Iowa didn’t matter because it was a caucus state, and it’s undemocratic. Same goes for every other caucus state including Maine. The only caucus state that mattered was Nevada.
Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Alaska, and Utah don’t matter because they’re small Red states that Democrats won’t carry in November.
Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and Louisiana don’t matter because they have black people. Expect the same spin out of DC this Tuesday. Black people don’t apparently count.
Washington and Minnesota don’t matter because they have educated white people.
In any case, Washington, Nebraska, and Louisiana didn’t matter on Saturday because everyone expected Obama to win them anyway.
Virginia and Maryland, assuming they’re won by Obama, will be a combination of the “black people” and “educated people” rationalizations. Throw a little of “Obama was expected to win anyway”, and you’ve got the trifecta.
Illinois doesn’t matter because that’s Obama’s home state. Expect the same spin when Obama wins Hawaii by double-digit margins in two weeks.
Missouri doesn’t matter because Clinton sent out a press release claiming she won it.
Colorado was a caucus state, so that leaves Delaware and Connecticut. Those are the only two states that apparently matter, giving Hillary Clinton a commanding 10-2 lead among states that matter.

Kos hasn’t liked Hillary from the beginning and this is just more of the same. I wonder what he will do when his candidate Obama finally gets vetted by the MSM, and the mania begins to ease to dull normal. Will we see similar press releases coming from Daily Kos as apologias for Barack? This is the reason I don’t work in Democratic campaigns anymore. The bitchiness within is worse than anything outside.
To add to this: it’s not that New Mexico doesn’t count. It’s just that New Mexico CAN’T count.
