online.wsj.com— Other than ensuring the Greatest Show on Earth will continue, does it matter that Hillary Clinton defeated Barack Obama Tuesday in Pennsylvania by nine-plus points? Barack Obama is the nominee.

If you want to know how liberal Obama is on economic issues, take a look at what he has done to the state of Illinois. As of July we will have the highest sales tax in the nation. 11.5%. Ask yourself what that does to the economy of Chicago! For all of you geography majors, Chicago is right next to Wisconsin, Indiana, and Michigan. Guess where people will be going to shop come July. I work in the hospitality and travel industry and we are losing A LOT of convention and tourism business due to this tax increase. Also, as if the increase in sales tax wasn't enough, there is a luxury tax on hotel rooms that is currently at 15.4%, soon to be 16.4%. I hope "Change" comes to all of your states too, courtesy of the glorious Barack Obama. At least then we won't look so bad to convention business when compared nationally.
Obama has said ‘I can no more disown Reverend Wright than I can disown the black community.Does this mean the black community has been disowned by Obama?
This headline is more unlikely by the day. Over the weekend DNC Chairman Howard Dean said that the Super Delegates would likely decide the candidate. On Monday afternoon he said that one of the candidates would have to step down before the convention. My suspicion is that a number of the Super Delegates told him to show some leadership and get this decided before the convention. The only reason for that is that they are leaning toward Hillary because Obama is looking less able to deliver swing states and there is even a chance that he could lose California. Reverend Wright is the official reason, but it goes deeper then that. Obama does not stand close scrutiny.

I like how you personally addressed him, like he's here daily, checking to see what you think.

Ahh the relative morality concept--so, is anything wrong according to you--or is it, if it feels good do it?
