"'She's no longer campaigning for president,' said Clinton spokesman Mo Elleithee. 'She's focused on her work in the Senate, campaigning for Senator Obama and other Democrats.'" With the Dems back on the same team, the Clinton campaign scrubs its website of anti-Obama material from the primary era. As such, this seems as good a time as any to definitively put to rest these Penn-inspired primary fictions as well:

  • "Sen. Obama won't be able to compete in crucial swing states.": He's currently up in Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, as well as Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Colorado, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Iowa, and Virginia...and does Montana count?

  • "Sen. Obama can't even win the big Dem states": The most recent polls have Obama up 28 in California and up 20 in New York.

  • "Sen. Obama has a 'Latino problem'": Obama currently beats McCain by 30 among Hispanics, 59%-29%. (This is already better than Kerry in 2004.)

    So R.I.P., goofy primary reasoning. You won't be missed.

    Amen, GitM. Won't be missed, indeed. Here's hoping Penn follows his bogus arguments into the memory hole... and stays there.
