Obama's Super Tuesday Performance

2009 Update: Modified from an email to my brother; the names of congregants have been changed.

As I've been saying to everyone in earshot, don't listen to the Hillary spin - Obama actually 'won' Super Tuesday because he received the most delegates... and that's the score that matters. In baseball, for a simile, the winner is not who gets on base more, but who crosses home plate more. Obama crossed home more than Hillary.

Don't believe me, see this Politico piece:

"NBC News, which is projecting delegates based on the Democratic Party's complex formula, figures Obama will wind up with 840 to 849 delegates, versus 829 to 838 for Clinton. "

What do we know:Obama is still climbing in the polls, does not have Hillary's negatives, and does well in red states. Yet, you can say, Hillary has her great points too! She's got experience! She's slept with a former president (then again, so did Gennifer Flowers... a potential running mate). Hillary has health care experience! 15 years ago - with Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress - she destroyed any chance to get health care!

And she's old. Which is what "experience" means.

This morning, my second favorite congregant [Mr. Chuckletrousers] was gloating at Hillary's win. Yeah, he supports Hillary. She has "experience." Anyway, he said to me (because he knows I hate Hillary) that it's a known fact that the presidents who came into office without experience were bad presidents. To which I responded: "Yeah, Abraham Lincoln was terrible! And you know who was good? George Herbert Walker Bush."

Yup, I said it. I have witnesses.

A few days ago, [Mr. Happypants] (another Hillary supporter... because of "experience") said that he's worried that Obama won't be good for Israel. And I asked him if Obama has hugged Suha Arafat any time recently?

All in all, I'd bet on Obama right now. Good thing too.

Oh, by the way, Obama does pretty well with White Men over Hillary. She has locked up the white women (sorry, that's a bad image vis-a-vis Obama, but that's probably the image Hillary and her race-baiting scumbag advisers like), but will she win any white men in November?

Quick answer: No. They'll flock to McCain

Long answer: Hell no. White men hate Hillary. As P.J. O'Rourke described her: she's America's ex-wife.
