...Hilary must be terribly frustrated. Not only is she the first woman running for president but there happens to be the first Black running as well and at the same time. Republicans have never been weaker and yet....There doesn't seem to be any chance of Hillary beating Obama in regular delegates...but she's hardly the type to call it quits now. But all that she can do is attack Obama...thus weakening him and herself both, no matter which of them gets the nod. She's doing McCain's work for him.

...If she counts on political tricks at the convention to swing superdelegates her way it makes the whole process odious and smacks of the Supreme Court's handing the election to Bush...even though the people chose Gore. It hardly looks good for the Dems to be seen this way...but anyone who knows Hillary says she won't stop till the bitter end.

...Plus which in this election record numbers of young people of a slight Liberal bent have come out to vote. And chances are they've voted for Obama far more than Hillary...if they see Obama cheated by his own party hacks they may lose interest and not vote in the general election...and they could be the ones the Dems need most of all to trounce McCain. Of the two Dems it seems Obama has the best chance of getting the most number of Dems to actually vote in November and if he can do that he'll easily beat McCain.

...As for the repubs, McCain will be 72 if and when he takes office...the oldest white man geezer president yet...and he already sounds like Bush rehash. He needs all the help he can get and Hillary on her own may not be enough. McCain isn't too popular with born-again fuck-head Christian conservative Evangelicals....so it would make sense for him to choose someone who is popular with them as his running mate...like maybe Huckabee. That might look good on paper...a shrewd move to bring in the far fringes of his party but wait; McCain had a serious case of melanoma some years back...what if it comes back...it's deadly enough....and what if his vice-president has to step in for him? Could the end result of all of this be that a conservative Caveman Christian, who nobody voted for, becomes president?

In this election of all elections, the choice of vice-president for the Repubs is crucial....political thinking calls for an arch conservative...but that will scare everybody else.

...it's like voting for Dadeeshoo but getting Maggie instead.
