Open note to Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Dear Mrs. Clinton,

Your loyal constituents in New York need you. Will you heed their call? The red phone is ringing in the highest office of the Empire State.
No one but you, Hillary, has crossed the threshold of experience sufficient for the job. Your experience in cleaning up after cheating prominent male politicians uniquely qualifies you for the Governorship of New York.

Chris Matthews just mentioned what he called a 'Convention Walkout' that would occur at the Democratic National Convention if superdelegates were to go with Hillary although Obama had more pledged (elected) delegates. Can you imagine 2000 delegates getting up and walking out of the building? I can.

In fact, I think there will be far more serious consequences. If Obama loses the nomination due to superdelegates, even though he won more elected delegates, I predict riots across cities in the United States that make the LA Riots look like a walk in the park. I hope to God that I'm wrong. But if more pledged delegates belong to Obama and Obama loses the nomination due to supers, then we're talking about the 80% of African Americans that voted for Obama feeling that their voted didn't count.

At the very least, you can be certain that many delegates, voters, and especially black voters feel disenfranchised and no longer participate in the Democratic party. At the least, you can bet on a severe rift within the party.

There is a poignant column in the New York Post today that urges Al Gore to pick up the red phone. I believe it is imperative that he answers the call immediately, or risk losing the coalition that democrats have worked so hard to build over the past few years. It really is an emergency 3 AM crisis.

Why Now? As columnist Charles Hurt points out: Clearly, neither candidate is going to drop out before the convention. The math simply isn't there for either candidate to garner a win on the basis of pledged delegates. So eventually, it's going to come down to superdelegates (of which Gore is the most prominent) anyway. If he waits, he risks the democratic candidates tearing each other apart to the point that John McCain only has to re-hash negative talking points that have been driven into the American psyche about the Democratic nominee. Furthermore, he gives Republicans more time to organize and coalesce around a message... and to raise more money.

Going into this, we all knew that Texas was a two-part process. The mainstream media definitely knew this- they enjoyed throwing about the term "Texas Two-Step."

Well, the results are now becoming clear. Hillary won one of the two steps by a small margin. Obama won the other by a bigger margin. When it's all said and done, it appears that Obama has won Texas by at least three delegates. The Austin American Statesman sums it up: here.

I stress that caucus results are still coming in. They could change. My own projections, based on what I've read from other (reliable) sources, are that he will actually net more than a 3 delegate gain in Texas.

The most popular overweight, orally fixated, drug addict, Satan of the airwaves (otherwise known as Rush Limbaugh) is encouraging his Texas listeners to vote for Hillary if they have not already done so.

According to my friend who was listening in, several callers called in to say they would be doing (or have already done) that very thing. Now, contrary to his previous positions regarding John McCain (Rush was against him before he was for him) this is not because Rush hates McCain. And it's not even because Rush is enamored with Hillary's supposed 3 AM phone prowess.

No, Rush knows that Obama is the more electable democrat. He thinks that McCain can beat Hillary. The fact that Obama has opposed the Iraq war diffentiates him from Hillary. It differentiates him from McCain. But Rush knows that given a war veteran who supported the Iraq war, and a former first lady who also supported the Iraq war, the voters will go with the war vet to answer the phone at 3 AM. Obama is the only candidate who can say he made the right decision from the beginning to protect American troops and America's pocketbook.

Sometimes I have to wonder if Howard Wolfson is actually an undercover Obama supporter. Because the things he chooses to fight for are constantly re-affirming the widely held belief that Hillary is petty and negative.

Take this 'plagiarism-gate' for example. The Clinton campaign attacks Obama for borrowing from Patrick's speech. Of course they know internally that this is done all the time in politics. It's somewhat akin to making a pop song- there are only so many melodies that sound pleasing, and after that it's kind of all re-hash. So somebody at the Clinton camp thought they could get some headlines out there about Obama not really being the master orator that the world believes he is. So stupid.
