FL and MI
I'm a little hesitant to post this video. It's too long, and I've got way too much caffeine in my system right now for this sort of thing. After the half-way mark, it turns into pro-Hillary campaign commerical. You can skip that stuff.
But the first half cleverly explains some little-known facts about the disastrous Michigan and Florida primary situations. My god -- who would have thought that the movement for paper trail elections could be used against Democrats?
Obama's refusal to permit a revote in those two states was, in a sense, comprehensible. Infuriating, yet understandable. But why in hell did Howard Dean embrace that decision? It's as though these two men entered into a suicide pact and decided to take the party with them.
I cannot believe that this is the Dean I once admired. He must go.
Good news: According to one very recent poll, Clinton is closing in on Barack Obama in Oregon. TalkLeft's headline: "Is A Funny Thing Happening On the Way To Obama's Coronation?"
Obama 45
Clinton 41
Undecided 8
Refused 6
I would bet money, if I had money, that the actuals will show a decisive Obama win. Still, at the moment, we can dream.

As an Oregonian (Western, not Eastern, and there is a distinction), I'd guess that it'll be closer than "decisive." Sure, there's a lot of talk about Obama here, but being that a lot of that is centered around the various Universities, there might be a good portion of those who support him loudly who really voted in another state. Even around the Universities (I'm a student and work and live near one), there's a good deal of positive talk about Hillary, so it gives me hope.

I'm grateful for the feedback, Kyre.
Outstanding video...one of the best I've seen. I especially liked the Groundhog Day clips at the end - how true!
