after sweeping washington, nebraska and louisiana, he's starting to look more like the frontrunner. electability polls bear that out, putting him ahead of all remaining candidates in head to head matchups (obama beats mccain who beats hillary). and he's appropriately starting to take a harder tone in his speeches. Obama stood in front of a mixed hillary / obama crowd (though it sure didn't sound like a mixed crowd - it was 10x more enthusiastic for obama) and delivered some more pointed blows against both hillary and mccain. it's a subtle shift in tone, but a great move made with appropriate timing.
nothing worthwhile in this country has ever happened, except somebody, somewhere was willing to hope
ps - what is with asians in california going 3-1 in favor of hillary? i don't remember the clintons being that good to asian americans... are they just racist? old wounds from the riots? (that's just la though) i know the slightly older asian-am community identified strongly with the feminist movement, but what of the asians under 40? or even the under 30 like myself that obama draws incredibly well from... too busy sitting on the beach or playing ball instead? i just can't wrap my head around why asians were by far the most pro-hillary/anti-obama demographic, even more so than the latino vote they've been talking about so much. maybe the only asians that showed up at the democratic polls are asian women over 50? that's a disheartening thought about my asian am contemporaries, but that's all i can come up with.
