Well, it was a long time coming. Obama had it won after Super Tuesday. And, then, he ran off 11 straight caucus victories. And, still Clinton didn’t give up. Part of this is admirable, of course, The part that wasn’t were the personal attacks th at will go straiight to McCain’s fall ads.

Tonight was an achievement of historic proportions. Here was a first-term senator who beat Hillary Clinton. Clinton had this thing won. I was hoping that Edwards would take her out. And, perhaps, he might have. But, he was really too angry. He was hitting all the right notes, but he offered no hope. Obama didn’t hit the angry notes, but he hits the hope notes. The contrast between Obama and Clinton is dramatic. She just comes off as a normal politician. But, she had all the advantages. She had the connections. She had the money. She theoretically had the best people.

But, then, Mark Penn started running her campaign. What a moron. She probably would have lost anyway. But, I’m not sure. Obama is truly an exceptional candidate.  An unbelievably speaker. A man of incredible intelligence. A man that has the brains to run a perfect campaign. As far as the issues goes, he’s too far to the right for me. But, you can’t see that from what he says. It’s perfect. And, now, he is in perfect position to tack to the center and pick up an even larger number of independents and republicans.

Again, I don’t see McCain getting more than 100 EVs. He’s really a bad candidate. It doesn’t matter how good the people around him are, and they aren’t very good. It doesn’t matter how viscious the rightwing 527 groups are and they are viscious. McCain will make msitake after mistake after mistake. He has nothing to run on besides Bush 3.
