...clear that even this kind of in-person urging will be enough to give Clinton a win in Washington. Obama has raised close to twice as much money as Clinton here, and on Wednesday the state's largest union, the Service Employees International, endorsed him. Its membership is equal in number to the entire turnout of the 2004 Democratic caucuses. On a conference call announcing the endorsement, Washington Rep. Adam Smith, one of Obama's few superdelegates, said he expected Obama to win the state. "We are very confident in getting our people out and having a very strong showing...
...scope of this budgetary immoderation: with these endless hikes America has earned the lamentable distinction of spending as much on war-making as the rest of the world combined. Indeed, if we disregard the 13 other highest spenders (for the most part American allies), Washington actually throws more than twice as much money into defense as the remaining 158 countries. To call such spending “excessive” would be euphemistic. When we consider that China’s defense budget is one-tenth the size of our own, $585.4 billion seems less like good-hearted overindulgence...

That fund-raising haul was better than twice the $13.5 million that Clinton took in over the same period. If anything, the Super Tuesday results, coupled with additional wins in coming weeks, are likely to bring in an even bigger flood of contributions to Obama, whose Internet-fueled coffers were already flush enough to buy Super Bowl advertising in the post-Super Tuesday primary states...
...People are especially jazzed about the Democratic race. For every three votes cast in the Republican primary, there were more than four cast in the Democratic contest. Both of the top Democrats, Obama and Hillary Clinton, won more than twice as many votes as the top Republican finisher, McCain...
...skeptical of all future reports that Hillary Clinton is fading. Twice now, after the Iowa caucuses and on the eve of Super Tuesday, Obama has surged in the polls and thrilled the Democratic elites. And his strength in this race is real. Yesterday in Missouri, he drew roughly as many votes as the entire Democratic field - eight candidates - tallied four years ago. But Clinton is just as strong. Her losing effort this year racked up nearly twice as many votes as John Kerry managed in his landslide 2004 primary victory. This is a battle of behemoths, and if Missouri...
