SNL 05-10-08
I missed most of Saturday Night Light last night, including the opening. In the event that you also missed it, here it is (courtesy of MightyRoaringLion)…
There is probably a lesson here for Senator Hillary Clinton… You can’t take anything for granted, including SNL.
Mrs. Clinton will, without doubt, win the Democratic primaries in West Virginia and Kentucky. Those are her states. Look, if you will, at the demographics…
West Virginia:
Population, 2006 estimate: 1,818,470 (about the size of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex)
White persons, percent, 2006: 94.9%
Bachelor’s degree or higher, pct of persons age 25+, 2000: 14.8%
Kentucky
Population, 2006 estimate: 4,206,074
White persons, percent, 2006: 90.2%
Bachelor’s degree or higher, pct of persons age 25+, 2000: 17.1%
Face it, there is no possible way Barack Obama is going to have a good showing in either of those states, and no way in Hell that the Democratic nominee (whoever it may be) is going win either of them in November.
If Mrs. Clinton’s plan is to convince the superdelegates that she would be the best nominee based on the results of the West Virginia and Kentucky primaries, best of luck to her. If any of the superdelegates fall for it, best of luck to us.

Man! Amy Poheler must have more than one person writing her HRC character. Or maybe Tina Fey helped out with the earlier sketches but now they’re using in-house writers again. What a 180 . . .
