I know were very excited over last nights results.  We came into the evening expecting Barack Obama to lose by 100 delegates, and he came out of the evening slightly ahead.  Even though Obama beat generous expectations, the media believed the hype and the crazy polls (silly Zogby), and expected more in some cases (such as victories in MA and CA).

But with news today of Hillary Clinton's self financing, and cutting of staff pay, along the shifting media narrative that the Clinton Campaign is in trouble, there may be a tendency to rejoice a bit too much.

I will support both, not because I believe either is the best answer, but because I want to send a strong statement to the Iraqi government, the President and my Republican colleagues that it's long past time to change course.

Seeing that there isn't one yet, I'll throw one out for tonight.
