acroyear...when the news organizations are the ones inventing the news to the point they can't even keep their stories straight.
- AP "calls" it for Obama as of today's delegate allocation, acting on the assumption that he'll be getting most of the uncommitted delegates (those appointed for other candidates from primaries earlier in the race that have since dropped out) as well as enough super-delegates
- AP says Hillary's camp has made motions to concede
- Reuters reports that Hillary's camp insists she is NOT going to concede
- Even since that report, AP continues to report only their version of the story
- vast majority of the public are so sick of this they really don't give a shit anymore
- neither news organization is making any mention of the fact from the previous line

Date: 2008-06-03 08:01 pm (UTC)* vast majority of public is too damn apathetic to have given a shit in the first place
* handful of those who did give shit gave it, and now are so sick of it all they don't want to give it again
* the rest are Republicans

Date: 2008-06-03 08:15 pm (UTC)I want to vote now and get it out of the way. I want to skip all the intervening crap because there is nothing, abso-fricking-lutely nothing, that could get me to vote for McCain. Obama could come out and say he was a space alien and I'd still vote for him over McCain.
I really just want this to be over. I'm sick of it.
