Americans aren't tired, they are tie-r of these seemingly endless Democratic primaries. In fact, people are so burnt-out on Obama vs. Hillary, that it is on the verge of jeopardizing any interest in the national election in November. Just what the Republicans want to hear. I got this incredible news yesterday from a very reliable news outlet: my local barbershop.There were no surprises in Tuesday's primary results. Sen. Hillary Clinton won big in Kentucky, defeating Sen. Barack Obama by 35 percentage points. Obama easily prevailed in Oregon.
Obama also passed a campaign milestone, winning a majority of pledged delegates.
Now only three Democratic primaries remain. Clinton vowed to contest every one of them during her address to jubilant supporters in Louisville on Tuesday evening.
Calling the race for the nomination "close," Clinton said, "This continues to be a tough fight, and I have fought it the only way I know how: with determination, with never giving up and never giving in."
