Obama wins Wyoming
Obama halted Clinton’s momentum tonight by winning Wyoming. I figure inWyoming, they probably wouldn’t be up at 3AM for a phone call either. The turnout was 9,000 voters. Huh? I thought this was the year of record Democratic turnout? I guess not. Undoubtedly this will lead to more Obama is JFK talk.
In more disturbing news, we lost a house seat in Illinois. Dennis Hastert’s old seat went to Bill Foster over Jim Oberweis. I’m not in that district so I didn’t get to vote, but I never miss the opportunity to enjoy Oberweis’s ice cream and other dairy products. I have a quart of dulce de leche ice cream in the freezer now and though its got a foreign name its pure American carmely goodness. Foster is a tax and spend liberal who was in an Oberweis commercial saying “Nothing can’t be improved by throwing money at it”. He’s also going to try and raise everybody’s taxes by $8,000 per year. Both candidates spent a lot of money on the election, but I can’t help thinking that the world is sadder somehow that the guy who worked with chemicals I can’t pronounce beat the man who runs a business that produces something pure and wholesome like milk and ice cream.
