In his speech this morning on the economy, Senator Obama didn't mention Clinton ONCE. He spoke considerably about McCain, but nothing about the Democratic nomination "battle". A post on Huffington advised him to just move past her, like she's irrelevant already, and I think that is precisely what he needs to do, and is possibly doing already. The idea that she can still catch him in the delegate race is, to use the Clinton vernacular, a fairytale.
Honestly, it's getting kind of stupid for her to keep this going so long just to see if she can run over and put her foot on him and proclaim "victory" if, and only if, he stumbles. It's clearly ripping the heart right out of the Democratic party, and the Republicans are salivating at every turn.
Still, in his speech this morning, he laid out a comprehensive economic plan, which I thought either proved that he has a thorough understanding of economics (he does), and/or he has surrounded himself with some extremely smart people (he has).
Either way, this speech proved that he has more to offer than just pretty speeches. The substance over style battle is OVER.

From MSNBC Politics and BarackObama.com, here is the transcript.

Well, before today, my conspiracy theory was that Hillary was trying sabotage Obama for November so that McCain would win and she'd have a shot in 2012... But things were a bit more subdued today and both Dems went after McCain a bit more. We'll see if this trend continues. Hopefully it will.
Haven't watched the speech yet. Busy day today. Perhaps I will have more to say after I've watched it.
