Welcome to Casting the Net this Thursday afternoon. The big news of the last day is of course Democrats seemingly working out who they want to be their presidential candidate. Most of us knew how this would end months ago, but it’s all over now and the vast majority of liberal bloggers around the web are celebrating.

Luke’s Blog – Not everyone is happy about Obama’s victory, Luke sheds a tear for the Clintons and laments on the loss of a “golden age.”
Harry’s Place – So if Clinton was the first black president, And Obama the first Jewish one, does that make Bush the first genius president?
Quaequam Blog – More backlash against the new Lib Dem road pricing proposals, could Nick Clegg have misjudged his levels of support this time?
Cicero’s Songs – The Ukraine has the potential to be the new Poland for our own economic benefit, but it’ll never win us the Eurovision Song Contest.
