Things We Learned This Weekend
Been a busy weekend. I’ll try to consolidate what we’ve learned:
0. Obama is BACK! Check out the Gallup Tracking poll–goin’ up!
1. Obama is not a good bowler. But he is trying to do well in Pennsylvania.
2. Bus trips are fun! Obama on a 6-day trip through PA. Hillary to follow.
3. Clinton doesn’t pay bills on time. Owes $8.7 million. Vendors are warning businesses to demand payment up front. Will this translate to her Presidency too?
4. Clinton thinks going to the convention without having a nominee yet is ok. Obama isn’t trying to force her to drop out before the end of the primaries on June 3.
5. Breaking primary rules and lying about snipers is no big deal.
6. Obama will win more delegates in Texas than Clinton by 5-6.
7. Gore is back and serious. Watch for climate change ads in the near future as a HUGE campaign starts advocating national consensus on policies for combating pollution and global warming.
8. DELEGATE UPDATE: Obama only 399 delegates away from the magic number (Politico.com).
9. IRAQ IS UNSTABLE. “SURGE” NOT HELPING THAT MUCH.
10. MN Senator Amy Klobuchar (and superdelegate) to endorse Obama on Monday. All 7 NC Congressional superdelegates rumored to be endorsing Obama before the state’s primary on May 6. This would give him a net of 7 more delegates. Does Clinton really think she’s going to be able to convince enough remaining superdelegates to give her the nomination? Seriously. Its a slow but steady trickle to Obama. Death by 1000 papercuts rather than the guillotine, apparently.
