Tonight, after Barack Obama clinched the Democratic nomination and gave his victory speech in St. Paul, MN, Anderson Cooper and his panel over on CNN, whose members included Donna Brazile, David Gergen, Jeff Toobin, and Gloria Borger, made some comedy gold.Transcript:Anderson Cooper: Did he tell you in that phone conversation, that you had privately with him, about how he plans to do that?

Tomorrow, with Montana and South Dakota holding their primaries, the Democratic nomination process will technically be over. Barack Obama needs 38.5 delegates to meet the new magic number of 2118 that was established after the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee came to the decision about Florida and Michigan, and it's highly likely that he will get to that number and even surpass it after the results

This past Saturday, Barack Obama (as well as Hellary) took a trip down to Puerto Rico because, from what I've heard, the island has the most ideal conditions for assassinating Presidential candidates. I kid! I kid! But, if one of Clinton's cronies did decide to pull a fast one, he/she would have had to deal with this man:(Barack Obama's Security Detail)Anyway, Barack started his day off speaking

Hillary Clinton, in giving an interview May 23 to Sioux Falls' Argus Leader, invoked the horrific assassination of Bobby Kennedy as a justification for her staying in this race at least until June. When I heard this, I truly was in disbelief. Senator Clinton, throughout this bitter campaign, has said some, what I considered to be, pretty indefensible things (i.e. "white" Americans would not vote

I'm so glad the folks at Jay Leno picked up on this; I can't imagine how anyone else couldn't have. While watching Hillary speak today to a group of really old senior citizens, I couldn't help but watch the old man right behind her. The way he looked expressed exactly how I was feeling. Also, it looked like Paula Dean made her way to the rally. Although, she looks like she's recently suffered

HBO's new mini-series "Recount", about the fiasco that was the Florida ballot recount of the 2000 Bush v. Gore election, will air this Sunday night at 9pmET. The star of the film, Kevin Spacey, who plays Ron Klain, made the rounds today on MSNBC to promote the film.With everything going on currently in the Democratic nomination process, I find this to be an odd time to release the film.

A couple nights ago, I happened to catch the last bit of Charlie Rose's interview with the UK's Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs David Miliband. This man has got one of the silkiest British accents I've heard in quite some time (at least from a politician), not to mention he's very good looking.

Today while campaigning in Kentucky, Hillary Clinton kept up her "I'm the most electable candidate and I'm not gettin' out anytime soon" spiel by trying to persuade the crowd of "hard-workin blue collar whites" that, according to her fuzzy math (counting FL and MI and not counting caucus states), she has the lead in popular vote.

The words to Allen Toussaint's song "Yes We Can Can" dovetails with Obama's campaign theme.
