-I have just returned from a 24 hour visit to Red Sox Nation. Not surprisingly, the Red Sox snapped a five game losing streak with a thrilling 9th inning victory. My mere presence at a steak joint in Wayland, Mass. was inspiration enough for my boys.
-Sen. Barack Obama was out with a statement attempting to disassociate himself and his candidacy from the odious Rev. Jeremiah Wright. We'll find out Tuesday in Indiana if voters particularly white voters were appeased. If Obama were running against anyone but Hillary Clinton, you could wheel in the casket right now. But as long as nearly over 50% of the electorate view her as untrustworthy, he's still in the game. But make no mistake about it. Obama is a wounded warrior. At this point Clinton and Obama are like two fighters heading into the 15th and final round. Obama is clearly ahead on points and Clinton's only hope is a KO but she's out of gas. Her only hope is the judges give it to her even though everyone else thinks he won. In this case the judges are the superdelegates and they could declare Hillary the winner. My guess is they know the fans will be throwing chairs and burning down the arena if they take it away from Obama. In either case, the ultimate Democratic nominee will go into the fall election with a lot of baggage.

I don't think there will be chair throwing, unless Dr. Dean steps down and Jerry Springer takes the helm. Actually we could do worse than Jerry: would he have refused to accept the votes in the primaries of 2 states? Talk about wackadoo notions. It is not wrong of HRC to go after Super Delegates. She wants to win. (A refreshing change from Gore and Kerry, as far as I am concerned.) The fault, dear Langan lies in the DNC and its blase assumption that all would be decided by February 08. The voters seem to have other ideas.
Go Sox!
