Surely all y’all stayed up to watch the election returns last night/this morning, no?  Not to toot my own horn or anything, but it was a split decision between Obama and Clinton.  I’m somewhat mildly surprised (happily) that Obama nearly pulled off the big upset in IN.  I would never go so far as to call Clinton out, but she’s certainly down, and it looks like the money will not flow and she’ll be sucking fumes from her campaign plane to wheel into West Virginia and...and, where else?  Something tells me that Oregon will not be amongst the campaign stops for HRC.  It’s too far, too much in Obama’s column and what’s the point at this point? 

All in all, this is a big momentum changer for the Dems.  With Obama’s stirring speech (and Hillary still talking about herself rather than us), it looks like we’ve moved on from Bush 1/Clinton 1/Bush 2/Clinton 2 to something else.  About damn time.

But, the night’s biggest loser seems to be John McCain.  In North Carolina, McCain didn’t even pull 3/4 of the vote, so it looks like he can count out some of the base there as “his friends.” To put it another way, let’s boil it down as only the Dredge Report can: 

Funny.  Even for someone with no sense of direction, it sounds like the wrong way to me.
