It's... interesting watching what's going on between Obama and Hillary. Accusations of racism, Ferraro coming out and saying Obama wouldn't be where he is if he weren't black, Hillary offering Obama the #2 spot - Obama refusing because if he's not good enough to be #1, why would she want him as #2? The Spitzer scandal... Hillary trying to get Florida and Michigan's elections to count again... things are getting real interesting on the Dem side of the spectrum. I do believe that the Obama and Hillary show will be getting even uglier in the next few weeks - there's a strong undercurrent of 'entitlement' there for Hillary, and I don't believe she's going to let go without a real fight.
Of course in order to do that, she's going to have to get the media involved as her proxy weapons involve trashing Obama, but they don't seem as sympathetic as in years past. I believe that at least SOME of them are starting to understand that the existance of this country does depend on having competent leadership in the White House, and having someone with a royalty complex in the Hot Seat may very well end up with them being forcibly silenced. And for all the griping about how Bush stifles free speech rights, they ain't seen nothin' yet - and will likely get an up-close and personal look at that if Hil gets into power.
On the Republican side... well, things are pretty set on McCain at this point. Well, it could be worse - Ron Paul only recently gave up his run for the Hot Seat.
It'll be interesting to see what happens in the next month or two with the Democrats. After Hil's Mississippi loss, I don't believe she can win without the Superdelegates intervention, and with Spitzer being forced out of office I think she just lost one.
Will she fight to the end? Will she attempt to slam McCain as being unfit to lead? Stay tuned for the next episode of "Stomach Churning Politics"!
