Picture of the Day - 2







Eating the local cuisine, a campaign standard.

Also: Today's caucuses and primary are all about expectations. If Clinton can post anything, it'll give her a huge boost.

And, if it matters, Obama is up a tiny +2 delegates in the AP's Super Tuesday count. 91 still to be awarded.

  • Now you only need to convince the party to support a creative future.

  • I don't know what that means.

  • It means that the entrenched system needs vision and change. I expect Obama will start to deliver that. But he needs to get the support of the party honchos first. My concern is tat they will play safe with a conservative option.

  • Just from the feel of things, I think alot of them would rather have Obama to remove the Clinton powercenter.

  • It's my understanding that coming up with a concrete delegate count at this point is only slightly more reliable than reading the bottom of an Eight Ball.

  • Yeah. The fact that there are still about 5% unallocated makes that point.

    The AP has been pretty conservative, though, so I thought I'd cite them.

    Plus, I didn't have any other politics up this morning.
