In Monday’s Washington Post, Obama’s chief strategist, David Axelrod, is quoted as saying, “I think one of the things driving the national polls is that the red states are redder.” Is Axelrod right?

Well maybe at least the Obama campaign can console themselves that she won’t be voting for McCain either. Instead, Clinton Texas delegate Frances Morey of Austin simply plans on leaving the top spot unmarked.

Newsbusters.org has written a great article on PUMA power today, “MSM Mostly Ignores Surge of Anti-Obama PUMA Democrat Activity.” A choice quote: Imagine if a bunch of disgruntled Mitt Romney supporters were currently stalking John McCain or Republican events loudly demanding that their candidate be nominated.
