Standing on the sidelines and waxing eloquence on a war without access to the intelligence and being held politically accountable for the vote is typical of OBAMALEON SOLUTION TO COMPLEX ISSUES: OBAMA’S Illinois record of voting “PRESENT” or PUSHING THE WRONG BUTTON on several votes or just MIA (missing in action...just like the IRAN issue). As the GREAT UNITER himself admitted, he had no idea how he would have voted if he had been in the US Senate himself.

McCain carries the evidence of his true patriotism: I am moved to tears (clintonesque!! except since I am not the woman running for office I can cry as often as I want!) whenever I see him standing with his twisted and broken arm ever so obvious and cannot but wonder what OBAMA would have done as a POW?? invited his torturers to a ROUNDTABLE???

My friends, McCain can’t win. My friends, he only talks about radical Islamic terrorism, my friends.... my friends, he’s a one trick pony way past his prime, my friends.... he’s flip-flopped on every position he stood for in the Senate. My friends..... my friends.... my friends.... he’s still an ultra-weak candidate, my friends.

Obama won more states. Hillary won more delegates. The race is still much too close to call re any nomination.
Kudos to Obama: Closing the gap. Carrying largely conservative states like Kansas, Alaska, Utah, ND, ID, some by commanding leads. Did very well in college towns (his win in Kansas was almost entirely due to this).
Kudos to Hillary: Carrying CA, MA, NY, NJ by commanding margins. MA vote of interest as it seems to repudiate the state’s “favorite son” (TK). Hillary also carried some traditionally conservative states, including AZ (and by a larger margin than McCain in his own state...)
Important primaries still to come: TX, OH, PA, VA, WI.
Major concern: “President McCain.”
Congrats to both Dems.
Peace.
