Obama, in his speech in Virginia tonight following his sweep of all the contests today, produces laughs when he says that, thank goodness, "my cousin, Dick Cheney, will not be on the ballot this November." Then, seemingly ad-libbing, he adds, "that's embarassing. When people look at their genealogical charts they like to find someone cool."Hillary also made a funny today, cracking that the Obama team's new idea that super-delegates should be bound by primary vote in their states was not a good idea, but if it happened at least John Kerry and Ted Kennedy would have to back her.
The largest paper in Ohio, the Plain Dealer, backs Obama in key March 4 race: "Obama's frequent talk of hope strikes some people as naive. It leads others to question his toughness. But Obama understands something his critics do not: Change requires vision and optimism, shared sacrifice and mutual trust. Hope can sustain those elements; a presidency defined by political tactics cannot." Clinton, it adds, "carries an inordinate amount of baggage. Who wants to relive the soap operas of the 1990s?"
