O(H!)Bama

The recent primaries held in Indiana and North Carolina proved auspicious for presidential hopeful Barack Obama. An unequivocal win in North Carolina and a pseudo-win in Indiana, although Clinton garnered enough votes to give her a meager win, legitimized Obama's claim to the Democratic throne.

Wielding his resplendent oratorical sword, Obama has received a myriad of different superdelegates, once again validating his predomination over Hillary Clinton.

Despite the rather solemn outcome for Clinton, she refused to admit defeat. Instead, she will continue her campaign for the presidency and further accentuate John McCain's relief at Democratic vacillation. While the campaign lumbers on tumultuously, only time will tell if Clinton's efforts are fruitful. Will we have another Bull-Moose Party? Let us wait; perhaps the political arena will surprise us all with an unusual outcome.
