Ryan Evans

National:
On Tuesday April 22nd, Hillary Clinton won the Pennsylvania primary. She defeated Sen. Barack Obama by a reasonably close margin of about two-hundred thousand votes. She took fifty-five percent of the Democratic voters. However, this big victory will not guarantee her the Democratic nomination for the presidency. This will give her the possible, necessary momentum going into the Democratic National Convention in a few months.

Opinion:
This Clinton victory seems to foreshadow more doubt on the Obama camp. He has won consistently in the South and in his home state of Illinois, but Sen. Clinton has taken the bigger prizes of New York, her home state, California, and Texas. These are just to name a few of her victories. The national convention will be quite chaotic and should really go down to the wire.

National:
This past Monday on WWE ‘Raw’ all three of the presidential frontrunners appeared on the show. Hillary told the audience that, “You could call me Hill-Rod.” Barack Obama asked the question of “Can you smell what the Barack is cooking?” John McCain also asked everyone what they were going to do when all of the “McCaniacs” run wild. I am sure this was to rally support from a certain demographic. The wrestling demographic. This is strange indeed.

Opinion:
Wow this was really ridiculous. I can’t believe that all three prospective presidents went on WWE wrestling. I think the presidency should carry a certain degree of respect and class. I feel wrestling does not carry these forms of class with it at all. The people that take it seriously all seem to be idiots. Wait, maybe they needed to see who was running so they could take part in Democracy. I would prefer if these people did not vote actually. Yeah….
