Fidel has been waiting for the word for years. When Hillary was the inevitable candidate she had planned on visiting Cuba in her first year of the presidency and repair relations. But now that her campaign is on life support she needed to have Fidel create as big a news storm as possible. So he resigned.
But why now? Why did Hillary need Fidel to resign?
Quite simply, to obscure the most important and coveted endorsement for president of any party. The endorsement that Barack Obama got today.
- note. This post is true from here on in*
I am speaking of course of the Ben and Jerry endorsement.
Yes, the ice cream purveyors have announced they will not just endorse Obama but campaign for him in their home state of Vermont. The Vermont primary is on March 4th. Ben and Jerry unleashed a fleet of "ObamaModibles" where they will spread the word to voters and give out scoops of "Cherries for Change" flavored ice cream.
Is there any question who the inevitable candidate is now?
I wonder what huckabee ice cream would taste like.
Oh ya, the only shocking thing about it was that they didn't endorse Gravel (who is still in the race incidentally).
There are some major questions of Hillary's electability. Polls show her losing in a race against John McCain in Florida, Oregon, Minnesota, Wisconsin. Those last three are pretty solid blue states. She is such a liability. Obama, on the other hand, beats McCain like a vietcong in those races with the exception of Florida.
NEWSFLASH - hippie New Englander ice cream outfit endorses liberal.
I'm only teasing =D but still though, if the ice cream guys can't support Hillary then who can?
