Jack & Jill Politics

No Obama-Clinton ticket (unless you can resign yourself to losing) because he will lose too many votes to win. He only wins with independent voters like myself who will DEFINITELY choose McCain over Obama if Clinton gets anywhere close to an Obama team. You take Clinton and you lose. Independents decide who win elections in the USA, always have and always will. The party partisans are deadlocked and it is good that neither side of extremists are in control.

The MO and WA victories validate the "crossover" argument...after next Tuesday, there will be three weeks of campaigning in Ohio and Texas...three weeks for Dallas, Houston(or BeyonceLand), Cleveland and Cincinnati to get your acts together! Barack and Michelle are coming to a town near you!


Ohio and Texas can close this out...no brokered conventions...no caucuses in FL or MI...let's get this done so that Barack can focus on Old John.



Has anyone seen the exit polls from NY? Any stats on the breakdowns in Harlem, Brooklyn or the Bronx? I want to know if Outkast(GA) went for Obama and if JayZ(NY) sold out to Billary (by how much).



BTW, I came to a realization for myself...I'm fine with an Obama-Clinton ticket...as long as she fully, FULLY embraces Obama's philosophies.



A Clinton-Obama ticket? No way in Heel...no mo' cotton pickin for them #$$#@@rs.

A Sweep!


Woo Hoo!



Barack 08!

Just projected (by MSNBC)...
Washington, Nebraska, and Louisiana for Obama!



Huge Margins! Washington State is making me feel really good...onward to the Chesapeake Tuesday...as for Maine, i'm concerned that they may flake-out like New Hampshire...but I will remain optimistic.

Obama is blowing out Clinton in Nebraska and Washington so far. Both CNN and MSNBC are calling both states for him.

Rachel,
Common shouted him out in his song "The People" (the line is "rep for the people like Obama," or something like that).

Damn, Anonymous #1. So America Ferrara is a racist now, too?


That's nuts.

I am pretty sure Common and Talib Kweli wrote songs about him a while ago...

I think its interesting that all these artists are coming out in support of someone who is unwilling to defend their right of expression....

Reggaeton? Rap?
Yuck.

I love your blog, but you have some ass taste in music!

Maybe it's just me? How about an old school mix? I need to make an list in iTunes.

I watched Larry King last night with Will.I.Am, John Legend and America Ferrara. First, let me say that I was so impressed with Mr. Legend and how he articulately dispelled every side swipe and demeaning assertion that Ms. Ferrera made against Obama (except one because Larry wouldn't give him a chance to respond using a commerical as the excuse---King is in the bag for Hillary but most MSM are). Legend did us proud. I know that I will take some hits for what I will say next so I have put on my flame retardant suit.


That said, WTF is Will.I.Am doing other than feeding into the notion that Obama is nothing more than inspiring talk/slogans; this dude doesn't know a single issue position of Obama (and if he does know ANY issue point he hasn't been able to voice a single one in all of the many interviews he has done as a result of the Yes We Can video). Will.I.Am comes off looking like exactly what he accused "Obama Girl" of when the only positive thing he can say about Obama is that he gave a good speech in New Hampshire. WTF! I would be proud of Will.I.Am if he never does another interview as an "Obama supporter" again---yes make the video and help virally behind the scenes but please don't help the media feed this lie that Obama is just an inspirational empty suit and supporters are just drinking gallons of kool-aid.



Thank G_D for John Legend last night because America came for blood and she looked like she didn't want to sit next to two negroes...but I don't watch her show anyway because I didn't trust her from the start although the rest of the country jumped on her worship bandwagon. I will objectively say that America Ferrara held it down for Hillary and would have slaughtered Obama had John Legend not been present as a saving grace; I despise her candidate but America did right by Hillary which is the opposite of what Will.I.Am did (rolling my eyes).
