But, part of the problem seemed to be a confusion about the actual rules in place for delegates. Witness how confused the Clinton camp were about Texas and it's hybrid system.
Going all in on Super Tuesday was a decent strategy. They didn't go all in though. They went for big state popular wins, not apparently caring about how wins in targeted districts would effect the delegate count.
They figured they could do a brute force crush of Obama. Instead, Obama's peeps knew the rules, knew how to hunt for delegates even when losing a state.

One therapist of mine, a brilliant woman (and the reason I'm still a sucker for sexy Jewish lesbians. Mmm.) had this motto: "They won't change until they're sick of their own behavior." Hi, Frieda!

That does not mean abandoning Mrs. Speedy, but it does mean that you have to find your own strength and your own skills to cope with this. It sounds to me like you're running short on both -- there's nothing wrong with that. But do not do this by yourself.

Where they seemingly went wrong was remaining wedded to the momentum strategy even after they had lost the momentum.
I think the same can be said of Giuliani's strategy to win Florida and the rest would take care of itself.
He didn't stop to think about the momentum of winning the early states, which to me, a relatively casual observer, seemed like a no-brainer.
Going all in on Super Tuesday was a decent strategy. They didn't go all in though.
trifecta
Sure they did - as "all in" as their money would allow.
Obama's fundraising strength fucked up their Super Tuesday plan.
In other words, they had no contingency plans in case plan A didn't work. And since plan A never works, that's a pretty big fuckup.
Because, as we like to say, a plan is something you deviate from.

Black Guy Asks Nation For Change
CHICAGO—According to witnesses, a loud black man approached a crowd of some 4,000 strangers in downtown Chicago Tuesday and made repeated demands for change.
"The time for change is now," said the black guy, yelling at everyone within earshot for 20 straight minutes, practically begging America for change. "The need for change is stronger and more urgent than ever before. And only you—the people standing here today, and indeed all the people of this great nation—only you can deliver this change."

Penn: Never Out, Still In
07 Apr 2008 01:39 pm
Demoted Hillary Clinton strategist Mark Penn may no longer have the coveted title of chief strategist, but he remains a key member of the campaign's senior staff.
Mr. Penn took part on the campaign's morning message call this morning, as usual.
This afternoon, he is also scheduled to be on a call with Clinton and other aides to begin to prepare for Saturday's presidential debate in Philadelphia.
Mr. Penn "is still going to be very much involved," a senior campaign official said.
Indeed, it is not clear precisely what Mr. Penn's title-change entails, other than a public rebuke, although the official said that "there is a difference between being in charge and being one of many voices."

Damn!
Taking inspiration from a cow's digestive tract, bacteria from a South American catfish and raw material from pretty much any plant that grows, Tifton scientist J.C. Bell may have come up with an ingenious way to make gasoline and other fuels.
His formula is simple. Basically: Biomass (such as grass clippings or wood chips) plus the right bacteria equals gasoline or diesel fuel.
And if you need a metaphor, Bell is happy to provide one.
"Have you ever stood downwind from a herd of cows?" he asks.
Cows eat grass. Bacteria in their digestive tracts break down that biomass and produce methane. The methane passes from the cows' bodies. Methane is CH4, the simplest of the hydrocarbons. Crude oil, gasoline and diesel fuel are made of hydrocarbons.
So if you get the right bacteria, you can turn biomass into any of these hydrocarbons, Bell said. Use bacteria from the guts of Amazonian catfish that eat wood and, boom, you've got a way to make oil - roughly 2 barrels of it for every ton of biomass, Bell said.

In short, no other president’s faults have had so deleterious an effect on not only the country but the world at large.”

Obama: Well, we were friends from the start, because I was his advisor. And my job was to welcome him to the firm. I took him out to lunch. And immediately I liked him because he didn't take himself too seriously but he was very bright, had a very interesting background, just a good guy to talk to. You know, you could laugh easily with him. So I was, like, this is a friend.
But then he asked me out on a date. And I thought, "Well, my advisee. Hmm, I don't think that looks right." But he invited me to go to one of the churches because he had been a community organizer and worked on the far South Side with a group of churches. And he took me to a training that he was doing. And there were mostly single parent mothers, mostly African Americans on the South Side.

Well, if you're talking about "Me and My Uncle," Papa John Phillips actually wrote that, and honest to God, that may be my favorite Dead song of all time.

Honest to God, I like watching curling. And just about any of the lesser sports that people from other countries excel at more than fucking Americans. I wish they'd show more curling and less "People" magazine bullshit, which is the main reason I don't watch the Olympics anymore.

