Obama's close encounter of the third kind with the working class.
Hillary, now (after North Carolina,) I can beat you even with one hand behind my back!
Obama shows what he was doing all those times he wasn't in church listening to Rev. Wright
This is the only way that white, red, brown, and black will all be at the same table with Obama.
Running the table at pool, running the table with super delegates.
You should see me play dominos!
Rack em up boys! I've got this nomination racked up. I just got to sink the white ball in the corner pocket and it's mine.
"First I hustled the American people, now I'll hustle the pool hall"
This nomination is not quite "in the hole" for the Senator
Forget bowling, here's my "common man" sport...But whats with the bar only carrying old fashioned beer and whiskey? Why must pool halls be caves? Hey barkeep, How about carrying a little Calvados, or at least Grey Goose, for this "everyman?"
First it was bowling and now shooting pool and soon it's on to Oregon for the Lumberjack competition!!
A Little R & R Before The Demographic Conflation
"Hillary Clinton in the corner pocket, for the win"!!
I thought that I could beat her standing on one foot with one hand tied behind my back "WOW" was I surprised! She just refuses to quit.
Maybe "Minnessota Fats" is easier to beat than than the "Arkansas Kid"
"Hmm the white ball heading towards the left-corner is me and the other losing ones: burgundy stripe is Hillary and the yellow one is Mc Cain.: so if I hit that other ball it will bounce back and hit them both and goaaal...It ain't soccer, but it is the political strategy what I have in mind for the next state"
i've got just enough balls left to win this game!
Barack Obama subtly telling Hillary it's her "cue" to drop out of the race.
DARN! Just when I had an itching to be a presidential candidate, I SCRATCHED!
The Candidates New Game
I May not shoot like Fats Domino. But I can sink Hillary with my hands behind my back. 2 banks to the side pocket and off to the Whitehouse
Seven down. Three more to go. Boy, those Clintons are tough!
Rack 'em up any way you see fit I've got this no matter how much English or SPIN you put on it!
I gotcha back
If he sinks that shot I'll be sure he's an elitist...
This'll be easy . . . everything else I do is behind my back.
This shot people is called THE END GAME.
Pool Pull
No matter how many shots I make Hillary just drinks them up with a chaser too!
So do you think I am turned far enough, so people don't notice the chip on my left shoulder.
Just remember, in this game the white one can only assist...it's the black one that wins it!
I dthoughtk that The COLORof Money meant that Hilarywas trying to playnthye TO PLAY the race card again...........but this hitting small balls with a cue stick is a lot easier than bowling!!!!
The only change I know how to make is putting this stick behind my back ! But I can fake it good !
Hey, with the Smiley-Face on it this reminds me of McCain!
This is much easier than bawlling in PA.....don't you think??
If only the delegates were as easy as getting the object ball...

Well, I'll be danged. That white ball is sure slippery.
Political Pool Rules Of The Game: There are none!
Nomination, corner pocket
This is a move I saw on "Dancing with the Stars". The only thing is their dance partners are skinnier than mine.... oh well.... 5 6 7 8!!!

I still don't think it's fair that the white ball carries more weight than the black vote, I mean ball.
Bad, bad, O-ba-ma, baddest politician in the whole darn town
In this picture:

Not Pictured:
8 ball, Hillary Clinton (behind 8 ball)
Breaking news...Barack beats Hillary in West Virginia while shooting pool at Schiltzie's Bar.
So in Pennsylvania he went bowling,
In West Virginia he plays billiards.
I can wait to see him in Oregon playing hacky-sack.
Minnesota Fats? No, it's West Virginia Slims!
Tucson, AZ
"I don't need no stinking bowling. I've got pool and that starts with "p" which ryhmes with "t" and you've got trouble right here if you mess with me."
Charlotte D, Stockton CA (who just dated herself by trying to be clever with the lyrics of a song from "Music Man")
PS: Is Anderson headed for China? I hope so. NPR is getting great stories from their correspondents.
How do I get rid of the oddballs?
And if you think thats something, wait until you see him beat off a room of ninja's with that pool-cue.
"Bet you didn't know, I can take more than political shots from behind" Ahhh Obama Straight Shooter Express
