Yes, we love him. Perhaps a bit too much. But is it time to stop singing along to Yes, We Can? Should Obama bow out like Mitt and let Hillary focus on beating the crap out McCain?
Tuesday wasn't as good to Obama as the media predicted. It made for good drama though. I walked into class on Wednesday with three hours of sleep, because I put off preparing for class until the results for California came in.
Random thought for pol. sci. geeks. If you line up Elazar's state political culture map with the results from Tuesday's election, Obama's got the moralistic states and Hillary has the individualistic states. They are splitting the moralistic states.
Still, most bloggers aren't willing to give up yet. Yglesias has interesting numbers on Obama's popularity with the webby-types. Clinton's $5 million loan to herself not only shows that she's hard up, but also calls attention to the Clinton's personal wealth. Obama is excepted to well in the upcoming primaries, though he's going to have to deal with those pesky superdelegates.
Obama's having a tough week. We need another good speech.
