Here’s a portion of an e-mail that Obama campaign manger David Plouffe sent me and countless others. Just thought that everybody needed to read this:

Dear Adam,

When we won Iowa, the Clinton campaign said it’s not the number of states you win, it’s “a contest for delegates.”

When we won a significant lead in delegates, they said it’s really about which states you win.

When we won South Carolina, they discounted the votes of African-Americans.

When we won predominantly white, rural states like Idaho, Utah, and Nebraska, they said those didn’t count because they won’t be competitive in the general election.

When we won in Washington State, Wisconsin, and Missouri — general election battlegrounds where polls show Barack is a stronger candidate against John McCain — the Clinton campaign attacked those voters as “latte-sipping” elitists.

And now that we’ve won more than twice as many states, the Clinton spin is that only certain states really count.

But the facts are clear.

For all their attempts to discount, distract, and distort, we have won more delegates, more states, and more votes.

Meanwhile, more than half of the votes that Senator Clinton has won so far have come from just five states. And in four of these five states, polls show that Barack would be a stronger general election candidate against McCain than Clinton.

We’re ready to take on John McCain. But we also need to build operations in places like Pennsylvania, Indiana, North Carolina, and Oregon that will hold their primaries in April and May.

The end of the portion I’ve included is especially interesting. The Clintons are talking up Pennsylvania like it’s the end all, but Indiana and North Carolina follow up a week or so later on the same day. Combined, the states have more delegates than Pennsylvania. Oregon is also an important contest, and one which Obama should win handily. I guess what I’m saying is this: Let’s not continue to allow the Clintons and the media to keep running their spin game on us, moving the goalposts and skewing the realities of this race in the process.

Paul Abraham’s Huff Post piece on how Obama helped Bill Foster win narrowly edges out Daily Kos commenter Jsn’s “saying that Hillary has Executive Branch experience is like saying Yoko Ono was a Beatle” nugget of a comment.

Barack Obama — not Hillary Clinton — actively, with TV ads, supported Bill Foster’s attempt to win Dennis Hastert’s (former Speaker) seat in the House after Hastert’s resignation. Supporting Foster so openly was a risk, as it could have (and we know, would have) been used by the Clintons to raise doubt about Obama’s ability to rally support. After all, one thing Bill Clinton did not have was coattails — he lost the House for the first time in 40 years, and it remained in Republican hands for 12 years.

You know what, Hillary, you’ve done more than lose my vote. And that’s saying a lot, because I’m a die-hard Dem who cares about healthcare and the future of the Supreme Court a great deal. Given your past, however, I don’t think you’ll win your healthcare battle should you pull off a miracle and come back to beat Obama and then beat McCain. And I definitely don’t trust your judgment, so there goes worrying about the Supreme Court appointments, or the Iraq war for that matter.

Anyway, what you’ve done is change my opinion of you.

Votes like a Republican, at least when it comes to Iran and Iraq. Praises Republicans. Supported by neocon radio hosts. Installs fear like a Republican. Looks like a Republican, sounds like a Republican, must be a Republican. Even if HRC’s a light G.O.P. brew, in my eyes she’s more than crossed the line. Ah-nold is more of a Democrat than she is at this point. Hillary’s gone all Liberman on us. No, that’s not a good thing.

You’ve disgraced the party with your praise for McCain, Hillary, but in the process you’ve opened our eyes. You and John McCain do share Commander-in-Cheif experience–the exact same C-in-C experience we’ve had for eight years and want absolutely no more of. No thanks. Good riddance.

From this point forth HRC is McCain Lite. Why any Democrat would drink McCain Lite when there is a fine true Democrat pilsner out there is beyond me, but I’m determined to help stop the madness. Barack Obama might not get in the mud with you and those other pigs like Harold Wolfson and Mark Penn, but I have my fucking shovel out. I have no problem getting dirty with you pigs, slingin’ mud. Let’s do it; I’m in this thing until every last Dem has put down their McCain Lite hogwash in favor of a tall, refreshing glass of Obama.

With all this bogus talk about Clinton momentum, lets’ take a look at the actual numbers as of today:

• Barack Obama didn’t lose any ground this week. Despite all the talk about Hillary Clinton’s big confetti–really, confetti when you are behind in a race that has a long ways to go?–victories, she only netted somewhere between plus-four to plus-10 delegates Tuesday. Obama netted plus-nine delegates in Washington D.C. alone.

• Barack Obama is way ahead in delegates. Even including super delegates, HRC is still at least 100 total delegates behind no matter who you ask.

• Barack Obama has won 27 out of 41 states. He has also won 13 of the last 16.

• Barack Obama is winning the total popular vote.

• Barack Obama crushed the monthly fundraising record by raising $55 million in February. HRC raised $35 million, and gloated about it for a week.

• Barack Obama beats John McCain 52-40 percent in the latest head-to-head poll. HRC only 50-44.

Who’s winning this race? Who still has momentum? Even at 3 AM those numbers aren’t fuzzy at all. Yes, we can!

I must admit that even I’ve been suffering from primary fatigue syndrome to some extent over the past week or so. What I did want to pop on and say, however, is that I am pumped that today is finally here.

I’m sick of Hillary Clinton Tracy Flicking it up in the place. Her attitude is like to hell with the Democratic Party and the rules, we made this party and the nomination is mine. She really thinks that she’s earned this nomination, whether because of her bullshit 35 years of fabricated experience or because she suffered through the most famous blowjob in the history of the world. I disagree. I have never believed in the do-your-time, wait-in-line train of thought. Not in the workplace. Not in entertainment. Not in sports. And certainly not in politics. The best person for the job should get the job, whether they have 60 days or 60 years experience. Life isn’t fair–get over it, HRC.

Can’t you just see her pulling a Tracy Flick and ripping down Barack Obama signs in the hallway during a fit of mad rage? Man, I wish I could pull a Mr. M and screw with the ballots. Why? Not because I’m a dishonest person, but because Hillary is really trying to destroy Barack Obama’s chances of winning the general election. In the process, she could destroy the Democratic Party, a party on the verge of a major restoration. I used to respect the Clintons, now I’m getting sick of this bitch, her narcissistic prick of a husband and their disgusting sense of entitlement. I have never seen anyone spin like the Clintons before. Two weeks ago, Ohio and Texas was the impenetrable Clinton firewall. Now, if Obama doesn’t win all four states by a landslide margin he loses because he spent more money? Jibberish.

I’m not the only one who sees what the Clintons are doing either. Why else would that pill-popping, racist, neoconservative nutjob Rush Limbaugh tell voters to vote for Billary? Because he wants the Clintons to bloody up BHO for John McCain. They are scared to death of what will become YouTube vs. feeding tube (thanks, Bill Maher). The GOP wants every advantage they can get, and would prefer not to swiftboat a Black candidate, especially when the candidate’s own party mate is doing that dirty work for them.

Here’s the real question: If the tables were turned and Barack Obama was the one who was going to come out of today trailing by an insurmountable amount of elected delegates, would Obama do what’s right for the Democratic Party and its chances in November and drop out? I believe he would, and that’s all you need to know about Barack and Hillary. The race is “Yes, we can” vs. “Yes, I can.” Let’s finish the Clintons off once and for all today, even if they refuse to drop out.
