The Race IS Over...

Why you ask? Because Superchunk endorsed Senator Obama. Since the indie rock legends from Chapel Hill have spoken, there is little any one else could say.

To celebrate this endorsement, and this glorious day in the Northeast, here is the video for "Hyper Enough."



Who will Dinosaur Jr. endorse? Buffalo Tom? The cast from My So Called Life?

On a more serious note, Obama's deals with the DNC over a joint fundraising plan and a nationwide voter registration effort adds more speculation about the democratic race.

Also, Politico, as others before them, reports that the Pennsylvania victory for Clinton did nothing for Super Delegates. Clinton has three problems: (1) she will unite Republicans against her; (2) to take the nomination away would alienate the base; and, (3) with the loss of the African-American base, the Dems would suffer great defeats in Congress. If Clinton is to be the nominee, Senator Obama will need to drop out because of a major problem. If Obama wins both Indiana and North Carolina, then the Supers will line up.

I've been wondering when Sarah Slean will go public with her endorsement. And what about you, Hooverphonic? How long must we wait?
