'Party Like a Barack Star'


You can see it in their flushed-face smiles and hear it in their screams. They say the phenomenon is difficult to describe, but once they experience it they tell their friends, sisters, mothers and daughters, and they come back for more if they can.
"He's very charismatic. It was a 'you-had-to-be-there' kind of experience," said Lolita Breckenridge, 37, after hearing Democratic White House hopeful Barack Obama address a packed rally at the University of Maryland on Monday.

Obamalama's star is rising, the wave is cresting and ...HRH Hillary cannot find her "happy place". Yeah, the Republicans have their problems with olde crash and burn McCain, but the drama on the left is too juicy to ignore.

The wife of America's First Black President is struggling to stop the momentum of, well, what would actually be America's First Black President. Too rich!

Mrs. Clinton is losing this thing. It's not one big primary, it's a rolling loss, a daily one, an inch-by-inch deflation. The trends and indices are not in her favor. She is having trouble raising big money, she's funding her campaign with her own wealth, her moral standing within her own party and among her own followers has been dragged down, and the legacy of Clintonism tarnished by what Bill Clinton did in South Carolina. Unfavorable primaries lie ahead. She doesn't have the excitement, the great whoosh of feeling that accompanies a winning campaign. The guy from Chicago who was unknown a year ago continues to gain purchase, to move forward. For a soft little innocent, he's played a tough and knowing inside/outside game.

HRH Hillary wants a job she views as rightfully hers but the Democratic voters...they just want to 'Party Like a Barack Star'.
