Obama '08?

Damn, I wish I could have stayed up last night... anyone see Obama's speech? How was it?

This seems to have actually finally maybe have been a game-changer, instead of the slow creep we've had. Hillary on Friday:

Quote:

Today, Clinton stressed the importance of the North Carolina contest.

"This primary election on Tuesday is a game changer. This is going to make a huge difference in what happens going forward. The entire country - probably even a lot of the world is looking to see what North Carolina decides."

Yeah, and now the game has changed. Now the game is, "Why can't Florida and Michigan count? It's not fair! Waah, waah, waah!!!"

Be prepared to hear that desperate bullshit whine for the next few weeks.

If these numbers are correct, Mrs. Bill Clinton can not even make that BS argument. I would love to see her try though!

No; it's done. It's over. If for no other reason then the media decided last night that it was over.

My god

I can't wait for the general. I can't f*cking wait. If the Republicans think that they can win off of character assassination, they're idiots.

Stephanapolous reported today that s-d's are going to be coming out in batches for Obama to seal the deal.

Chicago must belong to some kind of parallel universe.

As they say on MSNBC: "Tell me something, I don't know"!

She still has the "scorched earth" card to play.

What does the media have to say about it? Are you claiming it is they that determines the outcome. Why have an election in November?

Tom Daschle, an Obama supporter, said in an interview today on MSNBC that undecided superdelegates would be more than "ticked" if the Clinton campaign tries to force the so-called "nuclear option" and encourages the Rules and Bylaws committee, which meets May 31st, to seat the Florida and Michigan delegates.

The former South Dakota senator said he was amazed at the number of undecided superdelegates that have called him in the last 24 hours saying that it would be an "absolute disaster."

Asked if the superdelegates would be "ticked" if the nuclear option were implemented he replied, "If we overturn what has happened in all these elections all over the country and do something like that, ticked is mild compared to the feeling I am getting from reports all over the country today."

No; it's done. It's over. If for no other reason then the media decided last night that it was over.

We now find out that the Clintons loaned themselves another $6.4 million and that, according to Stephanopoulos,

"More superdelegates will come out today for Barack Obama -they will come three, four, five at a time, and this nomination will be locked up."

Lack of expierence should be McCains approach as the way to beat Obama. I think he will let the media and other loudmouths talk about "character assassination".
