The Week That Was

What a week it was. And, what a difference a day makes. Going into last Tuesday's North Carolina and Indiana primaries, there was a plausible claim that the race hung in the balance. The math didn't work for Hillary and the Clintonistas but, there was a plausible claim that if they had a narrow loss in North Carolina and a strong victory in Indiana, they would, on the heels of Pennsylvania, have momentum. They could make a claim to the super delegates that Hillary was the most electable. It was not to be.

It was a great result Tuesday for Obama. It sealed the nomination for him, at least, as everyone has said, "presumptively."

There were several noteworthy events following on after the Tuesday elections. Obama, on the Hill courting super delegates, walked onto the House floor during a vote. He was swarmed by Democrats and Republicans alike. You didn't need a pollster to tell you that he was the winner. He was like a rock star and the adulation was apparent. When I saw that I knew for certain that it was over.

Hillary, though, was not so sure. She continued in her robo-call manner, to careen forward. Her interview with USA Today was the most unbelievable. Okay, Hillary, so you have great strength among the poor white uneducated population many of whom are racist. Wahoo Hillary!!! But, Hillary, where are your manners. You can think that but you can't say it. That is especially the case if you wish to retain for yourself and your hapless ex-President husband, any sense of nobility. Candidly, I think you have both made great strides toward the dustbin of history.

Saturday Night Live put the knife in it when they opened with a great Amy Poehler skit. It was a wonderful put down of Hillary. She has no ethics. SNL made up for their pivotal early support, post writer's strike of Hillary and their parody of the media's fawning over Obama. Kudos to SNL for getting it right last night. Check it out.
