I’ll stick my neck out and call this before the networks.After almost a week of insufferable Obama coverage, he’s the nominee, next president, etc.  God I am relieved Hillary won tonight.  This morning the polls were absolutely depressing, Obama by 10%.  Thank God they were wrong.  Perhaps that skirmish over the weekend in the strait of Hormuz helped Hillary, I don’t know.  But I am thrilled this race will go on and it will be decided on Super Tuesday when I think about half of the US would have voted.I am not a Hillary man. I think this strong desire for change is actually not Hillary’s fault.  It stems from  the weakness of the House and Senate Majority Leaders.  They have not performed as expected and Hillary is viewed very much as part of that club.  I am not sure people are really looking for change as much as getting results from the person they vote for.  In that category Hillary has it all over Obama.  Don’t get me wrong, I very much doubt Hillary would be as tough as I want her to be and stick to her guns, and I love Obama.  But anybody can speak in platitudes and niceties.  I have no reason whatsoever to believe Obama would stick to his guns in the face of strong opposition.  If anything I see him more as a willow.  I still support Edwards and hope he wins, but if not Edwards, Hillary before Obama.One other thing, I now live in Florida, the Republicans here, the majority, voted to move our primaries to January 29 to help Rudy. I really don’t understand how that helps him but in any case that is what happened.  So what did the DNC do in response?  They took away our delegates, in essence our vote won’t count.  This was something Democrats in the state had nothing to do with, but we will suffer the consequences.  Smart huh?   One thing is for sure our electoral system is in need of major alterations.Go Hillary!
