states with the highest elevations. Clinton has won on Mount Whitney (California), Humphreys Peak (Arizona), Boundary Peak (Nevada), and Wheeler Peak (New Mexico). Perhaps more significantly, there are so few peaks left that despite the close margins, Obama has no hope of regaining the altitude vote. Clinton also leads among states with the highest average mean elevation: (Clinton: 1908.8 feet Obama: 1457.7 feet).
I fully expect Howard Wolfson to be citing that one within days. (Hat tip: TNR.)
P.S. And another "Heh," courtesy of James Carville, opening a speech at a finance conference: "Governor Richardson was going to introduce me, but he got pinned down by sniper fire at the airport.”
P.P.S. And yet another "Heh," courtesy of Wonkette:
While Senator Obama may have sought to elevate the level of discourse, he has actually managed to have the more colourful discourse, whereas Senator Clinton is proving to have the more fabulous discourse ...

That Wonkette video was great. I especially like the part where the guy's head blows off. Ha!

According to the Wall Street Journal, Hillary's Kitchen Sink campaign has driven down the poll numbers of...Hillary. Her negatives are now at record highs and Obama's numbers are fine.
Good job, Hillary. Apparently the American people aren't buying your bullshit.

Thanks for the shout out to overbreadth and fight-on, fellow Trojan! I just laughed out loud watching that wonkette video.

Obama's numbers are fine.
I don't know about that.

Joe Mama - from the cite you linked to, *I* think Obama's numbers are fine ... and I like what I see for Clinton's and McCain's too ...
Remember, these - Clinton's and Obama's - are the numbers for the "party of uniters" ... and they *are* managing to unite the US voting public to look more and more favourably on McCain ...
