Griper Blade: Clinton's Mad Quest

Turns out a whole state had a primary yesterday -- who knew? You'd think all of that kind of thing would've been cancelled so networks could cover Eliot Spitzer 24/7. Nothing like a good ol' fashioned hooker scandal to suck up all the oxygen in the newsroom. About the only time I've seen the election campaigns mentioned in regular news rotation was to mention that Spitzer backed Hillary. It's kind of a "who cares?" sort of thing, since until a few days ago, he was widely respected on the left and the endorsement was worth bragging about. I don't see how you can fault her for it; as far as anyone knew, he was the cleanest guy on Earth.

That state that had it's primary yesterday? Turns out it's some place down south called "Mississippi." Barack Obama won. In fact, losing Mississippi wasn't the only bad news Team Clinton got yesterday; she also lost Texas.

CNN:

Sen. Barack Obama will win Mississippi's Democratic primary, CNN projects.

Sen. Barack Obama leads in the overall delegate count, according to CNN calculations.

Obama will also finish first in the Texas Democratic caucuses, which were held last week.

He will get more delegates out of the state than rival Sen. Hillary Clinton, who won the state's primary.

Not the best news she's gotten all week...
