Have I got this right? Obama must win 15 primaries in a row or
he's in trouble. This is such a patently ridiculous claim, I wanted to be certain that I was not misquoting the whirling dervishes that populate the Clinton campaign spin team.

2. Not just moving them. Now they're dropping the bar to 2 feet high.
Hillary has finally really lost it. They're going to have to drag her away in a strait jacket.

3. He has to win ALL of the upcoming contests, by large margins, or
Hillary will claim a comeback and get the BIG MO! And even if he does this, he'll have to wait until the convention to see what the SD's have to say. In fact, the day before Inauguration, there may still be a chance that Hillary might win--better not try to call this too soon, it's unfair to her and to democracy.

4. Howard Wolfson and Mark Penn really can insult intelligence...
..and hopefully it is almost for the last time this primary season...

29. Did you see that Penn called the 3am spot a "positive ad"?
I guess he and Wolfson can't help themselves from spinning things whether they need spinning or not. Why would you not just say that it is a contrast spot? I do not understand these guys but I do understand why Hillary's media team is not liked by reporters.

5. She just has to win RI, dammit! That shows she's viable!
Besides we all know that she and the SDs know what's best for us, right? Right???

14. Did you know that Rhode Island very nearly was its own country?
In 1788 they voted down the Constitution. They refused to hold a ratifying convention (as directed by Congress) for the next three years. Until they knuckled under, George Washington was forced to treat "Rogue Island" as essentially a breakaway province (kind of like Kuwait).

21. Huh. You know, I once read that in Pennsylvania, a 'Revolutionary Government' took over and ratified
the Constitution, because the sitting government would not. Kind of funny, right? We laugh at other countries with their impromptu governments, but one right here was instrumental in getting the Constitution ratified (other states soon followed the PA action).

22. Penn and Wolfson have sunk her ship near beyond redemption.
If she doesn't fire these two numbnuts now, they may very well sink her entire.

23. With his eyes closed, one foot in the air, balancing a plate on his nose and playing an accordian.
Then, maybe, he can be the nominee.
