Obama's Victory Lap

Obama_hopeLast week the Twittersphere in Iowa was lit up with jabber from people I know who live near the former Obama campaign office in Des Moines.

"There's a black Hummer there. I wonder what's going on." Then it became all too apparent. In another brilliant move, Obama is coming back to Iowa for a victory lap.

Obama's camp is hoping that the delegate count will go over the top tonight, and while Senator Clinton will be giving her "victory" speech in Kentucky, Senator Obama will be in Iowa, where it all started, accepting the mantel of the democratic party's nomination. It won't be official, but it will be symbolic.

Obama is not expected to speak at tonight's street rally until nearly 9:00 p.m. Most of the returns should be in by then. It will be most interesting to see how carefully Obama handles this speech. It's really not in his character to gloat...and he must not do that. But he deserves the recognition. He has campaigned hard and the road is getting easier now. Good for him.

The real story is how, once again, Iowa played a major role in vetting and launching Barack Obama.

I first heard Obama speak when he came to Mpls. MN. on Feb.2nd. Not since JFK have I felt so hopefull for our nation. Obama is a great and honorable man! He will become one of the greatest Presidents we have ever had! I'm the profile Clinton says he can't get. I'm 65, white, female and Roman Catholic. God bless Obama on this victory! The window for a gracefull exit for Clinton has passed! Super delegets now lets get this done!

Demo Memo,

I have to give you a lot of credit. When I saw the headline, I thought for sure I would be reading a somewhat bitter criticism of Obama. I've seen some your posts on other blogs, and you can get pretty harsh with the best of them. Considering your support of Hillary, you are showing real grace. I wish more of us D's were like that at this time. Emotions have been running very high on both sides. If our roles were reversed, I wish I could say I would be as graceful. But I doubt it.

So, all you have to do is see the light on the congressional primary, and we are all good.

Demo Memo,
Are you going to join us at the Obama event?

Just a little more hip George McGovern kids.

You may whip our pachyderm hide smooth everywhere else but come 1.21.09 the big white house over on Penn will still be decorated in that beautiful red color you see over at TRS.

Serious as a stroke. McCain doesn't really seem like a Republican, and the MSM is going to get hoisted on the anti Bush petard they created.

People in the middle love Lieberman and McCain. Obama sounds nice but he is largely simply a very, very left wing politician, albeit a more personally likeable and less preachy version of JFK (John Forbes Kerry) and the high priest of global warming Al "Torqumaeda" Gore.

The guy is going to get killed in Michigan and Ohio and probably Pennsylvania. The really fun part will be the south where the general election dynamics are very different that the Democrat primaries.

........... and the best part, that I saved for last 'cause I'm just such coy little huckleberry, will be the Clintons burnin' down the house. Oh my God, Hillary hasn't been this pissed since the house fell on her sister (or maybe the night she learned of the little blue dress) and Bill can still pretend to be the loyal husband who is doing battle for his wife (who I think that he intentionally subverted).

Those crazy Clinton kids are going to make Chicago 68 look more like the summer of love.

I threw up in my mouth a little when I read Lieberman's name. He is a very confused man. So with a geriatric patient like McCain, you'd definitely need someone who still had their marbles.

Ageist.

(Couldn't resist an "ism".)
