Warts 'N All

On the day when suddenly relevant Wyoming Democrats (oxymoron) head to caucuses I'm going to present a trove of good reading (and viewing) on the state of this 2008 Presidential campaign.

As I and everybody else have noted, it's now ugly season (after a very brief stop in silly season, as Obama once remarked). And everyone's warts are starting to show. This includes the Obama campaign, who suddenly are operating like a JV team.

Certainly, Hillary's folks , who may be winning the battle now, are reminding people of all the things we don't like about the Clintons. Check out Peggy Noonan's op-ed piece. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120485348696518343.html?mod=djemEditorialPage
And even John McCain, without an opponent to zero in on, can only draw attention to himself in unfavorable ways. Check out this video. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/23525639#23522645
and this interesting article from the Politico.com http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0308/8906_Page2.html

Finally, I want to get to back to yesterday's interview with Ex-DNC Chairman Joe Andrews from XM radio's Potus '08, as promised in yesterday's post. He made the startling point that the Democratic Super Delegates have become the new special interest group. Andrews explained that some of these delegates are going to the candidates with "issue blackmail", indicating that a favorable stance on a certain issue will secure a vote. As if the Dems aren't 'special interested' to death already, this is the last thing they need--for the nominating process and for their reputation as the party of special interests.

I'll have results tomorrow from Wyoming and all relevant commentary.

Will this election become the same 'ol same 'ol as it continues, or will things get aspirational again? Talk about this or anything else by clicking on 'comments' below, bypassing the Google sign up then hitting the nickname or anonymous buttons.
