Me too! I thought he really handled the questions quite well, especially the hard questions about that nutjob King from Iowa & Ferraro.

I liked his response to the claim that an Obama Presidency would lead to more Al Qaeda recruits - he said recruitment is up because of our invasion into Iraq.

Just saw him as well, did great

Here's the email just received from campaign:

Christina --

It's tough to think of two states more different than Wyoming and Mississippi.

But we won Wyoming on Saturday, and we just learned that we won Mississippi by a large margin tonight.

Between those two states, we picked up enough delegates to erase the gains by Senator Clinton last Tuesday and add to our substantial lead in earned delegates. And in doing so we showed the strength and breadth of this movement.

But just turn on the news and you'll see that Senator Clinton continues to run an expensive, negative campaign against us. Each day her campaign launches a new set of desperate attacks.

They're not just attacking me; they're attacking you.

Over the weekend, an aide to Senator Clinton attempted to diminish the overwhelming number of contests we've won by referring to places we've prevailed as "boutique" states and our supporters as the "latte-sipping crowd."

I'm not sure how those terms apply to Mississippi and Wyoming -- or Virginia, Iowa, Louisiana, or Idaho for that matter.

I know that our victories in all of these states demonstrate a rejection of this kind of petty, divisive campaigning.

But the fact remains that Senator Clinton's campaign will continue to attack us using the same old Washington playbook. And now that John McCain is the Republican nominee, we are forced to campaign on two fronts.

I now know to stay away from the Hill thread...tonight I think I learned Obama supporters aren't welcome on the liberal thread. Very little mature political discourse occurs once torches and pitchforks are mentioned.
Oh, well. I'm OK with only feeling welcome here. It's an inclusive crowd that really believes in hope!

Thanks! I do have to laugh about Wyoming folks being thought of as latte-sipping. Maybe in Jackson Hole, but in the rest of the the state? No way. They're just good, normal hardworking people. I love Wyoming.

I'm sorry, but I drink a lot of Latte's, I'm very sorry... I've just found they are less fattening when made with skim milk than a regular coffee with sugar and cream... that's why I drink them, I'm sorry, I hope you will still accept me

Florida Dems oppose re-vote
Posted: 09:30 PM ET

(CNN) – Florida's House Democratic delegation said in an issued statement Tuesday night they oppose a re-vote in Florida of any kind, including one done by mail.

"We are committed to working with the DNC, the Florida State Democratic party, our Democratic leaders in Florida, and our two candidates to reach an expedited solution that ensures our 210 delegates are seated," the delegation's statement read. "Our House delegation is opposed to a mail-in campaign or any redo of any kind."

Florida Sen. Bill Nelson is strongly advocating a re-vote done by mail.

Bolding is mine.

Thoughts? My initial is that this sinks FL's chances at being seated.

So, you are in Wyoming then? You are the one they were talking about?
Btw, my guess is that in most places in Wyoming the only place you can get a latte is at a BP.

Of course we accept you. We value your input very much!! We're certainly not anti-latte. We're all friends-brought together by our belief in the possibility of change. I love that!!!!

Just thank God you are a Red Sox fan.

I visit Wyoming several times a year. DS goes to law school there. I really love the place, but man, can the wind blow in Laramie.

I think you can get a latte at the student union. Your average farmer or rancher out there, though...I think they still just drink a cup of coffee.

It get's worse, I'm not from Wyoming (they have a ton of powder conditions right now), but I wish I were there now, I'm near Burlington VERMONT, yes, the most liberal state in the union & d*mn proud of it, I'm a Mass. transplant as of this year and couldn't be happier...

There are lots of places to get latte's here

I'm glad you guys will accept me even drinking latte's and rooting for the Red Sox!

And, probably straight black. No cream or sugar for them. That's the cowboy way.
