Rendell On Clinton
Here's Ed Rendell, talking about Hillary Clinton dropping out of the race over the weekend. Meh. It's not as good as Eagles analysis from the governor, I can tell you that.

Obama To Lose Election
 |
Wow, all women? You think she could have at least won the nomination with that kind of support.
Oh, I see: The newest media narrative is Hillary Clinton supporters who hate Barack Obama; presumably, these are the bitter voters who shoot guns and love Jesus. Anyway, this syndicated column is all about how John McCain will now be president and it's all the media's and Obama's fault for winning all those delegates.

IT'S FINALLY OVER
Hillary Rodham Clinton tonight will concede that Barack Obama has the delegates to secure the Democratic nomination, campaign officials said, effectively ending her bid to be the nation's first female president.
Oh no wait we still have the general election. Well, at least we know that will end on the first Tuesday in November, right? I think that's what happened the last time there was a presidential race with no incumbent.
Update: Hillary camp says it's not true! Nevermind, this is never going to end!

'PW' Editors Elsewhere
Oh, forgot to link this the other day: PW A&E editor Tara Murtha has a post on Comedy Central's InDecision 2008 blog about her fantasy of a hetero-lesbian crush on Hillary Clinton. Which is odd, because I also have a hetero-lesbian crush on her. Er, wait.

Nutter, Clinton Gaze Into Each Other's Eyes
 |
A very nice reader sent in a photo taken last night after the election. As you can tell from the shot, Hillary Clinton and Michael Nutter got married last night.

'PW' Chatted With The Losers!

She also got video of Obama at Pat's (of course) and a near-riot of Obama and Clinton supporters outside City Hall, putting my work ethic to shame.

OMG Who Won?
It's been roughly an hour since the polls closed, and... we dunno. Hillary Clinton is ahead on early returns, with about 3 percent of the vote, and notorious funnyman Bill Bennett is now saying on CNN that Barack Obama can't win, so that means Hillary Clinton has won the nomination.
Or maybe not! It was 55-45, Clinton, a minute ago and now it's 53-47. Meanwhile, the Flyers were up 2-1 on a cheap goal but then fell asleep and let the Capitals tie the game. The Phillies, who aren't on TV apparently (update: Oh, they're on 57. Stupid Comcast.), are scoreless. Since the Phillies and Flyers will each be winners or losers tonight -- unlike the pointlessness of the Pennsylvania primary, it seems -- I think I'll be paying attention to those the rest of the night.
Update: Oh, Fox News says Hillary Clinton wins! That means CNN will follow in a minute or two.

M. Night Shyamalan Votes!
 |
KYW 1060's Mark Abrams reports:
Filmmaker M. Knight Shyamalan was at the polling place at the Gladwyn fire company in Lower Merion township to cast his vote: "I had a tough time deciding. I did. You know, I hung out with them, I've listened to them and it was a tough one. It's great; we had some amazing choices this year"
No he didn't offer who got his vote, Clinton or Obama. But in this case, there's an "Unbreakable" bond between voter and candidate.
Okay, I'm making the "Signs" for a foul call here. You don't need a "Sixth Sense" to know that's even worse than any joke I'd make. Actually, I would guess Shyamalan would be a Hillary Clinton fan, since he probably read her book, It Takes A "Village." That joke was almost as bad as that awful movie "Lady in the Water."

Bolivians For Hillary!
Ward 5, Division 13. Irrate pro-Hillary business owner (of Bolivian extraction) of store adjacent to polling place kicked Obama signs, paid people on the street to tear signs down, confronted and physically intimidated Obama campaign volunteers and pursued workers to their local office down the block where he continued his intimidating behavior until escorted out/asked to leave.
We salute you, irate pro-Hillary Bolivian, for making this election day worthwhile.

Local Blogger Heroically Cancels Out Conservative Radio Host's Clinton Vote
 |
He said he was switching because he felt Clinton was the best candidate and that she'd be easier for John McCain to beat in November. "It might be the vote I remember for my lifetime," Giordano wrote. "And it might be my best vote."
Well, ha ha, Dom Giordano, get this: I specifically switched from not affiliated to Democrat to vote for Barack Obama to cancel out your vote. Your vote didn't count! I did this not out of any affinity for Barack Obama or distaste for Hillary Clinton, or even really out of any hatred for you or John "Walnuts" McCain. I pretty much just wanted to ruin your plan just for the fun of ruining it. And, oh boy, was it fun!
I didn't even want to vote for Obama. He annoys me with his message of hope and change and his supporters are almost as annoying as Ron Paul's. I wouldn't have switched over to Democrat to vote for the Hopemonger if not for the opportunity to ruin this dude's plan. (I'll have no problem voting for Obama in the general, if only to vote against John McCain.) Now somebody tell him. Or don't, really, because I'll know his vote didn't count and that's really all that matters. (Unless my plan didn't work; I was still marked as "not affiliated" in the book at my polling place. But, if that's the case, then I exposed a flaw in the state's voting system. A hero either way!)
In my brief time as a Democrat -- I'll be switching back when I get a chance -- I voted for Brian Hickey for First District Senate and Chrissmari for State Treasurer.

Boardwalk Merchants Encourage Voting
 |
Citizen Mom went down the shore over the weekend and spotted this wall of incredible bootleg t-shirts on the Wildwood boardwalk, including shirts for Obama, Clinton and even creepy old John McCain. The "Osama for Obama" one begs the question: No "Barry Hussein" shirts?

