I was kind of depressed last night, since I'd hoped that Obama would win decisively in Ohio and Texas. But perusing the new delegate totals on Obama's web site, I'm feeling better.
it looks like Clinton will pick up four after all of her "We're back!" hullabaloo.
Big deal. Obama is still 156 pledged delegates ahead with 571 remaining to be chosen. So Clinton needs to win the final twelve races by about 64% - 36% to catch up to Obama.
And that isn't going to happen. She needs the not-so-super superdelegates to hand her the nomination, or have the Democratic Party rules bent so Michigan and Florida delegates are tossed her way.
That'd infuriate me.
Yesterday my spanking fresh voter registration card arrived in the mail with a DEM under "party." I became a Democrat to vote for Obama in the Oregon primary, but that card will be shredded in a flash if he ends up with more pledged delegates and not the nomination.
There's fresh talk of a joint ticket. That'd be fine with me. "Vice-President Clinton" has a ring to it. Some, though, are aghast at the prospect.
I can understand why. However, some dance practice last night pointed out to me why Obama and Clinton could be a good match.
Laurel and I have different dancing strengths. She's much better at rhythm than I am. I'm better at remembering moves.
So often Laurel will say at a practice, "I've forgotten what we learned at our last lesson." I'll then show her the basic steps. She, though, usually has the feel of the dance down better than I do.
Thus we complement each other.
I lead the moves while trying to tune into her beat, because she has a better intuitive sense of rhythm than I do. Maybe someday my right and left dance brains will be equally competent, but they aren't now.
Similarly, Obama has the political beat down while Clinton is better at the policy steps. I don't know if they'd be willing to dance the presidency together. It'd sure be interesting to see them try.
I am so proud of Barrack Obamma I feel it would be a serious mistake if the USA does not have him as President in 2009. Hillary Clinton portrays his/ herself as a woman but is far short of being one, she dresses like a man,talks like a man and acts like a man so I truly believe she would like to be a man. She/he is so full of Hillary she herself does not know which GENDER she is. I hope with all my heart(one of those things Hillary lacks) that Barrack becomes President in 2009, I know he will be ready on that first day to become Commander and Chief.

I'd be leery of having Hillary as a veep if I was Obama. I don't trust them nor their do anything attitude to gain power. There will be a lot of pressure on both of them to accept the other as veep but to me it'd be a mistake for either

Power and greed dictate outcomes in non-reality, NOT conscience.
