With voting already underway in New Hampshire (seriously, why does New Hampshire get to lead the country? How in the hell does someone in NH know what the hell, say, the Western States need?) everything is coming up roses for Obama.

New polls this morning are showing a decisive Obama victory by the end of the day (I hope, I hope) and the Clinton Campaign is showing all the signs of fracture and panic. My sad and tragic favorite, via Misty at Saintless, is Clinton’s assertion that the years of work by MLK, Jr. were noting more than events coincidentally taking place while LBJ was looking for a pen to write and then sign the Civil Rights Act, or something like that.

CLINTON: “Dr. King’s dream began to be realized when President Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act. It took a president to get it done. The power of that dream became real in people’s lives because we had a president capable of action.”

We had a brave president, yes. He knew how signing that bill would damage his Party for decades to come. He did the right thing after years of Presidents doing the wrong thing … like, for instance, maintaining the status quo. Johnson, however, had the easyest role. It was the years of marching, changing minds, public demonstrations, lynchings, murders, beating and every other nearly insufferable indignity thought up by the racists to throw onto the shoulders of those Civil Rights Leaders to put Johnson in a position to sign that bill.

A bill, by the way, that had America elected stronger leaders in the past, would not have been as necessary. Maintenance of the Status Quo is a job for a curator, not a President (or a member of the House of Senate, for that matter).

In addition to her stealing the history of the Civil Rights movement for whitey:

CLINTON: “We don’t need to be raising the false hopes of our country about what can be delivered.”

Sorry, Senator, but I think you just said that when you talk about change, you’re offering false hope. Did you mean to say that? Cause, that’s bad. You may not be able to deliver at the end of the day, but at least other candidates are talking about how they’re going to fight in the attempt and not cave or quit because it’s too hard.

On a more personal level, it’s fun to watch how much, sometimes, supporters of a candidate behave just like the candidate. Clinton, after losing Iowa, and thus the story line of “presumptive candidate” has begun lashing out and acting all angry. It reminds me of someone …. a few of you will guess who …
