Not a Game Changing Night

Well if tonight doesn't do it I don't know what will. Hillary has just had a couple of her best weeks of the primary season, and Barack Obama has just had a couple of his worst and still she couldn't come up with a the kind of game changer she needs.

Her best against his worst and he still wins. She even teamed up (again) with McCain to tag team Obama on Gas tax relief. I can't imagine how anyone could now spin her as a more viable candidate and keep a straight face. As I write this, Obama has won big in North Carolina (56% to 42%) and it looks like a too close to call Indiana might just end up in th Obama win column (Lake County, true to form, is very late to report but looks to hold enough votes put push Barack past Clinton's meager 17, 000 vote lead).

There are those reporting on the campaignwho commented that they noticed a slight change in Clinton's demeanor around noon today, just about the time she would have been receiving the latest internal campaign polls, which may be why she is attempting, again, to change the finish line.

P.S. Clinton has now been declared the winner in a real squeaker, but because delegates are allocated proportionally and not winner takes all, they will both receive about the same amount of Indiana delegates. What does this mean? It means that the tenuous claim Clinton had on a lead in popular vote (made after Pennsylvania) has been erased and Obama is now the undisputed leader in both popular votes and pledged delegates.

P.P.S. My heart and my prayers go out to the hundreds of thousands who need help in Myanmar, and I wish Godspeed to all those endeavoring to provide it.
