...Rely on the Historic RNC Advantage March was a good example of the disparity between the two candidates' financial machines. McCain attended 26 fund raisers in 24 cities, raising about $15 million. Obama, who was still engaged in a nomination fight, raised more than $40 million, and attended just six fund raisers. God bless the Internet. Much of that Obama money will now be channeled into a major voter registration and get-out-the-vote operation.

The 12 delegates who will be chosen on Saturday each have to represent...
...there] was a seminal moment, in Dearborn, when we were at that debate, the CNBC-MSNBC debate. And the question was asked, 'How do you think the economy is doing?' And down the line Republicans go, 'Ah, it's going great, just terrific.' They are all quoting RNC talking points - 22 consecutive quarters of great economic growth - telling us all these things that are right off the page. And they came to me, and I took a lot of criticism for it, but I said, 'Well, for a lot of guys on this stage the economy is doing really well...
