When Will it End?
It's the turn of Kentucky and Oregon tonight, two more dissimilar states you couldn't hope to find. Kentucky suits the whisky-drinking, faux-rural campaigning style that Hillary Clinton has adopted of late as a last desperate attempt to snatch victory from defeat in the primaries, while Oregon includes plenty of those young, intellectual types that eat up the "Change" message that Obama has been peddling. The bottom line - tonight probably won't change anything. Obama has won but Clinton will march on into oblivion....sigh....

MSNBC didn't waste any time calling Kentucky tonight for Hillary Clinton. At 7 p.m. with less than 5% - mostly Louisville area - votes counted and Hillary with only a 2% margin, Chris Matthews called it.
And it seems as if the pundits were right. Coming up on 8 pm with a third of the votes counted, Hillary has now sprinted into a 20% lead over Barack. The pundits are now struggling to make sense of why a predominantly white, rural state might not want to vote for an East-Coast educated Black guy...hmmmm....
And here comes Hillary claiming victory and promising to explain "why we're all here."
Blind stubborness? Rank racism? Er, no. Apparently it has something to do with "the promise of hope for the future." Sure, Hillary, people in Appalachia have always been right there advocating for progressive social change. Riiiight....
Apparently Hillary has won more votes than any other person in the history of the universe.
I can't believe that people buy this populist crap that she's been spewing in the past few weeks since Ohio. Don't these people remember that Bill was Mr. NAFTA, Mr. Downsizing and Mr. Outsourcing? Give me a break!
The MSNBC hacks are in rich form again tonight. After Obama's loss in Ohio, they all chimed in with "he spent all that time and money in Ohio and still lost!"
Now, after he ducked out on the obvious loser of Kentucky, they're all decrying decision. If you were Obama, would you hang out in a state with a bunch of rural white guys with guns who are open about not wanting to vote for a Black guy? Didn't think so.
I may have to stay up for Oregon just to put a smile on my face.
Wotcher, mate! You'll have a late night, then. They probably won't have any results until 12 or 1 at least. But he should win handily.
That speech from your man Barack must have put a smile back on your face. Very different tone from Hillary's. Somehow she never got around to referencing Selma. I wonder why?....
The Obama camp is pumping the Earth, Wind and Fire nugget "Shining Star" in the backdrop. Nice choice. I far prefer it to the Mellencamp and Springsteen rubbish that he had on before he took the stage, but I'd still like to hear Rick James doing "Mary Jane."
I just got out of the bath . . . am nursing a sore hammy . . . there's no way in the world I'm going to be awake in an hour . . . how much is the good guy going to win Oregon by?
