Well...the show is finally coming to my town. It looks like Hillary will win PA by an 8-10 point margin.
Mathematically the race is over, as it has been for weeks, but Senator Clinton holds out hope that the super delegates will overrule the will of the voters and hand her the nomination. It is impossible for Senator Clinton to over take Obama in the elected delegate lead or the popular vote. The latest delegate count I've seen shows Obama up 1715 to 1588.
I've been mostly observing this election from afar the past year and a half, but now its time to get in the game. I will be on the streets for Obama this weekend and next. Its time to end this race, here in North Carolina, on May 6, 2008.
Our country is frayed at the edges and split down the middle. There are enormous challenges that must be confronted by the next President. We must safely and responsibly exit Iraq. We must take action that seriously and substantially addresses the climate crisis. We must do something about the nearly fifty million people, many millions of whom are children, who can not get basic health care. We have a middle class being crushed by the economic elites and the special interests.
We need a President who isn't going to play by the same old rules of Washington where these problems have been ignored and avoided for too long. We need an agent of change, we need a source of inspiration, someone who can unite us and lead us down a path towards a stronger, safer, and more optimistic nation. Obama is the only one is this race who can do that.
Vote early this weekend - http://www.wakegov.com/elections/onesto p/default.htm
In other news its rumored the North Carolina Republican party is launching a terribly racist ad against Obama tomorrow(a preview of the fall campaign I guess.) We'll see how well that plays.
Also tonight the basketball season came to an unpleasant end. A 5-4 season is nothing to look down upon though.
Well, good night!
