I haven't actually written a blog post in a while, so I thought I'd give a little update on the state of the Democratic primary.
Since the supposed disaster of March 4th, when Obama actually ended up winning more delegates in Texas than Clinton, and Clinton picked up only around 10 delegates on Obama...........Obama has now one Wyoming and Mississippi decisively.
61-38 in Wyoming
61-37 in Mississippi
Apparently though, if you watch the mainstream media, those 2 states don't really matter. Only the white racist states that Hillary can win "really" count.
However, if you look at the number....ah, those damn numbers bringing you back to reality....Hillary can't win the nomination....she just can't. She'd have to win 80-20 or 90-10 in all the remaining states in order to catch Obama. And if Obama can just keep the superdelegates that are already pledged to him, he will have enough delegates (2025) to clinch the nomination.
Here's the latest polls in the 2 big upcoming states:
North Carolina
Obama - 49
Clinton - 41
Pennsylvania
Clinton - 55
Obama - 36
Clinton - 45
Obama - 31
Shocking! Hillary is going to win Pennsylvania, probably fairly comfortably, but not by as much as is shown in these polls. And Obama is going to win North Carolina, although not by a huge margin.
SO.......after saying all this, what I'm really saying is.....IT'S OVER! I'm calling it! MarxistGopher is officially calling this race for Barack Obama. The math shows that Hillary can't catch him. she'd need a mass defection of the superdelgates, some strange unfair scenario in FL and MI, and she'd probably need to steal some of Obama's pledged delegates at the convention. AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!!!
Barack Obama will be the Democratic Presidential nominee!

Indiana quarterback suspended indefinitely for violating team rules
Spitfires continue to fall apart......
INDIANAPOLIS - Indiana suspended record-setting quarterback Kellen Lewis indefinitely on Thursday for violating team rules with spring practice about three weeks away.
"He will not participate as we begin spring practice," coach Bill Lynch said in a statement. "Kellen needs time away from the program and we look forward to his return at some point in the future."
Team spokesman Jeff Keag would not give details about what rules Lewis violated.
Keag said Lynch would make no additional comments on what led to the suspension or when Lewis might return to the team.
Losing Lewis leaves one of the Big Ten's top offenses from 2007 without its leader.
Lewis threw for 3,043 yards and 28 touchdowns and rushed for another 736 yards and nine more TDs while starting all 13 games and leading the Hoosiers to their first bowl game in 14 years. With his favorite target, receiver James Hardy, leaving a year early for the NFL, Lewis was expected to use this spring to build new bonds with receivers such as Ray Fisher and James Bailey.
Instead, the Hoosiers will spend the spring adjusting. Practice begins March 25.
Lewis' backup last year, Ben Chappell, who will be a sophomore, now inherits the starting job even though he has thrown two passes in college. Chappell played in three games last season.
Indiana's only returning backup, Teddy Schell, who did not play as a freshman in 2007, is also expected to miss the entire spring with an elbow injury.
Lynch is moving safety Mitchell Evans back to quarterback, where he opened fall camp in 2007. Evans was twice an all-state high school quarterback in Ohio. He moved to safety for his freshman season.
The Hoosiers do not expect to have another quarterback in camp until the fall, unless Lewis returns before Indiana's intrasquad scrimmage April 19.
In addition, the Hoosiers must also find replacements for Marcus Thigpen, their second-leading rusher, and cornerback Tracy Porter, who like Hardy is expected to be drafted in April. Both were seniors last season.
Lewis burst onto the scene in September 2006 when the Hoosiers' top two quarterbacks were hurt. He was pressed into service at Ball State and rallied the Hoosiers to a come-from-behind victory. He secured the starting job a couple of weeks later and wound up throwing for 2,221 yards and 19 touchdowns as a redshirt freshman.
Last year, Lewis developed into as one of the conference's most dangerous dual-threat quarterbacks. He broke school single-season records for attempts (442), completions (265), yards passing, TD passes, total touchdowns (37), total yards (3,709) and completion percentage (60.0)
He is currently tied with Antwaan Randle El for most TD passes in a career (42) and ranks among the school's top five for career yards (5,264), completions (455) and attempts (788).

Looking Ahead: The 2008 Keepers
Woah. The 2007 BTFFL has been decimated by Juniors leaving early for the NFL – certain keepers, Mendenhall, Thomas, Hardy, and Manningham are gone. At first glance, I don’t see a single team that has the full contingent of five keepers next year. Let’s break it down:
Fightin’ Farmers:
Definite: Adam Weber, Chris Wells, Terry Robiskie, Eric Decker
On the Bubble: None
Unlikely: None
Andy’s enthusiasm for Gray could have pushed Weber to the Bubble, but Weber is the current starter, was huge in the BTFFL, and until I see something solid, I have to assume he’s the starter next year, too. As long as Robiskie doesn’t go pro, the core of the championship team comes back.
Definite: Kellen Lewis, PJ Hill, Duane Bennett
On the Bubble: John Clay
Unlikely: Kory Sheets
The team most hurt by the early departures. Rashard Mendenhall and Mario Manningham would have been certain keepers and to add insult to injury, Adrain Arrington, a guy who would have been on the bubble with the departure of Manningham, leaves too. Still this team has fewer holes to fill than the two Gopher Bowl participants.
Bucky’s Goodgers:
Definite: Curtis Painter, Juice Williams
On the Bubble: CJ Bacher
Unlikely: Daniel Dufrene,
Will this team keep 2 or 3 Quarterbacks? The Goodgers are loaded up on possible starting Running Backs next season, so there may be a possibility of five keepers here but it seems a long shot at this point. Devin Thomas goes pro after one great season.
Golden Goblins:
Definite: Tyrell Sutton, Jaycen Taylor, Javon Ringer
On the Bubble: Arrelious Benn, Evan Royster
Unlikely: None
The Golden Goblins will return a stable of productive Running Backs. Can they build around them? Benn remains a question mark – he certainly showed flashes and Juice was a star so does Benn break out as a sophomore?
