Sweeps for Obama and McCain

Barack Obama and John McCain both scored hat tricks tonight, taking Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia.

In Obama's victory speech in Madison, WI, he pointed out that tonight highlights the fact that he can win in any setting. "We have now won east and west, north and south, and across the heartland of this country," he told an excited crowd. The Clinton campaign has dismissed Obama's victories from Super Tuesday and this past weekend by saying Obama wins in caucus states (which, due to their format, favor activists and the well-to-do) and in states Democrats never win in general elections. Well, Maryland, Virginia, and D.C. were all primaries, not caucuses. Maryland and D.C. are the Democrats' territory in November, and Virginia is a swing state. As Obama was saying, "We need a new direction in this country," the Clintonites were probably thinking, "We need new spin in this campaign."

But Hillary is all about change! I mean, after 30+ years of being part of the establishment, a history of hiding behind executive privilege and votes that she regrets (the war and No Child), she has to do something good at some time. It’s just probability. The way I see it, she’s due. No one can do things this bad for this long – well, ‘cept Bush.

On a split screen photo-op Barak Obama was on the left and John McCain was on the right. Well,Sen. McCain had better find a running mate who is vibrant, innovative, healthy and intellectually strong. And who has charisma. Because right now, he lacks all of the above and Senator Obama possesses them all.Senator Obama embraces the needs of the American people not the American Corporations who have raped the people ever since their "hostile" takeover of life in America. We cannot put the nations' corporations out of business because that act would bankrupt us all. There just need to be "change", to quote Senator, Mr. Barak Obama.
