Primary '08: Who Needs a Cab?

This whole thing started way back on January 3, a gray, rainy winter day with a high of 47. Now, six months later in the heat of a gray, rainy summer day with a high close to 60, it will come to an end.

Remember how all those states moved their primary/caucus dates up so they would be important, how did that work there, Florida/Michigan?

Senator Obama has rented out the 20,000 seat Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul (site of this year’s Republican National Convention) with the hope that he can declare victory.

Senator Clinton will be giving a speech in New York, where the AP is reporting that she will suspend her campaign.

Clinton’s campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe told CNN that the AP is one hundred percent wrong, which means that Clinton’s withdrawal tonight is a certainty.

Obama needs 33.5 delegates to reach the new and improved magic number of 2,118. Just between us, we heard that his campaign will release the names of new superdelegates throughout the day, with a cluster of names being dropped when the polls close.

In hopes that America will remember who he is, John McCain will be giving a prime time speech in Louisiana.

With two Plains States going to the polls today, we are suggesting a dinner of buffalo meat. For an extra culinary challenge, try shooting them from a moving train.

So it’s off to the general, Barack Obama vs. John McCain--what we’ve known for months.
