Joel Connelly in today's P-I, Democrats fear a bloodletting as battle wages on:

THE LEGENDARY tenacity of the Clinton political dynasty was displayed last night as Hillary Clinton used a campaign meaner than a junkyard dog to win presidential primaries in Ohio and Rhode Island.

[Clinton's] ability to go on comes thanks to two big states' constituencies.

Hispanic voters in Texas gave her a 2-to-1 advantage over Obama.

While younger voters in Ohio broke 61 percent to 39 percent for Obama, over-60 voters were giving Hillary Clinton more than 63 percent of their votes.

Older voters far outnumbered youthful counterparts in the Buckeye State.

What's strange is that Obama was making major inroads into Clinton's constituencies in Wisconsin, Virginia, Maryland. Then come Ohio and Texas and the Clinton voting blocs re-establish themselves. Hard not to see this as the politics of fear re-asserting itself.

Sen. McCain has a lifetime of experience, I have a lifetime of experience, Sen. Obama has one speech in 2002.

- Hillary Clinton on CNN today. Thanks for helping McCain's campaign, Hillary. She is supposed to be a Democrat here, right?

Cash incentives for students who do well on standardized tests

From the NY Times.

If three students can make $100 each running drugs on the corner for an afternoon, and the Bronx pays them $35 each for passing the state standardized tests, by what percentage will those students' quality of lives improve?

I'm eating Quaker Oatmeal right now, and I also enjoy light trolling on the Internet.

The big news on politico.com is that a large number of superdelegates are supposed to jump ship from Clinton to Obama today.

But you didn't hear it from me.
