It’s looking like a double-digit win. This is what she deserves after her lame attacks.

Also, Clinton again chose not to give any kind of concession speech. Tim Russert pointed out that the Obama campaign was watching this, and decided to go ahead and have Barack start speaking before she finished. All the networks decided to cut to Obama. Smart move.

The debates are her last chance.

Obama needs to win tonight. I’m not sure what to make of his campaign’s decision to campaign in Texas today. Hopefully their internal polls are showing a comfortable win. With two weeks to go, another day in Wisconsin to get every last vote would have been my preference, though I understand early voting starts in Texas today.

Obama has closed the gap in Texas and now the polls are tightening in Ohio. A win in Wisconsin keeps the momentum going, but a loss would he a huge story.

Apart from New Hampshire, Obama has been outperforming the polls through most of the campaign, particularly through the recent winning streak. Hopefully this trend continues tonight.

Kos nails it.

My memory is hazy. Was the Dean campaign as pathetic during its “implosion” stage as the Clinton campaign has behaved the last week or two?

I’m trying to figure out if this is normal behavior for a desperate campaign or if the Clintons are reaching new heights of idiocy.

Read the comments to this post. Readers are having a fun time finding Hillary quotes where she is lifting campaign slogans from Obama and even lines from John Edwards. It’s hilarious.

This is the same campaign that tried to criticize Obama for something he allegedly said when he was in kintergarden.

Barack Obama responds to the idiotic plagiarism claim by the Clinton campaign.

“He has occasionally used lines of mine. I have occasionally used some words of his. I know Sen. Clinton has used words of mine as well. I don’t think that is something that workers here are concerned about,” he said, adding that “I’m sure I should have” given credit to Patrick.

There’s the rub. She’s stealing lines from him, especially the whole “change” argument.

God help us if she gets the nomination.

The Clinton campaign is getting very desperate. Their latest attack on Obama is that he is plagiarizing Duvall Patrick’s speeches, even though Patrick is a friend of Obama and claims that they regularly exchange ideas on speeches. Patrick does not believe he is owed any citation.

Further, Clinton’s attack dog, Howard Wolfson, would not claim that Clinton had never done something like this, claiming that rhetoric isn’t as important to her campaign.

Let’s see – they’re attacking Obama because he gives a nice speech and he won’t debate her in Wisconsin even though they’ve had 18 debates and 2 more are scheduled.

This is the Bush/Rove/Dick Morris strategy – treat the voters like they’re complete idiots. Of course, this crap has worked in the past. Will this year be any different?
