For the first time today,by the estimates of both CBS News and MSNBC, Barack Obama has more delegates than Hillary Clinton–934 to 895.
Obama is expected to win tomorrow in Virgina,Maryland and Washington,D.C.
Clinton is pretty much betting the farm on Ohio and Texas, which, says Clinton, “…represent the kind of voters that will have to be convinced and won over in the general election.”
Fair enough. But, after months of the media telling us that Obama “has momentum”-and failing to properly vet him to boot, Obama now actually does have momentum.
That simply can no longer be denied.
Part of the problem is that Clinton has gotten some really bad advice thus far. Good that she changed the campaign leadership this weekend, but probably too little and far too late.
The other part of the problem, as we have long been saying, is that mainstream media and,yes,even newstream media, have virtually given Obama a free ticket to the White House without taking seriously their responsibility to the public to fully investigate and otherwise vet a major presidential candidate.
“I have been vetted. I have been through this. There isn’t any new information,” says Clinton, who goes on to say in a television interview, “I don’t think you can say that about my opponent.”
She’s right on this one. You can’t.
Should Obama get the Democratic Party nomination for president, as looks increasingly likely, though not yet a sure thing, you can bet every cent the Republicans will do the media’s job for them and dig up everything there is to be dug about Obama’s past.
Let the best mud-slinger win!

1The media throned this guy long ago and will have to take full responsibility for their actions when he’s in the White House. There’s nothing the USA needs more than L.Ron.Hubbard, I mean Obama, running things for us - YEAH RIGHT! With insane people crying over him and everything he does, I’m sure the ego-maniac is going to do a great job leading his lemming followers down a path to something crazed.
Because the media has been so scared to criticize him for fear that they’ll be called racist, we’re now stuck with someone who used that racism to coast right into the most powerful office in the world.
I’m sure all of the insane followers will all jump all over this comment because it is critical of his holyness.
