Wolfson: "Andrews is NOT from Indiana ! " Andrews: "McCarthyism." (Same Song, Different Day)
True to their Primary Colors, when the Clintons lose it is always the fault of someone other than the Clintons, as we have seen time and time again.

Richardson is a Judas. Caucuses aren't democratic. Small states don't count. Voters who vote for Obama don't count. Now, with the latest defection of Joe Andrews, former DNC Chair, Wolfson declares the Super Delegate from Indiana is.. well.. NOT from Indiana. On Olbermann, Andrews laughs and compares it to McCarthyism.

Joe Andrews is my new Super Hero and I am posting this in honor of his bravery, leadership and tenacity ! We need more Democrats like him.

A bit of an odd exchange on MSNBC just now: Howard Wolfson was asked by Andrea Mitchell to respond to former DNC chair Joe Andrew's switch to Obama.

Wolfson seemed to suggest that Andrew isn't really from Indiana, but Hillary is really from New York...

Wolfson: Well, I'm not sure by the way that he's actually from Indiana. I know he's originally from Indiana, but --
Mitchell: Well it's sort of like Hillary Clinton being from Illinois, or New York, or Scranton, or Arkansas --

Wolfson: No, she lives in New York, and so when she -- she's a senator from New York, so she's from New York.

Parsing this a bit, it would appear to mean that you're not actually from a state if you were born there, but you are from a state if you moved there in your early fifties to get elected Senator.

:rofl: The Hillbots on DU seem to suffer from the same navigational challenges. (Their perpetual do-it-yourself cranial colonoscopies doesn't seemt to yield much more than feces, polyps, and diverticula.)

6. The Clintons' campaign is a joke - her surrogates are fools
I've lived in six states - but when asked, "Where are you from?" I always say I am from Pennsylvania (where I was born and raised) but I now live in __________.

They are so desperate to discredit anyone who doesn't bite on their foolishness. It's pitiful.

7. Andrew's endorsement letter was powerful
It took away any real ability to hit Andrew like they did Richardson. This is all of the nonsense that the Clinton camp could muster. Poor things.

8. Talk about missing the point! Who cares what state Andrew is from?
Would his decision to switch from Clinton to Obama have been any less noteworthy if he was from Idaho?

9. They're just proving Andrews' point about why he left the HRC camp
The attacks, the negativity. Who needs their angry spin?

12. As a New Yorker, I can unequivocally say
that Hillary is NOT from New York.
Not even close.
