Now ends the voting portion of our show, with South Dakota and Montana, we are left months away from the Democratic National Convention with Barack Obama claiming the “Projected Nominee” status based on his collection of Super Delegates. South Dakota went to Clinton, while Montana went to Obama. Neither he, nor Hillary Clinton were able to get the Nominee status without them and the fun part of the game, is that they can change their mind whenever they want.
So where are we left? Well, Barack Obama says he is the nominee based upon his reaching the 2,118 delegates needed to secure the nomination. What about Hillary Clinton? She claims she’s not going anywhere as she has the Popular Vote and the fact that the Super Delegates (which helped Obama get to the 2,118 delegates) can change their mind at any point until the Convention.
For those wanting to see… here is a final map of the states won by Obama (Purple) and Clinton (Pink) with Florida & Michigan going to Clinton:
Will Hillary Clinton drop out “officially” in the coming weeks? Will the “Whitey” tape appear and upset Obama’s chances? Will Hillary attempt to become Barack’s VP? Many questions still remain, so stay tuned!
I was browsing the web last night when I came across the new Republican National Convention logo:
Wow… what a logo that is. Wanna see the Democratic National Convention logo? Check it:
I don’t think those mountains stand a chance against that elephant. In fact, here’s an awesome mini-article about the current RNC Logo (The Angry Elephant):
The elephant—a symbol of the Republican Party dating back to Thomas Nast’s cartoon in Harper’s Weekly in 1874—has long been thought to be both “strong and dignified.” While these words have not always described the Grand Old Party itself, they do well apply to the old and familiar elephant symbol, with its simple red and blue graphic forms and three patriotic stars. The new Republican National Convention logo has pushed the immobile elephant in a less cute direction, now looking something like Babar’s evil and dumb cousin who ate wild mushrooms; it’s breaking free of the circus ring in order to bludgeon the crowd. Simplicity has been cast aside with the new agressive stripes, flailing limbs, a curly trunk, and pointy tusks. A terrifyingly patriotic and angry eye stares at the indoctrinated far right, and threatens the majority of the United States (also the world) with a circus of policies we can’t even imagine. Just like the party it symbolizes—the symbol is both unwieldy and frightening—”strong and dignified” no more.
This is what the terror looks like up close, right before you get crushed.

Hilarious and scary all at the same time.
