for you bastards, anyway, it’s safe for me to express my worries. I think that Andrew is setting himself up for another enormous disappointment.  I can hardly bear to watch.  It breaks my heart; it really does.

Dems 2008: White Men support Obama [Karl]
At Pollster.com, Margie Omero notes (as I have) that the media is misleadingly latching onto Sen . Barack Obama’s performance in groups like white men in the Potomac primaries as a sign of broadening support for his candidacy: In fact, Virginia was neither the first state (nor even first Southern state) where Obama bested Clinton among white men. Nor was it the state where he won this group by the
Mugly Fug [Dan Collins]
Somebody risked his life to get this bastard: A Kuwaiti newspaper reports that Hizbullah terrorist chief Imad Mughniyeh, who was killed in a car-bomb attack in Damascus on Tuesday, was in the midst of planning major terrorist attacks in moderate Arab countries when he was killed. Al-Watan reports that American intelligence had learned that Mughniyeh arrived in Damascus three days earlier with instructions from, and in coordination with, the Iranians.ÂÂ

Dems 2008: Is it only Clinton regretting her big-state strategy? [Karl]
Having taken a side-swipe at Dan Balz and the Washington Post coverage of the Potomac primaries the other day, I now give Balz a hand for laying out how Sen. Hillary Clinton’s failure to challenge Sen. Barack Obama’s strategy of grabbing cheap delegates in caucus states could be her undoing: Here is a simple way to understand the consequences of that choice. Take two states that held Super Tuesday contests on
Al-Graun’s Cartoon Capers [Dan Collins]
The ever-excellent David Thompson (yes, that one): Mr al Yafai offers no analysis of preceding events and no reflection whatsoever on the moral incontinence of Islamist indignation, or its deranged disproportion, or its coercive intent. Nor does Mr al Yafai pause to consider whether those who do commit atrocities in the name of Islam – say, by detonating babies, or children, or the mentally disabled – do so because they
Dems 2008: Follow the money… to a superdelegate [Karl]
The Center for Responsive Politics reports: (W)hile it would be unseemly for the candidates to hand out thousands of dollars to primary voters, or to the delegates pledged to represent the will of those voters, elected officials who are superdelegates have received at least $890,000 from Obama and Clinton in the form of campaign contributions over the last three years… Yet somehow, Sen. Hillary Clinton — who increasingly is looking
Pin-Ups for Vets… though I don’t think anyone’s checking [Karl]
Gina Elise is selling a nostalgic pin-up calendar to raise funds for hospitalized Veterans, and as gifts to ill and injured Veterans, as well as our deployed troops to help boost morale. I am not a vet, but Ms. Elise seems very boosty. Like Dan wouldn’t have written the exact same thing.

So Sad [Dan Collins]
Security officials in Lebanon said Imad Mugniyah, 45, a senior Hezbollah military commander, was killed by a car bomb on Tuesday night in Damascus, Syria. Mr. Mugniyah had been accused in a series of bombings, hijackings and kidnappings during the 1980s and 1990s, including the 1983 bombing of a Marine barracks in Beirut that killed 241 American service members. Mr. Mugniyah’s father, Fayez, left, and grandfather held each other during
HuffPo blows the lid off America’s dietary problem [Karl]
Kelly Trueman complains that we Americans have a bias against eating bugs — and roadkill. Just don’t mention it to Mike Huckabee.
