The End Is Nigh

I remember when I used to think that the nomination process was completely unfair. That it was ridiculous for a few early states - Iowa, New Hampshire - to pick the nominee.

Now I'm longing for the good old days.

Well, almost. I still don't think Iowa and New Hampshire should get lavished with all this attention, but surely there must be some happy medium. If only to save the candidates from themselves: Clinton's campaign revealed that she has given six million dollars to a campaign that for the most part looks over.

I'm also getting tired of this new narrative - why won't working class white people vote for Obama? It strikes me as a bit racist.

And all that Reverend Wright coverage? Definitely racist.

The Rev. Wright coverage is absolutely racist. How about showing the Jerry Farewell comments about 9/11. Or that Texas minister, who said Katrina was a punishment from God. At least, Olberman is showing it on MSN.

It's time for Hillary to drop out and I'm not saying that because she's a woman, it's because she has no realistic shot at the nomination. The longer she stays the more it keeps Barrack from going after Flip Flop McCain. Hillary, in the immortal words of Chick Hearn, "This game's in the refrigerator: the door is closed, the lights are out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard, and the Jell-O's jigglin'!
