Kentucky & Oregon Primaries

In Kentucky, Clinton is projected to win 37 delegates with 65% of the vote. Obama is projected to win 14 delegates with 30% of the vote. The Oregon results aren’t in yet, but Obama was predicted to win according to polls leading up to the primary. Meanwhile, CNN is reporting that Obama has crossed the threshold to clench a majority of pledged delegates. The race isn’t over yet, but it’s not looking good for Mrs. Clinton. Check back for updates.

Not to take anything away from Clinton’s blowout victory and I hate to state the obvious, but it’s really only a matter of time before Obama is officially the nominee. I would say that the Clinton era is finally over, but I don’t have any wood to knock on. They’ll find their way back into the forefront one way or another, trust me. Just like all addicts find a way to satisfy their cravings, power-addicts like Bill and Hillary will find a way to quench their thirst one way or another.

The scariest part about this whole fiasco is this: we’ve been told countless times of the brilliance of the Clintons, how incredible they are at this political game, and how great they are at campaign strategy. They are so good and so ruthless that their campaigns have been compared to a machine that is simply unbeatable. Yet, the unbeatable Clinton Campaign Machine has been defeated. So what does that tell us? Either their ability as politicians has been grossly over-exaggerated or Obama is a force to be reckoned with. Hope you’re ready, Maverick. This is going to be a long fight (that is, if you’ll even fight).
