Hillary's Strategy: Insult 40 States

From Kos:
Mark Penn:
Could we possibly have a nominee who hasn't won any of the significant states -- outside of Illinois? That raises some serious questions about Sen. Obama.
Funny how the states that "matter" are the ones that Hillary Clinton happen to win. Who knew? Poor New Mexico is in limbo, still unsure about whether it matters or not since all the votes still haven't been counted.

Really, has there ever been a more idiotic line of spin in the history of politics, the suggestion that because Obama didn't win a Democratic primary in California or New York, that those two solid Democratic states are suddenly out of reach for him in November? With that logic, it's obvious Clinton has no chance in Illinois, since she got crushed there!

But worse than that, how is Clinton expected to win some of those important states that "don't matter", like Colorado, Missouri, Washington, Minnesota, Virginia, Maryland, Maine, Delaware, Iowa, and Connecticut?

Well, not insulting them as meaningless, for one.
I really want to keep quiet. I really want to be excited about her candidacy. But GAWD...her campaign really gives me a headache.
