That She Blows! Hillary, On The Verge Of Bellying Up, Prompts DiNardo to Support Obama

Monday June 2 2008 It’s mid-afternoon and by now, everyone who remotely cares about this interminable presidential race, knows that U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton has told select staff to fill out their final expense vouchers. So most likely, the sinuses of the junior senator from New York have finally opened up enough to smell the nearly burnt coffee. Another sign that Clinton’s campaign has reached the end of the trail is that Nancy DiNardo of Trumbull, the down-the-middle state Democratic chairwoman, has announced she’s backing U.S. Sen. Barack Obama for the party nomination set for the last week of August in Denver.”Senator Barack Obama has helped to energize thousands upon thousands of Democrats in Connecticut and across the country,” DiNardo said Monday in a statement crafted out of Democratic state headquarters in Hartford. “He has inspired the electorate and won their confidence by demonstrating sound judgment, strength of spirit, dedication to those in need, and belief in the transforming power of community.” Blog-o-rama will spare you most of the rest of her boilerplate statement. “Senator Obama has built his campaign on an appeal to the deep-seated goodness of America,” she gushes, “the goodness that all Americans intuitively understand.” So I guess that makes Obama the Intuitive Candidate. The final count among Connecticut’s so-called super delegates: Obama 10, Clinton 2.
