Anyway you never took me up on my challenge. If Obama gets the presidency I will give $100 to your favorite charity if you do the same to mine if he doesn't get the Presidency.
If you believe in your boy and that things don't matter then its a free $100 for you.

I'm not laying a bet on the election, even if the money does go to charity.
As for Rezko and NAFTA and the other shit...it really didn't matter.
2 weeks ago Hillary was ahead by 20 points in both states....tonight she won one state by 8 points and the other by 4. Only in the land of Clinton spin is that a "loss of support" for Obama, and a "momentum changing event" in her favor.
Today wasn't a "momentum changer" for either candidate. This was simply a case of states voting that had demographic advantages for Clinton, whereas in the prior 11 contests there were demographic advantages for Obama. If Texas and Ohio came right after Super Tuesday the results likely would have been the same.
Hell, in this memo that was "accidentally" attached to a news release to Bloomberg right after Super Tuesday

Obama's advisers are predicting victories in 19 of the remaining 27 Democratic primaries and caucuses, with Clinton winning the big states of Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania, according to the campaign document. The final contest is a primary June 7 in Puerto Rico.
Even though they fought hard for the states and played the spin game like they were supposed to (in order to keep fundraising up and turnout to Obama events high) they never thought they would win tonight......and they don't think they'll win in Pennsylvania either.
They do, however, believe that when all is said and done that they will have the most pledged delegates and the most votes, and that's what will matter.
