Don’t Call It a Comeback…
More like a last stand. The truth is that last night Hillary Clinton blew a 20%+ lead and ended up winning PA by approx. 8.5% (not the 10% win that has been widely reported). She is now looking at a very small net delegate gain, perhaps in the single digits. As for this absurd idea floating around that she is now ahead in the popular vote? Not even close. Obama still leads by 215,000 votes, and that’s counting Florida. If you want me to factor in Michigan, I will punch you right in the face. Geez, I really need to relax…
If you ask me, the real question coming out of PA is ‘how badly did the negative campaigning backfire? And more importantly, how can Hillary Clinton ever hope to win the all important A&F Clad Indiana Gym Queen Vote?

Funny. “Hillary Clinton’s Last Stand” was my headline this morning: http://www.beyondchron.org/news/index.php?itemid=5597
And yes, when I watched Obama’s speech last night, I couldn’t help gazing at those A&F-clad Indiana gym queens.
Who says that gay men all love Hillary? If hot guys like that like Obama, maybe my dating life won’t be as bad as I thought.
