I actually wanted to know at what point I could go to bed, cause it's bloody late here. But still, the analysis is interesting. To me, this contest is an increasingly interesting, but increasingly surreal manifestation of democracy in action. I mean, people keep voting, but there never seems to be a result...

Poblano over at Daily Kos pointed out that it's a "momentumless primary," which is really weird, but it sort of makes sense given the historic nature of each candidacy.

In that case at this point you can go to bed with the knowledge that Obama 'won' the expectations game tonight. In a sense this is no more fair than the Hillary 'win' in PA - i.e. we're basically getting what you'd expect from these two states given their respective demographics, but  it's the playing up of the PA 'triumph' that's boomeranging on Clinton. Given that she should have dropped out after the Ohio and Texas primaries and not spent all this time savaging the inevitable Dem nominee, I'm not too sympathetic anyways. Though the one silver lining is that the timing of the Wright affair was better than it would have been if it had come in September or October.

Go to bed?

We've got the GAME on!

;-)

Slow motion to Denver, I'm afraid.  Clinton can't catch-up in pledged delegates and Obama can't put her away.  

IF O goes on to win in Indiana we may see a movement in PLEO delegates over the next few days.

You said "Game On!"  I thought the Wayne's World reference was obvious.

OMG!  My secret it is out!

I may be the only person in the entire US who hasn't seen Wayne's World.

You're kidding?!  My God, man, it's awful, but you must see it.

Let's see, Celtics up at the half, Red Sox shutout the Tigers and Obama blew out HRC in NC. On the down side the  Yankees are leading by one in the seventh and HRC is up by four in Indiana.

Not for New Yorkers born in Boston;) (aren't sports loyalties weird - I feel much more of a New Yorker than a Bostonian in everything except sports)

Oh my.  How do you manage that being a Boston guy, sportswise?  I thought they could tar and feather you for that.

My sports loyalties are wholly a product of my dad, except in baseball (he has no team and I consider myself a lame Braves fan).

I was out with friends for a bachelor party during game 4 of the ACLS that year the Sox came back from 0-3. Needing to check what was going on I stopped into a biker bar near the West Side highway. Cheered for my team, but all I got were a few evil looks mixed with a lot of faux sympathy. Might have been a bit different by game 7...

I reckon they might've been none-too-pleased with you by game 7.  That was a hell of a series, wasn't it?  Again, not a baseball guy, but that was one I really got into.  The Sox were a thing to see that year.

Ok, Celtics pulled out a sqeaker, Yankees lost in the eighth, Indiana...

It's allegedly going to be another hour before we get final word in Indiana.  Obama apparently stormed Gary, big turnout, which is why it's taking so long.
