Just hours before Gov. Sarah Palin's speech in St. Paul, Minn., the latest YouTube video making the rounds captures off-the-cuff comments from prominent conservative columnist Peggy Noonan and former John McCain campaign manager Michael Murphy following a segment that aired on NBC with Chuck Todd. Thinking that the microphone had been turned off Noonan and Murphy ripped into Palin as a political choice who would weigh down the GOP ticket.

Asked if Palin was the most qualified woman for the Republican running mate slot, Noonan replied, "The most qualified? No. I think they went for this, excuse me, political bull**** about narratives and [inaudible] the picture."

mississippi exit polls

Similar searches: pennsylvania polls, mississippi exit poll, mississippi polls, exit polls mississippi, mississippi obama

After Clinton’s Ohio and Texas victories, each of Mississippi’s 40 Democratic delegates became precious to both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama . Seven of them are unpledged superdelegates, free to support the candidate of their choosing. The other 33 will be allocated proportionally to the candidates based on their primary results, so both Obama and Clinton will pick up a portion of Mississippi delegates.

Political analysts believe that Obama will win in Mississippi, and recent polls support that theory.

Obama has drawn strong support from African-American voters and, according to American Research Group, 55 percent of Mississippi’s likely Democratic voters are black. In Ohio’s March 4 primary, 18 percent of Democratic voters identified themselves as African American, and 87 percent of them supported Obama over Clinton, according to exit polls.

Clinton has been campaigning in the state, but she has also dispatched her husband, former President Bill Clinton, to make the Mississippi campaign rounds. The former president had strong ties to the black community and was commonly referred to as the nation’s “first black president.” But he angered some black voters earlier this year when he likened Obama’s South Carolina primary victory to Jesse Jackson’s primary successes in the state. Some believed Clinton was attempting to dismiss Obama’s win due solely to his race.

With the return of SNL on Sunday night, Tina Fey addressed the issue of why so many Democrats are abandoning Hillary Clinton. “People say that Hillary’s a bitch,” Fey said of the Chappaqua resident. “You know what? Yeah, she is. And so am I. And so is this one [gesturing to Amy Poehler]. Bitches get stuff done. … It’s not too late, Texas and Ohio, get on board. Bitch is the new black!”

texas democratic debate

Yep, we're still googling for anything that relates to the election. Does anyone really care? Google Trends tells us they do. This time it's Texas' turn.
Is it just me, or does anyone else think "Obama" sounds just too darn much like "Osama"?
