Senator Barack Obama continued to move closer to the Democratic nomination with a split of the two primaries held last night. In Kentucky Obama was once again handily defeated by Senator Hillary Clinton. In Kentucky the results were:
Clinton 459,145 65%
Obama 209,771 30%
Other 32,211 5%
In Oregon Obama coasted to victory. Those numbers (88% reporting):
Obama 330,533 58%
Clinton 235,937 42%
Obama, despite Hillary’s continued insistence that a path to victory exists for her, is begining to re-tool his operation for the general election. He has now claimed a majority of the pledged delegates, and is inching towards the number currently needed (without FLA or Michigan) to win the nomination outright. Despite that he walked gingerly on the Clinton issue. From the Washington Post:
Recalling the lengthy road he has traveled, Obama told a boisterous crowd gathered near the Iowa state Capitol: “Tonight, Iowa, in the fullness of spring, with the help of those who stood up from Portland to Louisville, we have returned to Iowa with a majority of delegates elected by the American people, and you have put us within reach of the Democratic nomination for president of the United States.”
The sniping with McCain has already begun. In Iowa (Washington Post)Obama said:
“This year’s Republican primary was a contest to see which candidate could out-Bush the other, and that is the contest John McCain won,” Obama said.
Where does Hillary go from here?

Your Honor,
Picture Senator Obama in a military Humvee unknowingly coming upon a hidden IDU. When he gets the votes he needs the IDU will blow up politically. Women will hate for his “treatment of Hillary”
Do you think the Democrats will come together after the convention?

I think so, but at the same time some of the forces being unleashed will be difficult to bottle back up. I do not understand what the Clinton endgame is here, and frankly it is her unleashing the forces that may not be controllable. The key to being able to answer your question is truly understanding what the Clinton political strategy is, and what the ramifications of that strategy are.

Your Honor,
This should be under the “big foot print” entry, except for the seriousness of his illness so I will place an important entry here.
If you go to the You Tube URL below you will see what we can expect from the Democrats when they become the dominate party.
See and hear Maxine Waters threaten to nationalize the oil companies in America to pander to her constituency. I have heard Hillary make the same boast.
That big footprint will be our neck.
What has happened to American individually?
