Not Disastrous, but....

So Clinton took Pennsylvania last night. That much was expected. I had expected a ten to eleven point margin. It was ten.

So why does this make me uneasy? I said I predicted 10-11... didn't say I would like it.

So the campaign will drag on. And the longer it drags on, the uglier it gets. The uglier it gets (and trust me, with Clinton's failing funds [more on that] and no-way-to-catch-him delegate count, the frustration will mount and the Clinton campaign will do everything in its power to tear down Obama... since he will arrive at the convention with more popular votes, more pledged delegates [hell, maybe even more SUPAH-delegates], the only way Clinton can take the nomination is to show to the aforementioned SUPAH-delegates and regular delegates [who can change their vote after the first ballot] is that Obama is so damaged as be un-electable [despite Hill's "yes yes yes" the other night])... where was I? (oh yeah) and the uglier it gets, the more divided the party, the more disenchanted all those new voters will be, the more cynical the remaining electorate will be, and in sweeps McCain to bring chaos to the masses.

So while I'd rather have McCain than Clinton [if only because if elected, let's say she serves two terms... at the end of that second term there will have been either a Bush or a Clinton in the White House for the LAST THIRTY-SIX FREAKING YEARS (GHWBush: VP 1981-88, Pres 89-92; BClinton: 93-2000; GWBush: 01-08; HClinton: 09-16)... and that feels just a little too long, a little too established, a little too inbred for me... sorry], I'd still rather have a leader who can inspire than one who can manage.

So this morning: not too good on the political front.

Sports front: not so good either. Man, I hope this "tweaked knee" thing isn't too bad... we NEED Cowan on the field. There was a tangible "spark" whenever he goes into the game for "Southpaw Jesus" (though local, THAT dude has just never panned out).

Ah, well... what can you do? I can listen to Pokey (Lisa's classroom guinea pig who's staying here until his mites clear up) screaming out in pain... he had shots a week and a half ago, and the pain was supposed to get worse before better... we thought we had gotten past the worst (he was relatively quiet yesterday), but this morning, he's screaming out in pain again. Of course, things COULD be worse (that's so wrong).

So on that cheery note, au revoir for now, kiddies.
