Which blogger said this:

Clinton was the only top-tier candidate to refuse the ultimate Iowa and New Hampshire pander by removing her name from the Michigan ballot. That makes her essentially the de facto winner since Edwards and Obama, caving to the cry babies in Iowa and New Hampshire, took their name off Michigan's ballot. Sure, the DNC has stripped Michigan of its delegates, but that won't last through the convention. The last thing Democrats can afford is to alienate swing states like Michigan and Florida by refusing to seat their delegates.

John McCay, the owner and operator of that unique and excellent blog, Archy, a man and a blog that do credit to "Blogtopia," (thank-you skippy), is approaching a birthday of moment; that's what I like to call such birthdays, it sounds better to me than seminal. (Full disclosure, I faced this particular one some years ago.)

skippy that would be, one of our all-time favorite bloggers.

Yes, skippy is there with Mrs. skippy, and he's live-blogging from Las Vegas. Some random samples:

christy hardin smith, recovering lawyer:

which brings us to karl rove. the investigation is ongoing. she says that because she heard pat fitzgerald say "the investigation is on going." and the judge presiding over the libby case said "the investigation is on going." so, she guesses the invesigation is still ongoing. (many chuckles in the room).

plame ol' common sense

larry richard johnson:

he's not a leftist or liberal, he's a conservative. but he's not sure what a conservative means anymore in this administration. he's puzzled watching other conservatives defending the administration.

look! up in the sky! it's a bird! it's a plame!
