Has Obama really passed Hillary? Could the person I voted for ACTUALLY be winning? That never happens. Technically, that has never happened. But that would just be too good to be true. Right? Why should a good candidate actually prevail? Why should someone who seems to be able to unite a country divided across all manner of fault lines actually move towards the position where he might actually be able to make a difference?
But it appears that Obama passed Hillary sometime this morning in actual delegate totals, 847 - 834. So I'm going to hold off celebrating. But I'm pretty damn pleased. It's not over. But it's moving in the right direction.

Super Tuesday, Superlicious
It's hard to feel the hysteria from my couch. But I can tell it's there, somehow. I get the sense that big wheels are in motion, and that's refreshing. Someone is stirring the pot. Which to me is always preferable to letting things simmer. Change is good. Even if it's not necessarily the right change. It's still an impetus; an excuse for people to get up off their ass and do something different, even if it's just to object to the change. Which some people I'm sure think is ludicrous. But otherwise we stagnate. And I can't think of anything worse than that.
