Bang the Drum
politics and issues
Barack Obama will earn the right to be called the presumptive nominee of the Democratic party tonight. This is an historical moment. It’s HUGE. HUGE.

But the other is because they are a bunch of insiders - no, elitist insiders - who, throughout most of the campaign were more concerned about delegate counts (which can be important) than issues. Then controversy (which can be important) than issues. It's as if they all had their pens and papers calculating what the likely result was.
Now they're engaged in a guessing game as to whom will be the VP. It's also being stoked on by Hillary people.
Brokaw made a good point. They're going to have to analyze Bill's earnings and his speaker fees and his library contributors. That's because when you get Hillary, you really get Billary.
But you're right. To me, the media loses touch with people and it shows by their inane focus on the inside process.
This is a historic night. And I'm proud of Barack Obama. And my country.

The idiocy has gone beyond idle speculation at this point. It's disgusting that they're not looking at this campaign for what has been accomplished instead of what has caused division.
I tell you, it just drives me craaaaazy.

However, the media have been (falsely) saying Hillary is oh-you-tee OUT since Iowa, banging the drum all day today for Barack as the Super Delegate endorsements came in, and at the same time talking about what's next for her. Why would they stop now - Clinton psychoanalysis and speculation has been their bread and butter. They just can't help themselves, but I really don't see how that is Clinton's fault.
More importantly, the nomination isn't finalized until August, and our common victory will be all the sweeter when it is actually real.

There has been plenty of adulation for Obama from the popular press. There will be plenty, plenty more.
I mean, I noticed your TV is tuned to MSNBC. You can get your fix of Obama love every night---every night!---from Chris Matthews.
