No Convention Bounce for Obama So Far
So far, there has been no “convention bounce” for the Political Messiah, Barack Obama, in the polls (which we at WonderfulPessimist.com never believe, anyway, whether polls favor the candidates we like or not). It appears Michelle Obama’s address on opening night did little to inspire anyone, and neither did the naming of party hack Joe Biden as Barack’s running mate.
No June Cleaver/Clair Huxtable makeover, complete with gold anklets, has been able to make most folks forget the “for the first time in my life, I am proud of my country,” slip-up, and her delivery of “I love my country” last night was simply not said with enough passion and conviction to convince anyone but the Obama Kool-Aid drinkers.
Anyway, the latest Gallup Poll claims John McCain is now up on Obama by four points. Ehh, whatever. Considering McCain is simply “the other Democrat” in the race, running under a GOP banner, it’s not like it matters anyway.
Hillary “with cow”
When women get pregnant, it is often said that they are “with child.” While Sen. Rodham is beyond her child-bearing years, she’s not beyond this kind of pregnancy. Going directly against the sage advice of Bart Simpson, presidential wishful Hillary Rodham, the senator from New York, is currently “having a cow” over her apparent loss to Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency.
So hopefully she hasn’t thrown away all her 20-something-year-old maternity clothes from when she had Chelsea, because this looks to be one tough bull for her.
Despite claiming an advantage in the popular vote among Democratic primaries and caucuses, the fact is that Sen. Rodham cannot overtake Sen. Obama in the delagate count unless nearly all the super-delagates go her way.
That’s why she’s crying over the spilled milk of the Florida and Michigan primaries now; without them, she can’t win. Of course, it also shows weakness on the part of Sen. Obama’s campaign, since he can’t win with them counted.
