Are average Americans more like the voters in Kentucky or like the voters in Oregon?

As the pundits try to unwrap what happened yesterday, one thing should be clear: Hillary won the night on Tuesday.

No matter how hard Obama tries to close the door on her, he cannot.

His effort to use Iowa to remind voters of the hope they ignited is pitiful. (How would the vote turn out today if Iowa voters could vote again? Are there any bitter voters who might change their vote?)

Is the most important result that Obama won Oregon? No.

With 88% of the Oregon vote counted, Obama leads Clinton by approximately 95,000 votes. If the trend continues, he will have beaten her by less than 120,000 votes. It seems like a big margin until you compare the numbers to Kentucky.

What matters is that at the end of the day, Clinton trounced Obama by 250,000 votes in Kentucky.

What matters is that HRod beat Obama 65% to 30% in Kentucky.

When the night's votes are counted, Clinton will have received at least 100,000 votes more than Obama.

How is this information not relevant to the primary run? To the Super Delegates?

Again, are average Americans more like the voters in Kentucky or the voters in Oregon?

The trajectory for Clinton is on the upswing, even as she faces a far left mainstream media that seeks to destroy her candidacy. (Does she now see the bias that conservatives have recognized for decades? It must be difficult for her to be on the receiving end of their ire...)

Clinton's speech writers should be fired up today- instead they seem to be asleep. Is their malaise purposeful? How badly does she want the nomination this year? Perhaps she does not.

As McCain and Obama continue their campaigns against each other, the Democratic movement will drift to the left. Obama will continue chastising Americans for wanting to live comfortable lives when others around the world struggle without air conditioning and McDonald's. Obama will slip in his speeches because he is young and inexperienced and arrogant.

Michelle Obama will continue to pout about her struggle to survive with a $300,000 per year job in a country as mean as America. (Thankfully, she no longer has to struggle under the burden of their student loans that they finally paid off - maybe someone should ask her what their student loan payments were every month and also what their interest rate happened to be...)

This is good news for Republicans. The country is not as extreme as Obama and his followers believe. Average Americans will begin to pay attention in September and they will see the naked Emperor and they will turn away from his disdain for the average American and the principles that have helped guide this country for well over 200 years. They will reject HIS efforts to use race to divide us. They will not be hoodwinked by a modern day shyster.

Unlike the Obamas, I have faith in the American people and the American Dream. Both are alive and well and both will win in November.

I would rather have a third Bush term than a second Carter term...

I will set my thermostat at 72 degrees. On some days I might even be really selfish and set the thermostat at 70. I will eat what I want. I will drive my many children around in my conversion van. (click here for Obama comments)

I will not ask people in other countries whether or not this is OK or if they are happy about it.

I will continue to urge my legislators to pursue nuclear power.

I will also support those legislators who encourage our country to cease supporting the Ethanol boondoggle before our food supply is diminished, food prices soar and we fall further behind in our pursuit of longer term energy solutions.

I will support those who understand that opening up a minuscule portion of ANWR to oil drilling will help us bridge the chasm to cleaner fuel. Drilling would occur in the area of ANWR that is flat, has no light for nearly 2 months of the year, temperatures reach 100 below zero and the tallest plant barely reaches one foot tall. (click here for info on ANWR)

The same for the development of shale use. (click here for info on shale)

The same for drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. (click here for recent news release)

I will also support legislators who understand that it is not their business what I choose to eat or if I eat more than my neighbor.

Obama-like liberals who think they need to protect us from ourselves in every aspect of our lives must be stopped. There is no end to their pursuit of control over us.

Obama's willingness to make such a sweeping comment in an open campaign rally should wake up Americans who value freedom. He no longer thinks he needs to be careful about what he says- he just openly states what he sees to be obvious: Americans need to change our lifestyles, we need to lower our standard of living and diminish our quality of life to appease other counties.

This is ridiculous.

I hope to spend my summer well-fed and happy and in my air-conditioned house when I am not riding around in my air-conditioned car...

Barack and Michelle Obama need to toughen up. Their incessant whining about campaign ads that offer facts about what they say, what they do and what they believe is not only not presidential, it demonstrates their naivete and incompetence. (click here for Reuters' article)

"For the first time in my adult lifetime I'm proud of my country." Michelle Obama uttered these very meaningful words while on the campaign trail. This was not something she said in private and was taken out of context. This comment offers voters insight into her philosophy about life in America. It tells us how she feels about a country that has offered her more opportunity than the vast majority of people in the world could never begin to imagine.

Additionally, referring to the Tennessee Republican party as "low class" because it dared to try to show voters the true Obama perception of America (click here to see ad) actually shines light on the elitism felt by the Obama's. Bob Beckel's views aside- Obama and his wife are elitists who think anyone who disagrees with their one world view is ignorant.

When Michelle Obama told "Good Morning America" that her comments on her lack of pride in America weren't important because voters were more focused on the issues, she fails to grasp that her lack of pride in America IS an issue: She wants to help build an America she can be proud of- an America that increasingly whittles away the United States Constitution, American Sovereignty and the sovereignty of each of the 50 states. (By the way, I mean 50...)

I hope the Tennessee Republicans maintain their efforts to inform voters and I join with them in professing my absolute pride in America.
