Obama wins again!

Another day and another win for Barack Obama! I checked out the numbers here and it appears that Obama had a 59% to 40% advantage over Clinton in a state with roughly ten registered voters. I guess we can thank six of them for pushing him to victory and hope the other four will vote Obama when he gets the nomination. Hi-Lo.

Obama and Hillary, what round is it Mic?

What's up y'all? I haven't been scribbling online for a while because I've been doing a lot of reading. See, I gave up videogames for Lent and I've had nothing to do except read and write and keep an eye on the happenings of the World.

So, what haven't I plastered words about online in the past few weeks? Well, for one, Obama's win streak came to an end with Hillary taking Ohio and Texas. Congratulations, you're not drowning anymore. Hey, we all knew this wasn't going to be the Lakers vs. the Clippers. We're not blind to how much they both want it and how much their campaign-folk are willing to do to deliver that job. This one won't be quick and it's already gotten nasty, but we'll hang in there 'til the end.

At this point, the Hillary camp has gone from moderate, to defensive, to wicked, and back to moderate after the blood transfusions this past Tuesday. The question is how much more bleeding will occur and who's got the pints left to take it? Hi-Lo.

Lookin' for dirt by playin' in it

Here comes more crap. The niceties come easy when we're face to face, but the mud gets tossed from a distance, doesn't it? Now, the Clinton campaign, having nothing to dig up on Obama, are clinging to some words that Obama borrowed from a colleague for a rally. Has it really become this desperate for Hillary?

In you're usual campaign for office, the object is to get the dirt on the other guy and show it to the voters, even if it's only alleged. This time, we have Obama, who's the cleanest candidate we've ever seen. So what's a professional crap-slinger to do when faced with this challenge? Search for an invisible needle in an imaginary haystack I guess.

This reminds me of Don Quixote and the Windmills; there are no dragons to slay because they're not there! Good luck trying to find a dust particle here, Hillary! Hi-Lo.

Obama Clocks Clinton, Writer's Strike ending?

I just checked the results from today's primaries and do y'all smell that? That's Hillary getting barbecued! Obama won handily in all of the primaries and it wasn't even close in the Virgin Islands. The margin between them is only twenty-five delegates, that includes Super-Delegates. We still got a ways to go but it sure feels good to see those numbers.

Also, the Writer's Strike may be closing out this weekend depending on whether the Members vote to accept the new deal. I don't have too many specifics, but I did read that there is language that provides for compensation to Writers for "new media" usage. It works out to about $600 for the first two minutes of programming viewed and a smaller rate for the rest of the time viewed, not to be less than the total of the first two minute total... I know, it seems confusing, but that's actually the easy part of the formulas mentioned! Anyway, it is progress and a damn sight better than nothing.

Could they get more if they held out longer? That's the hardest question to answer. It does make you wonder just how much money the Producers are pocketing if $600 is them being stingy. We'll see what happens. GO OBAMA and GO WRITERS! Hi-Lo
