I'm so confused. Can I be cautiously optimistic here? Hillary took the plums: NY, NJ, and CA. But she was bound to win NY, and Obama gave her a run for her money. (And just fyi, I object to calling the woman by her first name and the man by his last -- patronizing as all hell -- but that's what her campaign is doing so I'm going with it. And you can see the problem: "Clinton" is still Bill.) And Obama took more states, and some odd ones. (North Dakota?) And Missouri, which is major. So I'm thinking, maybe this COULD happen...

One interesting statistic I heard last night is that if you break it down by annual family income, she, by a large percentage, is getting the under $50,000, and he, by the same percentage, the over $50,000 -- not including, of course, black families under $50,000, who go for him. To the extent that that's based on issues, it's got to be health care, and he needs to get on that bandwagon.

And I heard a Republican pundit say last night that Republicans pray for the Democrats to nominate Hillary. That alone is reason to vote for Obama, those of you in states that haven't primaried or caucussed yet. Because yesterday may have been Super Tuesday, but it ain't over.

sjrozan I'm a writer, at work on my 11th book. This blog is a record of random and less-random thoughts. If you want to know more about me, check my website, linked here. I also had a blog going from spring through late fall 2004 about the publishing process for my 9th book, ABSENT FRIENDS. That blog's called "Progress" and you can find the link here. I won't make any more entries but I'm leaving it up in case anyone's interested; the process is more or less the same from book to book.
