The Obama Win
It appears Obama won more delegates than Clinton yesterday and has taken a very small overall lead. The complicated formulas to determine that smell like the usual democracy to me. Why do the rulemakers like to needlessly complicate things? Did their mothers waterboard them in their infancy?

More like, the direct proportional share is designed to have a more democratic sense of delegate share. The rules are most convoluted, but they were implemented back in 1972 when Hubert Humphrey’s folks complained that McGovern’s delegates were seated unfairly and not directly due to proportional allocation based on Congressional district.
Hence the reason we have the system we have now.

What America is witness to is a huge power shift. Especially between Mainstream Media and its mirror talk hate radio. Very powerful negative rhetoric is spewing out of Talk Radio against McCain. Now Romney drops back. While listening to MSNBC Chris Matthews discussed this bow out with Peggy Noonon. Peggy was not in a widow, not shown, but obvious very sniveling, snuffing with that cried nose whining. Sheesh, this gal just was emotionally broken up, so much so Matthews did not display her on video during the interview. Of course Noonon a regular analyst that is used to characterize Clinton was formerly special assistant to Reagan. A Conservative as a columnist for the Wall street Journal. Now super Richard Murdock hyper writer for the Wall Street Journal.
Two power shifts here, this one in the Republican side that seems to zero in on the Republican nominee McCain. And a very under reported win for Clinton in California and Massachusetts. Absolutely amazing, here, one would think with the hoopla and glitz of Oprah and Teddy Kennedy endorsing Obama creating a double digit lead in the poles. Obama would win. I thought that was going to happen, but no it did not, surprise. But, worse than a slap in face to Oprah and Teddy Kennedy, Clinton not only won in California but won in Massachusetts. An absolute power shift of extraordinary proportions that Mainstream Media is totally, totally, dismissing. Both Oprah and Kenney must be so embarrassed. Kennedy and Oprah placed their power efforts and they shriveled with Maria Owings Shriver. Especially the Kennedy’s are in denial that their exclusive torch of power is already shifting to the Clintons.
This part of America is sending a message that Obama, did not display enough to believe in, and lost California, worse those who believed in the Kennedy’s now believe in the Clintons. Very, very, change of events right before our eyes. Me, personally, after watching Obama and his support from Oprah and Kennedy more with arrogance than audacity, this part of America showed us Obama an’t no JFK. I thought Obama was going to win by a land slide. It did not happen. There is some kind of trust and motivation in Middle America that is rejecting Mainstream Media’s constant mantra that Hillary is polarizing America.
From Kung fu, Is it not clear “ Grasshopper” by watching the Republican Party That the America that is polarized because of Clinton, is not the electorate, It’s the Republican Party grasshopper.
And Mainstream Media with talk hate radio is complicit to the Republican Party from the get go.
