still relevant

hey, remember us? we’re iowa.

where’ve you been, democratic primary process? you never call anymore, you never write. seems like just a few weeks ago you were all over us. what happened?

well, while you were busy obsessing over obama’s crazy preacher and spitzer’s whoring, we just saved the day, again. y’know how hillary clinton’s campaign was resurrected by her dramatic victories in ohio and texas last week? (okay, so texas wasn’t really a victory. but she won ohio, right?)

yeah. about that.

see, john edwards’ iowa delegates refshuffled today — edwards came in second here, remember? — and, well, barack obama just picked up another seven cornfed hawkeye delegates. and another five in california. how many did clinton pick up in her big-shit ohio victory last week? nine, was it?

so clinton’s vaunted comeback — and i never quite understood how you pull off a “comeback” and still lag miles behind in the delegate count — has been negated, with interest. we’re right back to where we were two weeks ago, which is where we’ll be in july: it’s all but mathematically impossible for hillary clinton to win the delegates she needs to become the nominee.

we’re doing our bit here in the cornbelt. now if we could just do something about florida…
