Can Someone Prep the Fat Lady to Sing?

I think The fat lady is about to sing. I think we will see a flood of super delegates tomorrow jumping on the Obama ship that is about to sail into the general election. Barack won big in North Carolina and either barely lost Indiana (which is still a victory when you figure that everyone said he'd lose by 8-10) or barely won it. Either way, he was the clear winning and the wind is at his back again.

Running the numbers, after tonight Obama has more delegates and votes than Clinton-- even IF you count Michigan and Florida.

His victories are even more impressive when you factor in that the last 3 weeks he has been kicked around like a football. Yet despite all of this, Obama finally closed the deal and pretty much slammed of the door.

He has showen that he too is a fighter, he's resilient and can take a punch. He has shown by this impressive come back that he can take whatever the Republicans can throw at him. The Wright issue didn't appear to be as bad as predicted so I think that he has weathered the storm. If the GOP tries to bring that up again and beat that dead horse it still won't make it get up and run again for ya.

I think a key in his victories tonight was his opposition to the ridiculous gas tax holiday which was an insult to American voters. His opposition underlines his honesty and his authenticity to tell us what we need to hear even if it it's not "politically expedient."

Denver here we come!!!

Wednesday Update: Former presidential candidate, nominee and Clinton supporter George McGovern has switched his support to Obama and is urging Hillary to drop out of the race.

Lets hope she finally draws back the rhetoric and runs a quiet campaign until June... WTF was I thinking? It's a Clinton we are talking about! That won't happen!

T&A: Yeah I'm afraid you're right that she'll hang on to the bitter end. She's such a sore loser.

Good for McGovern. I don't think he'll be alone for much longer. I think many are going to echo his sentiments soon.

I noticed a clip on youtube from fox where ted nugent critcised obama in a most vocal, personal and non factual attack during a concert.

It was basically a typical Ted rant about how Obama is a fuckwit or something, and fox showed it and would brook no criticism of the Nuge, basically saying that it was not as bad as Obama saying he will pull troops out of Iraq or something, and the host just talking over the top of his invited Democrat guest, not allowing any sensible comment. Fuck, it was so annoying, I'm glad I never watch fox, they are imbecilic.

Tex: Yeah Ted Nugent is a total wacko radical conservative with a arsenal of guns. Scary combination.

Typical American right-wing fascist.
