Obama+Edwards=Lekka Ticket

Yay! Edwards endorsement=unstoppable. I actually think that he would make a solid running mate for Obama. Granted, he didn't help much last time, but the biggest problem in '04 was that nobody was passionate about the democratic ticket. Obama has already cornered the market on passion and charisma, and brought in the two notoriously non-voting Dem voting blocks that can deliver the presidency (young voters and minorities). Now all he needs is an earnest partner who can deliver the non-black portion of the working class that Clinton says belongs to her, which is Edwards exactly.

The funniest part of the CNN coverage was the little Breaking News headline bar that they keep scrolling on the bottom of the page. It kept saying, "Breaking News: Edwards pulled out of the Democratic race in January"...no, really?? And,"Breaking News: Edwards left the race with 26 delegates." Scintillating coverage.


South African phrase of the week: "lekka" meaning cool
As "in long live the madre, the lekka lekka madre" (this year's mothers day card...this is what happens when two sisters are forced to compromise on one line).
