AP Reports that Obama Clinches the Nomination
This may qualify for a Captain Obvious Award among those following the race and still trying to get through a certain Vanity Fair article, but the Associated Press is reporting that Obama has the delegates to claim victory in the Democratic presidential nomination race.
Barack Obama effectively clinched the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday after a grueling marathon, based on an Associated Press tally . . . based on public declarations from delegates as well as from another 15 who have confirmed their intentions to the AP. It also included 11 delegates Obama was guaranteed as long as he gained 30 percent of the vote in South Dakota and Montana later in the day. It takes 2,118 delegates to clinch the nomination. - David Espo and Stephen Ohlemacher, Associated Press Writers

It's SEXISM!
How many "Do I look like Bill Clinton trying to look like JFK" pictures does Obama pose for each week?
Bill Clinton was right yesterday.
Who do you want Obama to look in photos, like Zuma Dogg? Pictures are powerful ways to communicate. They last longer with people than words. I hope he's got the wisdom to appear presidential in all of his photos. It's what I expect from a president.

About half as many as he will now that the primaries are over.
Okay, take down the "sexism" protest posters, paint that out, and move on the the "racism" protests.
He's too inexperienced and I have no confidence in him. Neither he nor his wife deals well with stress and criticism. But faced with McCain, what else is there to do but vote for him?
You right, 12:04: Them two suckers is gonna fall apart soon as they gets the least little bit of real criticism and stress. Bitter Bernie gonna done look real cool by comparison.
Darned if he ain't winnin' though, that Bitter Bernie. Guess Ridley Thomas just done been out of town too long for folks to remembers him. Or was they afraid he be givin' all da people's money to da unions?

Pictues aren't powerful if they're copies of old poses. Trying to look "presidential" is like looking at an empty suit. Substance matters, not carefully lit poses.
