Barack Wins A Grammy!

February 11, 2008

Are you sure? Yep! In addition to totally wiping the slate clean with FIVE (count them) states in his win column and a clear lead over Hillary in the committed delegate count, Obama wins a Grammy. A Grammy for Pete’s sake. Is this guy on a roll or what?

The Grammy Awards were Sunday and the presidential candidate beat both former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter to win best spoken word album for his audio version of his book “The Audacity Of Hope: Thoughts On Reclaiming The American Dream.” Clinton was nominated for his book “Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World” and Carter for “Sunday Mornings in Plains: Bringing Peace to a Changing World.” Also nominated was Maya Angelou and Alan Alda.

As Obama and Hillary battle for the Democratic nomination for president; both have won key states, though Obama has the most recent wins, capturing the Louisiana primary and caucuses in Nebraska and Washington state on Saturday. Obama now clearly leads in the pledged delegates though he is behind in the total (including the super delegates)

Though Clinton and Carter lost, they both have won the category before (Clinton, twice). And Hillary Rodham Clinton took home a Grammy in 1996 for her audio version of the book, “It Takes A Village.”

But come on, enough already for this Barack-Star!

Hillary is back to raising some serious money now that things look more than serious. There’s no doubt that there will be more than ONE BILLION spent on this presidential election cycle. And if Michael Bloomberg jumps in, a LOT more.