Oh Noes! Who Will Win Tomorrow?!
 |
In most elections, like the Philadelphia mayoral race last year or the general election this coming November, we already know who's going to win. (Respectively: Michael Nutter and Ron Paul.) But tomorrow we don't know who's going to win! Alli Katz has posted this poll chart from Pollster (that I've made a little easier to follow with some additions) that shows that ... I dunno.
Clinton is up by a few points, and will probably win by a few points. But we're not 100 percent completely sure, and so tomorrow will be fun.
By fun, of course, I mean not fun.

Your Quote Of The Day
A friendly reader sends along this quote he heard on the Washington Post's politics podcast from Hillary Clinton:
"I really think this is one of the defining issues in this campaign between me and my opponent. Now unfortunately, he doesn’t cover everyone. And he is attacking me with a new ad that he has put up because I do cover everyone with more misleading information."
Mhmm. Indeed you do, Ms. Clinton. Indeed you do.

Pennsylvanians Hate All Candidates
 |
Wonkette has posted this incredible sign from somewhere in central-ish Pennsylvania, coming up with nicknames for the candidates: Barry "Nobama" Obama and Hillary "Lying Narcisist [sic?] Bitch" Clinton.
We need these signs around here. NOW.

Hillary Clinton Won't Ever Leave Us Alone
 |
And you thought you could escape the election during a simple Phillies-Mets game, at least in between the commercial breaks. No go: Hillary Clinton's supporters parked right behind the Phillies dugout -- which meant that after the cameras realized there were Clinton signs there, we never saw another shot of a left-handed batter from that angle again. Thanks for ruining the game, Hillary!
No sporting arena is safe, it seems: Tonight, there's a rally with Bill, Hillary and Chelsea at The Palestra. Hillary was naturally on Q102 this morning as well.

Hillary: Comfortable In The Kitchen!
 |
Nope, it was said by none other than Hillary Clinton!
Clinton also brought up this week's Philadelphia debate without naming her rival, Sen. Barack Obama. She said her opponent complained about some hard questioning by the moderators, but said that it was nothing compared to her own eight years in the White House as first lady. She quoted Harry Truman: "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." She added that she's comfortable in that "kitchen."
When Hillary Clinton is president, such sexist comments will be outlawed.

Larry West Supports... No One!
 |
And what do you know! He emailed me a little bit ago:
Hey, how are you? Long time, no write, huh? Well, I'm working on a new site and campaign called "None of the Above", where I basically say that no one running should be President. The front runners are only "OK" in my eyes. There's more to come, but have a few images you may like [see at right--dmac]
-Larry
So there you go: Uhh... nobody. I assume when he writes "the front runners," he means Clinton and Obama and not John McCain. In fact, I'm pretty sure of that.

Turns out Clinton wanted me to share my bank account information in exchange for a cabinet position. Thanks to my Thunderbird, I was able to scoop out this 409 (ha!) 419 scam.

CBS 3: Old People Hate Obama!
Yesterday, CBS 3's dreamy Susan Barnett did a report on how a bunch of old people love Hillary Clinton and John McCain and hate Barack Obama. But not because he's black! Just because.... they don't want to vote for him. Also, apparently everyone thinks Iraq attacked us on 9/11 and that Obama hates America and won't salute the flag.
Oh, and the one black guy hates John McCain because he's a "all the big boys get bigger", apparently. Well, duh.

Clinton Whines About People Whining
Hillary Clinton was on Good Day Philadelphia this morning to dance with mascots to whine about Barack Obama whining about the awful debate. Again, the news media continues to focus on the issues.
To note: Her campaign sent this video out; she will soon be imprisoned for copyright infringement.

Hillary: Penn Kids Like Me!
 |
Hillary Clinton's campaign actually sent out this press release about an hour ago trumpeting the Daily Pennsylvanian's endorsement of Hillary Clinton in today's paper.
Oddly enough, the paper also endorsed John McCain for some reason.

Obama, Clinton Ads Now Getting Meticulous
The debate wasn't the only pointless thing yesterday. We've now entered into the stretch of meta-advertisements for the candidates; I saw this Clinton ad almost back-to-back with this Obama ad yesterday afternoon -- I cut out an ad for Mr. Clean or something that was in between them -- and, what do you know, it's a Clinton ad attacking that formerly ubiquitous Obama ad, and then... an Obama ad attacking that Clinton ad you just saw.
Is it Tuesday already?

Everybody Hated The Debate
 |
Yet, by the time Iraq was even brought up at Wednesday night’s debate more than 45 minutes had passed, by the time economy was broached an hour had gone by and by the time gas prices were discussed more than 90 minutes had passed. A question about health care was never even asked. “It’s almost like one of those reality shows now,” said Sheila Melville of Doylestown Township, who stood along Arch Street outside the Constitution Center Wednesday night with a Clinton sign in hand. “I think it has become about emotions, not the issues.”
Wednesday night’s debate was Clinton and Obama’s first debate since Feb. 26, but they’ve faced off in more than 20 debates in the past year and, at this point, what more do they have to argue about? So instead of focusing on the differences in their health care proposals and plans to end the war, the media have shown shots of Obama rolling gutter balls in an Altoona bowling alley or Clinton downing a shot of Crown Royal in an Indiana bar.
Irie Lewis, an Obama supporter from Yeadon, Delaware County, said she can no longer watch cable news anymore due to the lack of focus on relevant issues. “I think the media focuses everything on he said, she said politics and it stinks,” Lewis said as she clutched a “PA For Obama” sign in one hand and an “Obama ’08” sign in the other.
But whooooooo did Hillary down that shot real good! I'm gonna vote for her!

Hillary To Head To Mayfair
 |
While she's debating Barack Obama tonight, Hillary Clinton will attempt to re-capture her husband's magic by appearing, like he did, at the Mayfair Diner.
Meanwhile, Action News' Jim Gardner has just told us that for tonight's debate, the podiums are much closer together than usual. No, really.
