Obama starts the process of party unification in his speech. Hillary makes similar comments, though she took some shots as well.
We’ll see what happens after we get the final numbers in Indiana.

About 25% of the voting is early voting, and polls suggest these voters went big for Obama.
As everyone knows, North Carolina is critical. Obama is supposed to win there, and Hillary’s only real chance is to beat Obama in a state where he is expected to win. She needs to change the dynamic of the race. Obama, on the other hands, wins with a split between Indiana and North Carolina.
If Obama takes care of business in North Carolina, expect to see a significant number of superdelegates annoucing their support for Obama.
I think Hillary miscalculated with the gas tax holiday. Sure, many voters will like this, but I suspect many independents will not. Also, she alienated many members of Congress who oppose this issue and were not happy when she threatened to bring this to a vote. Her “with us or against” us rhetoric rubbed some officials the wrong way. I suspect that if Obama wins North Carolina, Hillary’s pandering on the gas tax will give superdelegates another reason to come out against her.
Both the Senate race and the presidential race are closer than one might expect.
Michael Bloomberg chimes in on the latest pander from Clinton and McCain.
Tom Friedman is even tougher on these lame politicians.
It is great to see that we finally have some national unity on energy policy. Unfortunately, the unifying idea is so ridiculous, so unworthy of the people aspiring to lead our nation, it takes your breath away. Hillary Clinton has decided to line up with John McCain in pushing to suspend the federal excise tax on gasoline, 18.4 cents a gallon, for this summer’s travel season. This is not an energy policy. This is money laundering: we borrow money from China and ship it to Saudi Arabia and take a little cut for ourselves as it goes through our gas tanks. What a way to build our country.
When the summer is over, we will have increased our debt to China, increased our transfer of wealth to Saudi Arabia and increased our contribution to global warming for our kids to inherit.
Barack Obama will spend more on education, but he stresses that none of this will matter if parents don’t do their job of parenting.
Far left liberals do not speak about personal responsibility like this. Those who want to paint him as an extreme liberal will be very disapppointed.
