We All Have a Crush on Obama

Gerry Ferraro thinks Obama's "base is African-Americans"? Noted campaign expert Obama Girl begs to differ. (Me, too, but I have nothing whatsoever to add to the tortured discussion of race vs. sex, so let's stick with Obama Girl for now.)

Anyway: Obama Girl has a new music video out—following on June's viral hit "I Got a Crush on Obama"—and her latest is addressed directly to Hillary Clinton.

Though Obama's gonna win it, you're sorta kinda staying in it
Sometimes in this campaign, you've got a crush on John McCain
Can't you see it's hopeless?
It's become an Obama-nation.

After calling on Hillary to drop out of the race—or at least stop attacking Obama—Obama Girl speculates that it's all just spurned love on Hillary's part:

"I know deep down, you're an Obama Girl ...
We all have a crush on Obama."

Take that, Gerry.
