I am watching the primary returns with my friends Martin and Christopher in the offices of Equal Spaces, P. C., their architecture firm, on CNN, which is not my favorite channel. Lanny Davis from the Clinton campaign, who in my opinion is little better than a lying whore, just finished talking in an effort to spin for Hillary. Get me my barf bag!! The more I hear from the Clinton campaign, the more disingenuous they appear. The returns so far show that Hillary is continuing to lag behind, yet she is such a self-centered egomaniac that she will likely never willingly concede defeat. It is ALL about her and Slick Willie's egos and sense of entitlement no matter how much harm they do to the Democratic Party or the country. I truly hope the final returns will force the superdelegates to declare for Obama and drive a much needed stake through Hillary's heart to kill the monster. A few silver bullets and some wolfbane and garlic might not be a bad idea either. Here are some highlights from America Blog and Andrew Sullivan, repectively, that echo my thoughts:

First, John's comments: "Her only way to win is to bring it to the convention."- Rachel Maddow, May 6, 2008. Oh but don't tell Hillary that. She's on TV right now saying that she's staying in race. She's claiming that she won Indiana - and that's not at all clear. She's begging for donations so that she can stay in the race and continue to maim Obama. Her plan is obvious. She wants to so hurt Obama that he loses in the fall, that way she can run again in 2012 against President McCain, the man she's about to put into office.Enough already. I can't think of a better way to tell Hillary that it's over, that she has lost, that she is now simply doing harm to our nominee and our party, than to make a big fat donation to Barack Obama for President. Click the blue box to the left and make your donation to Senator Obama.Remember how after Pennsylvania Hillary claimed to have raised millions, and she and the media used that to "prove" that somehow Pennsylvania "changed everything"? Well, nothing changed. And tonight, Hillary is reeling after having lost North Carolina in a rout (that's ABC's word), and all the pundits are saying that she is in big trouble after not being able to win Indiana by a landslide.

Next, Andrew's thoughts:
*
No Democrat can win the White House without black votes - and a lot of them. And yet, Clinton has gone backwards fast in this segment for the past three months. . . . And while Obama has done solidly - and increasingly well - among white voters, Clinton's black support has cratered. Judging from my email in-tray, black voters are actually incensed and deeply disillusioned by the tactics of both Clintons. Bill has gone from being viewed as the first black president to being persona non grata and playing up his white Bubba act in rural counties. This is a fatal weakness in a Democratic candidate. And Hillary Clinton is now a fatally wounded politician.
