Happy Primary Night!

Just because I've been sick and haven't posted in a while...

As of 1:00 am:

NORTH CAROLINA:
OBAMA      56%   888,979   60
CLINTON   42%   655,482   47

INDIANA:
CLINTON   51%   606,497   38
OBAMA      49%   589,888   29

So NC is a rout, and the split in Indiana amounts to about four square blocks in Decatur. Eeeexcellent.

Dear Hillary,

Please, PLEASE, for all that you hold sacred, put an end to this! I can't take it any more. The pandering, the slurs, the phony good ol' gal accent... it's beneath you. You're a classy lady, so show a little class. You fought the good fight, but it's time to face facts.

Your Party has spoken. YOU CANNOT WIN.

Sure, we'd all like to see a woman in the Whitehouse someday, but the longer this goes on, the greater the chance that McSame will pull off another four years of Republican rule - and seriously, having to face even one more year of creepy corporatist neo-cons on BOTH sides of the border just might drive me to apply for citizenship in fucking Iceland.

Sincerely,
Your Neighbour to the North.

WEDNESDAY MORNING UPDATE:

I did some quick math, and if the six remaining precincts in Indiana fall out the way their counties have, the final totals will be (drumroll please)... 642,390 for Clinton, 624,363 for Obama.

That's a difference of just over 18,000 votes out of over a million. That's 50.71% vs. 49.29%, and THAT is what I'd call a statistical tie.

Put a fork in her. She's done.
