* This is an old saying that actually goes: “Poor Mexico. So far from God…”

It never ceases to amaze that John McCain has no worries about being sullied by association with the Bush-Cheney regime:

Cheney is set to headline a closed-press reception in [...]

Clinton’s 10-delegate net* wasn’t the only the underwhelming result of the Pennsylvania primary. One poll shows she’s not getting much of a boost in popularity either. Rasmussen Daily Tracking for today:
