A day late

Irregardless of that fact, I’m still here to offer up my 1-5 readers the analysis that they have come to expect (namely: next to none… apparently my mood is somewhat snarky today). Anyway, Hillary’s momentum was short lived, and Obama even made gains in California, creating an 8 delegate swing there, along with (as predicted pretty much everywhere) eventually winning the Texas delegate battle. What this all means is that despite the fact that Obama has won two “small” states, he’s in better shape than he was before March 4th. Hillary supporters can protest and theorize all they want, but the math isn’t there (and no, saying McCain is a better potential president than Obama is doesn’t help, though it is incredibly shortsighted). The only way she gets the presidency at this point is by subverting the Democratic process (though in all fairness, she has shown that her winning is more important than a silly democracy). Because she’s still in the race, it means that John McCain can (for better or worse) coast pretty much unscathed to the late summer, in all likelyhood. It might mean he will have to continue to level attacks at both candidates, but he’s already been shown to focus more on Obama, while Obama has to continue to fend off Clinton to allow the perception that he’s weak to not go unanswered (because superdelegates are a potentially fickle bunch). I’m pretty much calling the nomination for Obama at this point. Let’s see if I’m wrong in 5 months.

It’s always surprising to see Nanci Pelosi do something which might be perceived as anything other than caving in, but it looks like the truth.

If the roles were reversed, Clinton would call for whomever Obama’s moronic equivlant to Ferraro happened to be to be fired.  Apparently that standard need not be applied to her own campaign though. Calling her a monster might be hyperbole, but it was a statement based in truth, while there is no evidence of a factual basis for Ferraro’s statements.

Did you see this bullshit? Caucus delegates are now apparently different from pledged delegates, and why? Because Clinton is losing the bulk of the Caucuses.

Daily Show!

Florida? Out of luck.

Olbermann and Maddow on Countdown last night. Good stuff. Also, watch out for the special comment on tonight’s episode.

Tucker Carlson’s show is canceled. I’m not a huge fan, but I’d still rather see Matthews go first (though Tucker will be staying on as a political analyst).

Bill Maher on Spitzer (I’m leaving this one alone for the most part. I’m not against prostitution, so I couldn’t care less).

Spin anyone? I’ll slightly buy the argument with regards to Florida, but Michigan was a joke and even Bill Clinton has acknowledged that (though not in such harsh words). If Hillary cared that much, she would have adressed this before it looked like she was finished.

I’m out.
