As expected, Obama won Nebraska, Washington, and Louisiana. The victories were widely predicted, but the sheer size of them, the overwhelming Obama stompery, was something of a surprise.

That race seems to have been an important factor in Louisiana is not surprising, but depressing nonetheless.
One bit of justice is that Hillary's friend the CAFO-owning pig farmer from Nebraska could not help her all that much in that state.
Later today, our much finer friends, John-former-Marine ("Shu pas a vende!"), of far northern Maine, and SMLowry on the NH border, may or may not be voting. Break a leg, SM and John!
Chickens are our cousins! So are fish! So are other sentient animals! Let us learn to be kind.

If Barack supporters enable president McCain, with some help from swiftboaters, the outrage is going to dwarf the Nader induced bush win. Yikes. The new, cool progressive (no nothing on policy)position is to vote for change/Barack here in wisconsin too.
That vapid "yes we can" dipdive video is finally making the email rounds of the perpetually trendy.
Remember '88 and the Dukakis campaign (the kids don't), 8 years of raygunning, and we needed relief. It didn't happen. Hope Barack is not another Dukakis.
These kids packing the caucuses and rock star Barack rallys better get their young friends to vote. It hasn't happened in the past, depending on the youth/change vote has been a false hope when it comes to the general election.
The BJ hating Naderites are resurecting their Clinton hatred and propelling Barack. This is not looking good. I'm going to try to go to a Barack rally to see the phenomenon in person.
And a Hillary rally to witness the historic failure of the first woman candidate for prez. Imagine how you will tell it to your daughters Barack voters, how Hillary lost to Barack and how Barack lost to McCain/Huckleberry.
Oh well, that's politics.
