Thursday March 27, 2008
This is the day that the Clinton campaign died. Critically wounded since Super Tuesday, this week saw a massive public meltdown over the bizarre self inflicted wound of the Bosnian Delusion followed by the equally bizarre threat by 'big Clinton donors' to withhold their funding of other Democratic campaigns over Nancy Pelosi's efforts to bring to an end the now destructive and senseless primary contest. The unraveling is not pretty, but it is final. The Clintons have lost any remaining support within the party organization and leadership, and the polling numbers coming out clearly indicate that Mrs. Clinton's support will not bring her the upset landslide victories she needs to catch up with Mr. Obama. It is over and it has become painfully obvious that it is over. Hopefully the Clinton campaign has also arrived at the same realization and will now, and finally, do the right thing.

12. I originally wrote that the Clinton campaign was finished
after Super Duper Tuesday, but was roundly booed for being divisive and arrogant and downright mean to all the well intentioned Clinton supporters here. The Clinton campaign actually had a similar assessment, and after the followup string of primary losses, realizing that they could not win by the delegate count, adopted the kitchen sink strategy in an attempt to force Obama out of the race. That also has failed, although in failing it has dragged many of Clinton's supporters into the shitstorm of divisiveness such a strategy entails. She has damaged the party's prospects for November, and has not succeeded in forcing Obama out. Instead, out of control, Clinton inflicted a fatal blow to her own prospects with her Bosnian Delusion. We are now watching this odd couple, the former President and the formerly presumptive nominee, in full denial, carry on as if their legs and arms have not been sliced off of them. They are together a Black Night caricature.

ARTHUR:
Eh. You are indeed brave, Sir Knight, but the fight is mine.
BLACK KNIGHT:
Oh, had enough, eh?
ARTHUR:
Look, you stupid bastard. You've got no arms left.
BLACK KNIGHT:
Yes, I have.
ARTHUR:
Look!
BLACK KNIGHT:
Just a flesh wound.

ARTHUR:
Look, stop that.
BLACK KNIGHT:
Chicken!

Chickennn!
ARTHUR:
Look, I'll have your leg.

Right!



BLACK KNIGHT:
Right. I'll do you for that!
ARTHUR:
You'll what?
BLACK KNIGHT:
Come here!
ARTHUR:
What are you going to do, bleed on me?
BLACK KNIGHT:
I'm invincible!
ARTHUR:
You're a looney.
BLACK KNIGHT:
The Black Knight always triumphs! Have at you! Come on, then.



BLACK KNIGHT:
Oh? All right, we'll call it a draw.
ARTHUR:
Come, Patsy.
BLACK KNIGHT:
Oh. Oh, I see. Running away, eh? You yellow bastards! Come back here and take what's coming to you. I'll bite your legs off!

10. Obama is our nominee.
His opponent is John McCain. Nobody else needs to be mentioned at this point in the primary season.
