Waiting on line at Connecticut Muffin I overheard a conversation between two people about how hard, if not impossible, John McCain is to beat. “He’s unbeatable,” the man said as he took his coffee from the barista.

An early email from a friend announced that the only county in New York State that carried Obama was Tompkins County, which includes Ithaca.

“What about Brooklyn?” came a swift reply-all. I don’t think that was the case with Kings County though Park Slope and Crown Heights were Obama’s.

I conversed with a friend who voted for Obama, who told me that he has huge reservations about Obama’s health care policy. He believes that Clinton’s plan, which is mandated for all unlike Obama’s, is far superior. That worries him. But he voted for Obama anyway.

Another friend said he found Obama’s speech on Tuesday night uninspiring.

Others contemplated the idea that the fight would go all the way to the convention for the first time in so many years. All day people mentioned super delegates.

Two words of the day: Super Delegates.

“Many people I encountered in Park Slope said that they feel comfortable with both Democratic candidates. While Brooklyn Beat voted for Hillary Clinton he wrote on his blog, Deep in the Heart of Brooklyn,

“I am totally prepared to vote for Mr. Obama should he be the eventual Democratic candidate, whether he runs again Messrs. McCain, Huckabee, or Bloomberg. The Democratic Party needs to be returned to the White House. We cannot stand even one more term of the Republican Party, regardless of who that candidate is. They have made a muck of it and must pay the price.”

At a cocktail party I attended last night, someone fantasized that neither Clinton or Obama would be nominated and Al Gore would emerge at the convention as the democratic candidate.

Interesting.
