She reminds me of when my youngest sister was about 3 years old and would come to me and her other siblings and tell us we lost and which marker was ours in a children's board game that she had just played moving all the pieces herself. We thought it funny, but she quit doing it when she was 4 or 5.

This morning CNN was discussing the Obama claim that he had a commanding lead to the nomination. It was beyond strange - they admitted that yes, his lead in pledged delegates was insurmountable and that he had won more states, but .... Has any other LOSING, LAGGING candidate gotten anywhere near this amount of support? The closest I remember was a lone deluded NYT OP-ED (note NOT editorial) that the Democratic nominee would be John - but the last name wasn't fixed - arguing for Edwards, who at that time had won 1 state to Kerry's 16 and was behind by double digits in the next week's events that Kerry easily essentially clinched the nomination. This year, with a much closer election, it's a HUGE segment of the media - likely intimidated by the Clintons.
