Conventional Wisdom
So, I caught a few minutes of CNN at my Mother’s today and learned that Obama won 80% of the black vote in Nevada, possibly as many as 7,000 votes [based on the 7.9% of Nevada’s population that is black, and the voter turn out], and that that is a major problem for Clinton.
Bill Clinton is becoming rabid in his attacks on Obama, and Ted Kennedy and Raum Emmanuel have reportedly had to intervene, and George H.W. Bush wasn’t mean to John McCain, when McCain ran against the Shrubbery.
Obama, Clinton, and some white guy are in South Carolina for a debate, but the other white guys weren’t invited because this is a race between Obama and Clinton.
The Republican voters don’t seem to understand that this is a race between John McCain and Rudy Giuliani. They keep voting for other white guys who won’t go away and keep winning John and Rudy’s delegates.
The media better hope for no clear winners in either party before the conventions, because, given the ham-handed way the media conglomerates are dealing with the writers’ strike, the conventions may be the only original television available for a very long time and they don’t have to pay residuals.
[Note: I don’t watch television. On rare occasions I will plug things in and watch a tape, but there is no “over-the-air” television available in my area, and I really, truly, unequivocally hate cable companies for a lot of reasons.]
