Reply #9: Interesting observations you make. I especially agree about the tones of the 2 campaigns.

Alhena, I am not attracted to the fools' gold of Florida. Terry McAuliffe put all our eggs in that basket time and again and wasted millions of dollars there only to lose and lose.

Howard Dean began his victorious 50 state approach his first year as chair and we won back the U.S. Senate by working Red States! We won Missouri! Montana! Virginia! Ohio! And we almost won Tennessee, too.

Obama has won Missouri and Virginia and either one of those two states added to John Kerry's core and we take the White House. HIllary can not win Missouri or Virginia and I am not one to put all the money and hope on the false promise of Florida again. It has a Republican governor and a Republican legislature. We are crazy to bet the farm on that state. It's too risky when our opportunities are so much more promising. Louisiana and Colorado also are tilting our way and either one of those + Kerry's and we are there, too.

Obama and Hillary both will carry California, New York, Illinois.

I may be wrong, but the Clintons campaign seems to be making so many mis-steps and misstatements that I think we may be just weeks away from the beginning of the end. She looked so great all through 2007 and now she looks angry and her message changes from day to day. I think they are in trouble and they now know it.
