There was nothing wrong with what she said.  Does Obama do well with the black demographic?

Saturday Night Live started off with a nice Amy Poehler as Clinton sketch on the weekend. In it she gave reasons why the super delegates should ignore the will of the people and the one that stuck with me was "I would be a sore loser." As in she would say all the right things, do no campaigning for Obama, and quietly encourage her supporters to tank his campaign. Because she's not getting a vice-presidential nod, and doesn't want to wait until 2016 to run again.

Also, the master plan is for Canada to invade the US. You guys just have not figured it out yet. Look around and see how many Canadian you have met. We are everywhere

By invade you mean hang around, look at furniture, and drink coffee while the dollars are at parity right?

Don't forget buying cheese and gas.

And the first wave would be Lorne Greene and Fay Wray. We are everywhere.

Tried to find a list and found one on wikipedia. Too many names to mention.

The Obama slip-up. Did he mean 47 states or 57 states and territories? Because as far as I know he's visited some places outside the 50 states that had american voters. Did someone check his campaign trail list?

This is the kind of stuff that bugs me about the news media. It was a simple slip of the tongue and people go nuts about it. A few years back in Canada, a politician said that the St. Lawrence ran in the opposite direction than it actually did. The press had a field day. Who cares?

Just remembered another example. Years ago, a politician was seen as too stiff and formal due to his nice suits. He got attacked non-stop for his fancy dress, so he showed up one day in jeans and a flannel shirt. The press went nuts. "What is he trying to hide?" "Where is his suit?" The guy could not win.

None of the territories can vote in the general election. Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands have primaries. American Samoa and Guam had caucuses. Most of the unorganized territories are uninhabited except for a few with military bases. I'd bet money he didn't go to Guam or Samoa but could've visited Puerto Rico and maybe vacationed in the Virgin Islands.
