The Roller Coaster

What happened to Obama's message of change? Lately it seems that other than changing preachers and real estate partners the "Change" message has gotten lost. Has the Obama campaign lost its way or is it that the media did a 180 after being justifiably lampooned on SNL? The man gave a very eloquent speech on race in America. He received the endorsement of one of the most influential Hispanics in America. Has it made any difference?



Hillary Clinton is now positioned to win Pennsylvania, possibly by double digits. What happens then? Can you nominate a candidate who doesn't have the necessary votes to capture the nomination outright and trails his GOP opponent in the national polls? A candidate who hasn't won a single Midwestern state other than his own yet still does lead in the delegate count? Tough choices ahead Howard Dean!



Has it only been a matter of weeks since the Iowa caucuses? I can't imagine what will happen between now and the end of the summer. This political season has already seen so many ups and downs that nothing would surprise me at this point. What happens if the Super Delegates can't come to a compromise? After all, they are going to decide who gets the nomination. Is it possible for the DNC to anoint a candidate without alienating a huge portion of its' own constituency? Is it possible that there could be a white knight waiting in the wings? Hmm...
