I think Allahpundit does a magnificent job at HotAir. He is one of the best item-finders in the blogosphere, Left or Right. But his shock at Sen. Hillary Clinton’s big win with Hispanics in Nevada, which is influencing his analysis of the delegate issue, means he needs to stop by here more often.

Election 2008: Summing up NV and SC [Karl]
Even though Obama may end up with more delegates than Clinton in Nevada, her victory in the popular vote, as well as the McCain victory in South Carolina, points in the same direction. It is the triumph of Experience over Hope. The triumph of the old over the young. The triumph of cankles over the shapely-turned ankle. Update: In his victory speech, McCain mentions the efforts of his mother – the subtext being that the
Dems 2008: The Rookie Risk [Karl]
The fact that Sen. Barack Obama has surfaced in the federal corrupton case against his longtime campaign fund-raiser, Tony Rezko, may turn out to be a small deal by itself. Nevertheless, it may play into one of Sen. Hillary Clinton’s strategies for fending off Obama’s insurgent campaign: On Friday night there was another attack, a radio ad from the Clinton campaign in which basketball star and Clinton friend Earvin “Magic”

While waiting for word from South Carolina, how about some music? Our esteemed host has talked playlists from time to time, so in a shameless bit of plugging my regular gig, I’ll point you to hours of streaming music I have compiled over at the Hype Machine. I add an hour to 60 minutes weekly. You can stream songs individually or jukebox them with the pop-up player option at the
Dems 2008: More Nevada Delegates for Obama? [Karl]
At NRO’s Campaign Spot, Jim Geraghty is confused that Obama could possibly end up with more delegates than Clinton, despite coming in second place, due to the state’s “arcane weighting system“: What, the metric system? No, this one: On Jan. 19, party caucuses meet in each precinct to choose delegates to county conventions. The delegates selected are not bound to any candidate. At the county conventions on Feb. 23, delegates
GOP 2008: In South Carolina, Will There Be Blood? [Karl]
In South Carolina, Sen. John McCain visited a plant that makes armored vehicles for Iraq and Afghanistan, dropped by a polling place and then decided to take his wife, Cindy, to the movies to see There Will Be Blood. Although I must issue a potential (movie) spolier warning, if the cranky veteran from the West defeats the preacher in the Palmetto state, I can give you a preview of McCain’s victory
Dems 2008: Nevada Insty-Analysis
With CNN and Fox projecting Sen. Hillary Clinton over Sen. Barack Obama in Nevada (with John Edwards a distant third), a quick glance at the entrance poll tells the tale. That tale is largely the one told by Jay Cost after the New Hampshire primary. It is all about the “Mondale coalition,” minus black voters. Clinton turned out women and older voters, who edged out Obama’s support among young and black voters.ÂÂ

Dems 2008: Continually updated NV caucus figures [Karl]
Those of you curious as to how the Democratic Party’s curiously strong blend of identity politics and alleged union intimidation is playing out at the moment in Nevada can get continually updated results by county right from the donkey’s mouth. IIRC, Clark County is Vegas and Washoe County is Reno.
Canada: North America’s Belarus [Dan Collins]
Thanks for the gift of multiculturalism, hosers: The mainstream media is now the key to the battle against Canada’s so-called human rights commissions. Despite the sensation on the blogosphere, the Ezra Levant inquisition is being ignored by big media in Canada, and here. Also, there have been almost no opinion pieces actually defending the actions of Canada’s human rights commissions in the cases of Steyn and Levant. Rather than report