... DHS plans to create a new office that would expand law enforcement and other civilian agencies' access to data gathered by powerful intelligence and military satellites orbiting the earth. The National Applications Office will oversee who can access such satellite data, which is typically used to monitor climate change and track hurricane damage, among other uses. ...
The NAO would expand access to data gathered by Mass Intelligence (MASINT) satellites, which according to reports use radar and infrared imaging technologies to see through cloud cover, forest canopies and even concrete barriers. Allowing local police forces access to such data raises substantial questions about whether the door to 4th Amendment violations is being flung open.

Some of the things you learn when you have "Confederate" as one of your search terms on Google News:
(from the Londonist:
Dennis Middlemist and colleagues of Oklahoma State University developed this test using a public toilet and some unwitting men. What they set out to do was to see if the stress or anxiety of people in urinal next to them delays their ability to wee.
Decreased relaxation of the external sphincter, they argued, would increased intravesicular pressure and so would shorten the flow.
The findings were that when a man urinated alone, the average delay before urination was 5 seconds, compared to 8.5 seconds when a confederate was standing in the adjacent urinal.
There are days I really miss Darryl Pierce, dammit. This is one of them.
Two days ago I posted like 50 Dead youtubes in a thread where you were all saying they sucked.

Yes, yes. More of those sports that it's amazing that anybody does! They just won't cover stuff if there's not a cute Amurican in it. They won't. And we have to spend inordinate amounts of time learning to appreciate how cute those Amuricans are. They've really made it boring. (And I blame the US hockey team in 1980 or whenever. It's all their fault.)

It was invented in its modern form by the organisers of the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.
And it was planned with immense care by the Nazi leadership to project the image of the Third Reich as a modern, economically dynamic state with growing international influence.
The organiser of the 1936 Olympics, Carl Diem, wanted an event linking the modern Olympics to the ancient.
The idea chimed perfectly with the Nazi belief that classical Greece was an Aryan forerunner of the modern German Reich.

Absolutely true. On the other hand, I was in Italy and Slovenia in '04, during the Olympics, and in Italy, at least, things were similar, but not so totally xenophobic. I seem to remember some Italian archer or something who was a big deal.
Slovenia was nice, because they have only about 5 potential medalists in the whole thing, so they tend to actually pay attention to the sports.

The performer I've recently seen who has the most incredible stage presence was Odetta. Just commands your attention from the moment she walks on stage.
Gromit, venal acolyte
You don't even have to see her to feel the presence. Catch a live performance of "Don't Mess with Mother Nature" sometime.
its a much bigger question than just 'competing' in other states. there was no ground operation, no campaign offices, no volunteers. there were statements to the press, from the campaign, about the unimportance of the states in question! "win Super Tuesday and it's over" was unquestionably bad as a strategy, except that it probably made sense to Mark Penn once he had finished cherry-picking 'the math' which pleased him. but the whole campaign, Bill and Hillary both certainly, should have seen just the basic polling which showed that no giant win was going to occur on 2/5. it looks pretty bad to be making these weak arguments these days about 'disenfranchisement' and how anyone who questions her is 'trying to stop the elections' when she herself was hoping it would be over in early February.
the problems are myriad. when the campaign went into panic mode after Iowa, they started playing really, really dirty, and turned a lot of people off to any possibility of putting the Clintons back in charge forever, myself included. no chance, no way, could I enthusiastically support either of them again. every time Hillary lost a primary, she got on stage that night and gave a stump speech, no concession, no congratulations, no acknowledgment of loss. sneering condescension coming straight from the candidate, at Democratic voters. astounding. the financial mismanagement, the unpaid debts, the lying, the resume' padding, the feeble accusations (slum lord! "shame on you Barack Obama!", health care, N. Ireland, Bosnia, NAFTA, 'plagiarism', drug-dealing, "all he's done is give a speech", 'less qualified than McCain', 'he wouldn't have been MY minister' (spoken to Scaife, no less!!!), "he's not a Muslim, as far as I know...") I could go on and on and on and on.
but the worst problem on the whole was that Hillary never made a positive case as to why she should be elected president of the United States. 'experience' was obviously no reason, in that she had less than nearly all of the other candidates. 'national security' was probably an even more mind-boggling thing for her to run on than experience. why on earth would she do such a thing? her best chance was competence, sheer competence. this would have been her best chance to contrast with both Bush and McCain who's campaign was really only barely able to lumber over the finish line under its own power due to lack of any realistic competition. but then she went ahead and very publicly proved herself an incompetent manager via her campaign, so that shot that one to hell as well.
it isn't just a question of 'this person ran and that person ran and one of them won'. it isn't a total crapshoot between who is going to win one of these things. campaign strategy proves itself by surviving, gaining strength, and justifying itself over time. the problem with the Clinton campaign was that they confused the strategy itself with what the strategy was supposed to accomplish.
