KY/OR/Obama self-coronation thread #1
Apparently, Obama's made-for-TV self-coronation spectacular is on. He'll be flying back to Iowa, first victory, means a lot, hunky bused-in Abercrombie & Fitch guys, yadda yadda yadda, to surround himself with appropriate trappings of splendor and triumphalism for a metric, "majority of the pledged delegates [as of May 20]," that is totally without meaning according to The Rulez. But Obama apparently won't actually use the word "victory", in supposed deference to the tender sensibilities ("Sweetie") of Clinton supporters. ("Sure looks like a victory celebration to me, Keith." "Yes, it does, and so it should. Here comes the balloon drop! WWTSBQ
?") But hey. It's all about looking good! And stealing your opponent's airtime. And suppressing the popular vote in the remaining primaries, of course.
Expectation: Obama will manage to piss off some constituency--I'd guess people who don't like Michelle's tiara, or maybe even the voters in the next primaries, at least, who are being told their votes are meaningless. It never fails. Say, I wonder if he'll have a free moment to leave a message on Hillary's cellphone this time?
Bonus paranoia: Will Obama wheel out another banked endorsement at the coronation?
Expectations: As for the KY and OR votes, nobody knows anything.
