Well I think there are huge issues going on that this election season has revealed about our culture, and I apologize if narrowing it down to one incident is trivializing it. I will write my thoughts on the former at a later date.

Oh my God, why are people in an uproar over Dibble's joke? It wasn't that bad, it was amusing and I make jokes like that all the time. I make black jokes too. This country as a whole needs to stop getting offended so easily. By getting offended, you are allowing yourselves to be subservient.

Correction: About 60/40 Charles/Queen Anne's, the former providing Clinton's margin.

It's not about being offended. It's about what's cool... as long as sexism remains cool, it will be perpetuated.

Sorry for being obtuse, but I still don't understand. Is there someone in particular you were aiming that at?

Ok, what about delegates tonight?

Obama's own projections had him winning more   delegates tonight by the following:

Va  -  43 -40
Md  - 37 -33
DC  -  9  - 6

He exceeded that.  Yes?

By the way, DC is now 89% in (not sure when that happened). 76% for Obama. In case anyone doubted that DC was a Democratic stronghold, despite winning only 24% of the vote, Clinton managed more than quadruple all of the Republicans combined.

Wow. Obama won Catholics! He did better among non-college graduates than graduates! He basically tied among whites, crushed with blacks, and...

He won Hispanics.

Clinton is bleeeeeding.

Are these predominately Americanized English-speaking Hispanics or Spanish-speaking immigrant hispanics? The two groups are quite different and I would expect that the latter would be far more favorable to Clinton.
