Oh, Hillary. When will you put a leash on that Bill fellow?

Please tell me B.O. has a plan B and this isn't his best game?

At his press conference this morning in Chicago before heading back out on the campaign trail, Obama said:

''I have to just respond by saying that the Clinton research operation is about as good as anybody's out there. I assure you that having engaged in a contest against them for the last year that they've pulled out all the stops.”

To which RNC spokesman Alex Conant responded thusly:

"With all due respect to the Clinton 'machine', should Barack Obama win the nomination, I'm sure Republicans will have plenty of arguments to level against the Senate's 'most liberal' member."

Is $$ all we're good for in this state? C'mon Obama, hold a rally here for chrissake, it's the day before caucus!

I suspect we'll have a severe oxygen shortage in the state if Bill and Barack are simultaneously delivering long, rambling speeches.

Please don't fall for a bluff. It's embarrassing to us all.

As one of the closest presidential races in decades swings into Washington state, Barack Obama's campaign says he'll campaign Friday in Seattle and Michelle Obama will campaign for him Friday in Spokane.

I'm confused -- are they public or private? He needs to get his calendar sorted.

Has Michelle decided yet if she will support the Democratic nominee if it turns out to not be Barak? She has had 24 hours plus now to think about it.

Where is this "public schedule", anyways? I can't find it on his disaster of a website. I can find the events calendar, which pops up a charming inch-square map of every sorority-girl get-together, but I can't find an actual LIST, that a person could READ, of what he's doing and where.

what's with the anti-obama bitchy comments??! i suppose most people would rather the candidate who's been shoved down our throats - you know, the pro-war, pro-global-aggression "dem" candidate...

that sure doesn't sound like WA, and i saw where obama is +22 here... and we're going to prove it Saturday!

@10 - SWEET!

Remember, Obama got more votes and more delegates on Super Tuesday.

And now it's Caucus Time!

@16: Michelle might, but I know a lot of fellow Indies who won't. Ha!

Hey Eli et al,
PLEASE post when and where one can go listen to Barack (Seattle) and Michelle (Spokane). This former Seattleite is driving up for the event. (I miss you guys!)
By the way, would you agree that Barack is an antidepressant for this country on two legs?
