Not too shabby
February 5th, 2008
In terms of pure strategy, Obama has made up a lot of ground compared to what he was polling in most of these places just a week ago. He’s picking up enough states to sound good, and wracking up more delegates than expected in Illinois and Georgia. I think he’ll end up with slightly more than half of the delegates up for grabs tonight, and he had to overcome unfavorable early voting and the Clinton machine to do it. Just hope the press gives him the proper recognition for it. Now it’s up to the West to keep giving him good results later tonight. Like someone on another blog said, it feels like halftime.

I was expecting a land slide for my man, so I am a little disappointed that the mad mama hasn’t gone home yet. Ooh, that’s sexist. Well, she is mad, in the English sense, and is and will be same ‘ol, same ‘ol.
As a one time inexperienced young candidate said “the same old experience is irrelevant”.
Obama will take the delegate count and pull far enough ahead in the coming months to render the “supers” meaningless thus largely neutralizing insider hillary.
California’s early primary backfired, serves us right, now we are rendered moot and the nomination will be decided elsewhere.
Hahaha
