Comments on PA Exit Polls

No, it really won't be a long night.

We will all wake up with Hillary in the same position she was in before the PA primary.

Mathematically eliminated, yet still animated, trying to get her zombie mouth on Obama's brains.

According to CNN, Hillary needs ~500 delegates to win the nomination, and Barack needs ~400, with about 800 left to be decided. Clearly Hillary's the underdog, but all this 'mathematically eliminated' talk is kind of silly.

The tension at The Stranger! I can almost cut it with a knife--a blunt, ambivalent one. These two candidates are separated by minuscule amounts in terms of policy and practical outcome on the next four to eight years. If you ground them up into political chuck and did a blind taste-test, not a single "progressive" Obama supporter here could pick his or her candidate.

They both taste like chicken: winning chicken. It's pure curb-appeal.

Either candidate will beat McCain, handedly. Read the political science literature (Erison 1989).

If we're all so interested in Obama's impact on politics in this country... why are we so eager to promote him to head-of-the-pack? In eight years, he's done and farmed out to tours, crashing foreign policy, memoirs and Peace Prizes. He stands to do a lot of good with a longer Senatorial stint, perhaps a Vice Presidency, then a turn at the wheel. Except then he'd come with more experience, more clout and a greater capacity to enact this Change we're all so fond of.

In the end it will be close to a 50-50 draw for delegates, which is all that matters to the DNC.

Clinton lost, even if she "won".

Okay, I'm watching Obama's concession speech . . . can we please take a moment for the tweaked out faggot behind him in the green Abercrombie shirt? I swear to god I just saw him freaking texting behind his sign. He's chatting to the boy next to him like nothing is going on and then every time the crowd cheers he tunes back in and is like "oh shit!" and holds up his sign!
