Elections and Football

Has anybody noticed that election coverage is eerily similar to play-by-play narration of football games by people like John Madden and Terry Bradshaw? It's all like, "Obama pulled a Virginia sweep and stormed the black voters and GOT A FUCKIN' TOUCHDOWN!!" 

Not really, but you get the point. It's gotten so ridiculous now that they have the same little screens you can draw on that John Madden uses to incoherently draw out any given play. I swear John Madden is either drunk or has had a stroke that was covered up. But I must say Wolf Blitzer is a bit more attractive than John Madden - that werewolf look is hot. Almost like a white-haired Wolverine. 

But anyway, Obama is totally going to rock the rest of the election. He needs roughly 840 delegates to win and there are still about 1700 to be selected. He's been taking states left and right and all he needs is to take about 10% more of the total delegates than Hillary. On the trajectory he's on now, that will be simple. Hillary's putting all her eggs in Texas and Ohio, relying on a Hispanic vote that is starting to turn over to Obama. Interesting note is that Obama actually won among women in the three primaries today and overwhelmingly among black voters. Affluent white voters also tend to go for Obama. Note also that he's taken most of the Southern and Midwest states, so he could very well take Texas and Ohio by a decent margin. Time will tell.

Meanwhile he's ahead in Wisconsin who has a primary next week as well as in Hawaii, where he grew up. About 100 delegates to be selected by those two states. It all keeps adding up...Obama might not even need to win Texas or Ohio, merely to pull about 40-45% of the delegates from there. He seems poised to win the vast majority of the remaining states. 

Si se puede!
