The part where Barack says “Is that the best you can come up with?” (apparently in response to McCain’s attempt to juxtapose Obama with celebretards like Paris and Britney) is classic.

Jay Smooth offers an excellent analysis of the Ludacris — Obama flap.

Obama says, “I think you’re good, but you should stop using words like “bitch.”
Luda says, “Obama thinks I’m good, bitch!” Haha!

This is better than that T.I. video.

Even though the AP called it for Obama as early as 2:00 pm yesterday, I waited to see if anything would change overnight. You never know with the Clinton Machine. But it looks like Obama has the nomination locked down for sure this time. His 2,156 delegate tally puts him well above the 2,118 required to win the nomination.

Basically, she’s saying this race needs to continue until either:
a) a Clinton wins, or
b) the likely nominee gets killed

I understand she’s fatigued from the rallies and all, but that was such a callous thing to say. She should’ve known better. At this rate, she might as well forget about that 2012 nomination she’s been setting herself up for.

What’s next? Will the Clinton campaign start handing out sniper rifles at Obama rallies?

Oh boy, more Obamamania.

6th Sense transforms a phrase from Common’s “The People” into a political anthem. I wonder, what will all these cheerleaders do if Obama doesn’t win?

Esco says he’s still on the fence, but would love an Obama presidency:

“I’d love to see Barack Obama become the president. He’s the face of America, hands down,” the rapper said. “There’s no two ways to look at it, man. The man’s got what it takes. He’s serious. As a kid, you always think, ‘We’ll never see a black president,’ you know? ‘There’ll never be a black president.’ And you always feel that way. Everybody’s always grew up that way, black and white. So I think now, with Obama having a great chance of winning, I think [with] black and white, there’s been something lifted off their shoulders. It’s like, ‘This can happen. This can be great.’ And it’s about time.” …

New Mexico governor Bill Richardson, who served under Bill Clinton as Secretary of Energy, has chosen unity over loyalty. The country’s sole Hispanic governor plans to endorse Obama’s candidacy.

In an e-mail to supporters, Richardson said Obama will be a “historic and a great president, who can bring us the change we so desperately need by bringing us together as a nation here at home and with our allies abroad.”

Richardson also said in the e-mail that he was touched by Obama’s recent speech on race in America, saying he “understands clearly that only by bringing people together, only by bridging our differences can we all succeed together as Americans.”[via: CNN]

What took him so long? Do I smell an Obama-Richardson ticket on the horizon?

P.S: When I first heard about Richardson’s endorsement, this story came to mind.

Thoughtful. Straightforward. Sensational.
