Wednesday Morning Reality Check

Well, the Obamamomentum has dried up. Hillary woke up this morning, vibrant, fresh-faced, and shrill, after winning Ohio, Rhode Island, and Texas last night. She's already trying to make the election about the superdelegates, trying to force Florida and Michigan's delegates to count, and it looks like Senator Clinton is going to run on the Democrat's soft-version of a campaign of fear for the next month and a half.

That's right, folks -- at the very earliest, this thing runs until the April 22nd Pennsylvania primaries, meaning that Eagles and Steelers fans may decide the future of our country. We are so fucked. And I've got major campaign fatigue.

Meanwhile, asked whether she and Obama should be on the same ticket, Clinton said:

"That may be where this is headed, but of course we have to decide who is on the top of ticket. I think the people of Ohio very clearly said that it should be me."

A month ago, I probably would've been happy with either one of them on the top of the ticket, but that goddamn woman has gotten on my last nerve. The idea of four to eight years of that shrieking laugh has made my heart convulse. I don't think I could stomach it. Can someone please explain to me what the hell happened? My mother, who like most Americans, only gets bits and pieces of the news, said she didn't want to vote for Obama because he was Muslim, because of his racist church, and because he didn't put his hand on his heart for the pledge of allegiance and wouldn't wear an American Flag pin. Are these honestly the factors that have stopped to Obama train? Do people actually believe these things and care about them?
