    Dear Superdelegate Reggie Whitten of Oklahoma,

    By briantologist | April 18, 2008

    (From here)

    One superdelegate, Reggie Whitten of Oklahoma, endorsed Mr. Obama on Tuesday because, he said, he believed the candidate needed a new public vote as the Clinton camp was battering him daily over the bitter remark.

    “I don’t think all of this divisiveness is helping him, so it was a good time to send a signal of support from a conservative state like Oklahoma that we believe in him,” said Mr. Whitten, a lawyer from a suburb of Oklahoma City.

    Oh, y’know what that little pang I just felt was? Pride, if you can believe it. Way to go, Reg. Can I call you Reg?

    your pal,

    -b.

      I’m so worried about the election now. Seriously. Could we possibly lose this one to McGoiter?

      Thank you Mr. Whitten.

      I wish the superdelegates, especially those in states that have already voted, would cast their votes immediately. The negativity of this year’s nomination process is spliting the party badly.

      The people are suffering so much, Mr. Whitten. I’m scared that I will be losing my house soon and can’t find work. The democratic party needs it’s candidate and to start seriously addressing the problems suffocating the average person– NOW!

      OBAMA 08

      Former US Senator and University of Oklahoma President David Boren also endorsed Obama this week. We Okies aren’t so crazy after all, sometimes.

      Congrats…. I wonder if you also endorse his “flipping of the bird” to Senator Clinton. He will make the Democrats proud as nominee.

      I, too, am proud to be from Oklahoma tonight.

      Sure, it’ll go away tomorrow, but tonight? PROUD!

      I’d think it was a little ridiculous if Obama gave Clinton the finger. I’d also think it was ridiculous if he hadn’t been scratching the same spot on his face with his pinky finger a minute earlier in the video in question. I’d think it was most ridiculous of all if we had a national press that was so fucking juvenile that they actually made complete nonevents like this into “controversies”; I’d think it was even more ridiculous if we as a public were stupid enough to give any weight to the line of vapid horse shit the high-school-sophomore media feeds us in lieu of issues-based campaign coverage. Which I guess means I think it’s ridiculous. Have fun with that #47 education system.
