Pennsylvania Moves Obama One Primary Closer To Nomination
With the Pennsylvania primary finally over, Senator Barack Obama is now one primary closer to winning the Democratic nomination.
Senator Obama has the edge because of votes and delegates he has already won.
The six week Pennsylvania campaign has had the excellent result of bringing Barack Obama six weeks closer to the nomination.
Above you see Mr. Obama with Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana.
Indiana will holding a primary on May 6. North Carolina will vote the same day. Guam votes on May 3.
With this being the schedule, after May 6, Senator Obama will be three contests closer to the nomination.

Welcome To Texas Liberal
Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.
My name is Neil Aquino. Here is my profile.
I can be reached at naa618@att.net.
Additional focuses of the blog are books, art, poetry, personal relationships and, also, sea life and marine mammals.
( The picture above is of the Houston Ship Channel. A narrow channel can lead to a wide sea.)
The signature post of this blog is the Martin Luther King Reading & Reference List. This list is the best of it’s kind on the web.
Another good post is my reciting the words to the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts on Galveston Island, Texas as a ship passes behind.
I live in Houston, Texas and I do sometimes write about political issues in Houston and in Texas.
I also often write about my former hometown of Cincinnati, and about the great beach city of Galveston, Texas.
I define liberalism as a role for government in the economy to help make life more fair, and a broad acceptance of people regardless of who they are.
This is why it says “All People Matter” at the top of the blog.
A blog grows one reader at a time. If you like what you read here, please consider forwarding the link.
Texas Liberal began regular posting on July 25, 2006.
I also blog at the Houston Chronicle as one of eight featured political bloggers, and on Where’s The Outrage? which posts out of North Carolina.
Thanks for reading Texas Liberal.

I like your positive thoughts. We who support Barack needed them. Thank you
Joy—Thanks for the comment. It’s all going to go well.
Repudlickers are so hypocritical. I wonder how many right wingers voted for Hillary not only in Penn but also in Texas and across the country. They are so scared of a Barack Obama nomination that they will do anything to keep him from to the general election. They know their big money teat dries up if BO is elected. No matter how hard they suck, there will be no milk money. By big money teat, I’m talking about big Pharma, Big oil, AIPAC influence, this insane Iraq war and NCLB. Here’s a story befitting Hillary and the Republicans….
The Farmer and the Stork
A FARMER placed nets on his newly-sown plowlands and caught a
number of Cranes, which came to pick up his seed. With them he
trapped a Stork that had fractured his leg in the net and was
earnestly beseeching the Farmer to spare his life. “Pray save
me, Master,” he said, “and let me go free this once. My broken
limb should excite your pity. Besides, I am no Crane, I am a
Stork, a bird of excellent character; and see how I love and
slave for my masters. Look too, at my feathers–
they are not the least like those of a Crane.” The Farmer
laughed aloud and said, “It may be all as you say, I only know
this: I have taken you with these robbers, the Cranes, and you
must die in their company.”
Birds of a feather flock together
One more thing. Look for talk radio to be more balanced under an Obama administration. After all we the people own the airwaves and big money has been servicing themselves since the Fairness doctrine was repealled. I’m not saying that Congress will reinstate the Fairness Doctrine, but look for more progressive shows in the coming years.
