IT'S OVER . . . BUT IT'S NOT FINISHED

CLINTON WINS PA., BUT THE 'IRAQ WAR' OF CAMPAIGNS CONTINUES

HILLARY CLINTON won the Pennsylvania Democratic primary last night - as predicted.
The race for the Democratic nomination goes on, even though Clinton still has no realistic chance to catch Barack Obama in the popular vote or in elected delegates. It's a reality her campaign can't spin away, but she'll keep trying. And that's not good.

So it's not over, but it ought to be.

It's been seven weeks since the last primary. Time has not flown. In fact, time has dragged us all through the mud of attacks and counterattack that have divided more than united Democrats.

8. This is the general consensus from any actual journalists that are left in this country.

However, Americans would rather be spoon fed their pablum from the Corporate Media talking heads. I am not optimistic that enough people will see what is really taking place. Obama, in his last few speeches has been talking directly to the people, telling Americans that THEY need to wake up and take their country back--just as Dean did--but even more directly. At least, Obama has made it a lot further, and has awakened more Americans to what is really going on in our country. Dean didn't make it past Iowa(even tho he has found a way by becoming the DNC chair, and the 50 state strategy, to further the populist cause.)

Barack has thrown down the gauntlet, and is taking on the fight for us--speaking truth to power. The courage he is showing now is unbelievable. He knows full well, that they will continue the onslaught against him, and try to assassinate his character completely, or worse.

11. Usurping the media..

in my mind, is more important than winning the nomination. If we allow the media to control the narrative we lose. We could not have gotten into the mess we are in without their constant distortion of reality.

10. Hillary is hoping that Obama will fall

and then she can take the nomination. Who is going to take the GOP nomination if McCain falls.
