ARE WE THERE YET? - JAM for Monday 5-12-08

Howdy Folks…

It’s Monday again… and the race for the Democrat nomination for President is still singing its mournful song. This time it rings through the crags and hollers of that “Almost Heaven” state of West Virginia.

Several things relevant to the primary voting on Tuesday: 1) We know there are lots of Democrats. Senator Robert C. Byrd can testify to that – the longest serving Congressional member. 2. The Afro-American minority population is quite small – Census figures provide that information. 3. Actually neither the popular vote nor the super delegates assigned there will do much either way other than provide more talking points for each side.

Hillary is practically snowed under by the media landslide that has developed since last week calling for her to pull out. The most vocal supporter for her staying in I read on the Internet since last week has been James Taranto, Editor of the Online Opinion Journal of the Wall Street Journal. He sees no reason for her to leave although I’d have to say he would not normally be counted among her supporters. He just thinks the contrast of viewpoints is healthy. Don’t look for any decisions to be made on Tuesday.

The script for today’s JUST A MINUTE and the audio track are just below.

Thanks for being here.

Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

WATCHMAN WHAT OF THE NIGHT?

Just A Minute – St. Luke writes In Acts Chapter 27 verse 29, of those on an ill-fated sea voyage to Rome…(quote) ”They cast four anchors out of the stern and wished for the day...” That sums up what Democrats are thinking.

Reports I’ve gotten say the end game is a mess and not likely to get better anytime soon. Earliest would be maybe June 3^rd worst; would a scrap in the Denver credentials committee, or maybe even an old-fashioned floor fight.

My guess is Bill & Hillary didn’t “loan” eleven million bucks out of their own safe to a campaign they planned to lose. Then there’s always the “possibility” (we won’t say ‘hope’) a meteorite might fall or a propitious ‘train wreck’ would happen – not to wish it of course – but to my mind that’s why the Clintons are still in the race.

Remember, Johnnie Edwards was saying twenty-four hours before he withdrew he would be in it to the very end. Somehow you just can’t always figure political speech will be entirely accurate.
