Bully Pulpit

Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Obama victory call: Obama's strength, and Limbaugh's

(The Politico) - David Plouffe and a series of big gun endorsers are holding a conference call to stress the scale of last night's victory.

"He clearly did more than he had to and she did not achieve what she had to," said Senator John Kerry.

Both Plouffe and Kerry stressed the importance of the Limbaugh Effect.

"Rush Limbaugh was tampering with the primary," Kerry said "If it was not for Republicans taking Democratic ballots, he would have won (Indiana)," he said of Obama...

...Kerry and other top Obama supporters stressed his gains with working-class voters and his strength with independents.

Plouffe also said May 20 will be "an incredibly important moment in the campaign."

That's the day "when senator obama clinches the majority of the delegates."
