It seems that Hillary Clinton’s fierce barrage of fear ads, paint it black ads, Republican endorsement speeches, and “as far as I know” statements were enough to win her the desperation/middle-of-nowhere vote in Rhode Island, Ohio, and Texas, placing her campaign on life support. Fierce attempts by the media and the Clinton Campaign to find even the slightest glimmer of scandal the day before the primaries also seems to have helped her; exit polls showed that 61% of the voters who chose in the last three days (how’s that for political conviction?) chose Hillary. However, three states with slim margins does not a “comeback kid” claim make.
Additionally, her delegate count has barely changed, and the math suggests that she is at this point too far behind in the polls to do well without political maneuvering of the DNC.
This pushes the primaries out again, now to Pennsylvania, where Hillary Clinton hopes to win the vote that the governor of Pennsylvania (Ed Rendell) acknowledges will probably be prejudiced against a black candidate.
But hey, it’s all about the votes, right?
Meanwhile, here are some solid reasons to vote for Barack Obama from Marc Andreessen.
