So .... what does everyone think of the near end of the presidential primary?

Of course, Sen. Kerry went on a total limb for Barack Obama, and if things hadn't gone Obama's way, it would have been pretty bad for Kerry. So my first reaction to Tuesday's results was "PHEW". Honestly, I could have gotten over Obama losing, but what I couldn't have standed was the blowback the good senator from Mass. would have received had Clinton prevailed. So, #1, it was good for Kerry that Obama did so well on Tuesday.

I also want to give a shout out to BLM for pegging the Clintons correctly long before most of us saw what she saw. Many of us couldn't believe they were capable of the things BLM spoke of. Only now, when we see what the Clintons have descended into in full daylight against Obama are the shadowy things believable. Yesterday, was the lowest of low, when Hillary blatantly said Obama could not get the votes of "hard working Americans. White Americans". I just read on a thread that somebody watched The Daily Show last night (I haven't checked it out yet), and when Jon Stewart played her saying that, there was stunned deafening silence in the room. I am not sure she will be able to recover from this. I suppose in politics, anyone can forge a comeback, but this remark was really up there, like Conason said, George Wallace territory.

Ted Kennedy said no to Hillary being VP. God I hope that is the thinking going on among Democrats and the Obama campaign.

Obama is now organizing a 50 State registration and organizing drive. This is always what Kerry dreamed of, and really, the work for this started in 2004. Obama will now continue and exponentially expand that work, for which the benefits will outlive 2008, that's for sure.

Overall, I am very happy. The Clintons will continue to do evil things. I am not sure what they will do next, when/if she'll have the graciousness to concede. But I am sure they will continue to "entertain" us with more outrageous remarks and behavior.

Everyone else's thoughts?
