Hillary has redefined math - now claiming she has the popular vote even though the states that put her over the edge (Michigan and Florida) she pledged not to count nor was she supposed to campaign in. Interestingly, other than Obermann, none of the press are calling her on that. Yet!

Newsweek is obsessed with current NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg making an independent run for President. But seriously, 3 lead candidates from NYC (Hillary, Rudy, Bloomy) might cause a 2nd Civil War. The only thing that'll shake up this 2008 field is if Reagan rises from the dead - not that we're a fan of The Gipper - but cause the GOP field is the one floundering. Gore running would help batter Hillary, which wouldn't be a bad thing either. Who knows - maybe Edwards and Romney can make some noise and turn the tables come primary time.
