D66-list,
Hein asked me to tell the following.
It's tough to think of two states more different than Wyoming and
Mississippi.

But we won Wyoming on Saturday, and we just learned that we won
Mississippi by a large margin tonight.

Between those two states, we picked up enough delegates to erase the
gains by Senator Clinton last Tuesday and add to our substantial lead in
earned delegates. And in doing so we showed the strength and breadth of
this movement.

But just turn on the news and you'll see that Senator Clinton continues
to run an expensive, negative campaign against us. Each day her campaign
launches a new set of desperate attacks.

They're not just attacking me; they're attacking you. Yes you too, D66.

Over the weekend, an aide to Senator Clinton attempted to diminish the
overwhelming number of contests we've won by referring to places we've
prevailed as "boutique" states and our supporters as the "latte-sipping
crowd."

I'm not sure how those terms apply to Mississippi and Wyoming -- or
Virginia, Iowa, Louisiana, or Idaho for that matter.

I know that our victories in all of these states demonstrate a rejection
of this kind of petty, divisive campaigning.

But the fact remains that Senator Clinton's campaign will continue to
attack us using the same old Washington playbook. And now that John
McCain is the Republican nominee, we are forced to campaign on two fronts.

Barack
