4:14 Just got home from a long day of teaching 1984 and Grapes of Wrath, pick up my mail and see Obama on the cover of Esquire, a good sign.
4:18 Turn on MSNBC and see Indiana is too early to call, Chris is blabbing about how H.R.C. kills with old ladies over 65. Polls close in eleven minutes in North Carolina. I read a book review today about Ted Sorosen's new book about his days working with J.F.K., can't wait to read it. (We are on a commercial break}
4:30 North Carolina goes to Obama! Brokaw instantly questions what the "black vote" will do if Hillary gets the nomination.
4:36 Hillary has the lead in Indiana, damn...
4:46 Ford calls the win in North Carolina a "game changer" and predicts Obama will pick up 15 new super-delegates tomorrow. We'll see...
4:53 They are calling it a "post reverend Wright" win and are obsessing about the white vote. It looks like Obama could net 15 delegates
5:17 They are still talking about rev. Wright, why? Chris finally said that only older voters care about rev. Wright and asked why is this an issue? Hillary gets 2/3 of whites with no college education and voters over 65. Vote for me if your old or dumb!
5:25 Word has it that the Obama camp will lock it up by May 20th. Let's hope so! (source-Howard Fineman)
6:10 Obama takes the stage in North Carolina...
6:11 Speech starts (old white lady right behind Obama, no word of her education level) (another old white lady next to her, no black people in the shot, but an odd multi-racial guy)
6:14 Obama congratulates Hillary on her victory in Indiana-pure class
6:26 Obama is only 6 points behind in Indiana, could he pull it off and put a dagger in H.R.C.?
6:31 "I trust that the American people no longer want to be defined by their differences" The best line of the speech
6:35 The big picture idea, does the country want a change?
7:01 Still too close to call in Indiana....
7:18 Going back and forth between MSNBC and the Dodger game, where I will be tomorrow at noon with my brother and cousin, sick day (cough-cough) (wink-wink) Man, I will miss this job. I think Vinny will vote for McCain, McCourt will go for Obama.
7:31 Clinton about to speak....
7:34 Still waiting.....does she go out with Bill and Chelsea.....socks the cat?
7:37 Yep, Bill and Chelsea, no socks...damn
7:38 Bill looks like he has been hitting the sauce, how did he get so red? Did he overdue the tanning bed?
7:39 (strange old guy with beard on cell phone in shot) Hillary is doing the Mussolini nod
7:41 cry, cry ,cry, send me money!
7:43 Hillary knows it is over, you can tell, put a fork in her, she is done! She can't even fake the emotion.
7:44 A lady with f-ing (sorry grandma) boxing gloves is in H.R.C. shot-pass the puke bags cause she is a "fighter". Yes, she is so tough she stays with her husband who habitually cheats on her with interns, she is so brave!
7:47 Hillary is planting the seeds for her exit.... hasta la vista baby!
7:49 quick shot of the one black person in the audience
7:52 Why is Bill so red?
7:58 Lame speech, it is over. HRC is done. You heard it from the source.
8:05 210,000 votes still out in Indiana, is it possible they go to Obama?
8:18 Rove on Fox News is saying it is over for Hillary. Rove is asking why was Bill in the picture?
8:24 Andruw Jones flies out to center, Dodgers losing 4-1 to the Mets.
8:37 Blake Dewitt is 2-2 and just knocked in two runs. Who needs Nomar?
8:38 Fineman said Hillary will not be the V.P.
8:45 It is less than 20,000 votes! Go Obama!
8:52 Rove says Obama will win Indiana
9:08 Hillary cancels all events for Wednesday-see ya!
9:11 Russert just said we now know who will be the democratic nominee!
9:24 Blake Dewitt just hit an inside-the-park homerun! Dodgers up 5-4!
