Hard-working White Folks

David Duke is gone and the hard-working white voter needs a champion. This week they found it in Hillary Clinton. In USA Today, Clinton made it clear:

“Sen. Obama’s support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me.”

It is good to know that there is still someone in the Democratic party that is not afraid to stand up for the white man. And to call a spade, a spade. It might not make her the nominee. But she definitely has a shot at Grand Dragon.

Obama picks up more superdelegates

While this is not suprising, it is curious that, according to the AP count, Senator Clinton still leads in superdelegates. What is more curious is that she leads by half a superdelegate. Check out MSNBC.com:

The developments left the former first lady with 271.5 superdelegates, to 271 for Obama, according to an Associated Press count.

This can only mean one of two things: There exisits a superdelegate who is only half-heartedly supporting Hillary. Or, my other theory: Mini Me has been secretly included as an honorary superdelegate.

Hillary loans campaign $6 million

Hillary Clinton just loaned her campaign $6-million. Presumably, to buy up every one of these before they hit the news stands.

“Obama has the nomination”

At least, that is what Tim Russert is saying. Tim, you might want to mention that to Hillary. Winning Indiana probably makes her think otherwise. You think?

Big

Tom Hanks thinks this next presidential election is big. He even has a thought on who we should vote for. Hint: Hanks lives in Hollywood.

Kentucky Derby

The Democratic presidential contest continues to be quite a horse race. Obama is ahead by a nose. Then he is behind in the polls. Hillary wins Texas or Pennsylvania and she starts whinnying for unmoderated debates. The Rev Wright jockeys for position and Obama starts to look like a dark horse all over again. It’s what makes horse races interesting. But the real Kentucky Derby is over now and the filly didn’t win. The good news is she came in a strong second. The bad news is they had to shoot her. I think there’s a moral here somewhere. Maybe Senator Clinton will heed it. But probably not.

Can I get an Amen?

Yes, Rev Wright has been taken out of context. Yes, his sound bites have been unfairly used against Senator Obama. Yes, race-baiting still works in America because racism is endemic to the fallen nature of man. And yes, Jeremiah Wright needs to put a sock in it. And soon.

Rocky victory

All the pundits said that Hillary stays in if she wins Pennsylvania by double digits. And she did. Just barely. It is all so Rocky! ( Even if she had won by 9 points, something tells me she would still be in their plugging away.) Of course, the real winner is John McCain. Even though there are still two Democratic candidates in the ring taking jabs at him, Hillary always seems to be helping him take a swing at Obama. (First with the Wright, then with the Farrakhan, pow, pow, pow). Very Rocky, indeed. Cut my eye. Cut my eye.

And you thought Hillary was polarizing

Just to balance out this Obama/Clinton face off, Michael Moore has weighed in. He is putting his ample girth on the Obama side of the ledger. Already, I am liking Obama less. Wow! This guy Moore really is polarizing!!

Sneaky, underhanded liars

As a rule, sneaky underhanded politicians have made very good presidents. Take this one. He ended the war in Vietnam (he had a secret plan, you may recall; the secret was it was no plan at all). He opened the doors to trade with China (you know, China? They’re the ones currently financing our national budget and enjoying the manufacturing jobs that our unemployed factory workers used to do). This guy honed sneaky to an art! Then there was William Jefferson Clinton (AKA , Slick Willy). Very sneaky. But a heck of a President. He signed NAFTA into law. You remember NAFTA? (Those Chinese certainly do). Anyway, despite the sneaky, dishonest shenanigans that these two did in the Oval office (with or without their pants on), they were, all in all, pretty first-rate presidents. So it comes as a bit of a shock that Hillary’s poll numbers are dropping all due to the fact she is perceived as sneaky and dishonest. Why, of course, the old girl is dishonest! Don’t be silly. How else could she be ready for the job day one?
