The Wednesday ‘BushWhack’ing

There was another primary yesterday that was won (handedly) by Sen. Clinton.

• Now that she’s won WV, she can leave the race the way she entered – head held high with dignity. Otherwise, it’ll be anarchy. You know, dogs and cats living together… Mass. Hysteria. Though I could be bloviating a tad. My personal opinion is Her speech last night was lacking something… it was lacking any attacks and barbs towards Sen. Obama. I think she is starting to work more towards re-uniting the party that she knows she fractured, and in winning WV and then Kentucky, she’ll be able to bow out more gracefully. I think she knows her campaign is done and is working to mend fences… though it’s also possible that somewhere, somehow I drank the Kool-Aid. But I don’t think so…
• Sen. Obama grabbed 2 more super-delegates this morning…
• Need more proof that “President” Bush is dis-connected to the majority of Americans? How about this? “For the first time, Bush revealed a personal way in which he has tried to acknowledge the sacrifice of soldiers and their families: He has given up golf. "I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf," he said. "I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.” (But vacations, baseball, party’s and everything else is apparently ok… what a schmuck)
• A new Quinnipiac University poll shows that both Democratic candidates could beat McCain in November. Obama beats McCain by 7 points in the poll, 47% to 40%, while Clinton beats him by 5 points, 46% to 41%. (Knowing that politics is fluid and can change, I will keep my gloating in check until after the election… though that’s hard to do)
• “President” Bush is in the Middle East in a desperate attempt to save his legacy. Too little, too late…
• Democrat Travis Childers won a gop-held (since 1995) House seat in Mississippi yesterday by an eight-point margin, which gives House republicans another hit with their third special-election defeat this spring… sometimes the desire to gloat it almost too much to bear…
• Showing why some conservatives don’t trust him, McCain says that clean energy is a national security issue… this should end well. And by that I mean for Democrats. It’s gonna be ugly for republicans…
• The House ignored Bush’s vows of a veto and approved, 97-1, to temporarily stop filling the SPR in an attempt to alleviate increasing gas prices. Stay tuned…
• And have we mentioned? That a 19-year-old freshman at the University of Oklahoma was elected mayor of Muskogee Oklahoma yesterday? The freshman, John Tyler Hammons, won with a staggering 70% of the vote over former Mayor Hershel McBride. (He was running on a platform of keeping citizens better informed of city operations and, per the course for this election cycle, change. Congratulations Mayor-elect Hammon, and good luck)
