Like him or not, McCain certainly has time to "watch the films" before the big game. The Democrats, on the other hand, are like death match mud wrestlers; they won't even have time to shower. Who knows? Their party might even self-annihilate as their candidate emerges from the Denver ashes.

And now the shoe is on the other...hoof!

Hillary will not give up, no matter what. She will carry this to the bitter end.

People are suggesting that PA or IN will tell the tale and that she will then step aside for the “Good of the Party” throw her support to Obama and accept the inevitable like a good soldier.

I suggest that this is in error, and that knackering Obama… deluxe, royal, and a la mode, will be in her best interest.

In her mind, SHE IS PRESIDENTIAL. Obama is an upstart. He must be destroyed for his impudence.

Here’s how the destruction will occur:

She will NOT bow out, nor surrender, nor gracefully do anything of the sort. She will carry the rancorous, bitter fight to the convention and use ’scorched-earth’ rhetoric until the last partisan is dead.

Why?

If he tanks in the general as Mondale did, she will be PERFECTLY situated to come back in 4 years with her “I TOLD YOU SO” campaign, and… (God help me), try again.

Bill’s down with this, so desperate is he for the bully pulpit of the White House, just to have a shot at changing his “Lewinsky Presidue” legacy to something less (ahem) seminal. It’s his last hope to lose “Slick Willy the Cigar President” as the epitaph he will be buried under.

Already happening…

Watch for rampant feminist dissection of the “Misogynistic campaign of ‘08″ as prelude. Already they’re ramping up the “womyn hater” rhetoric, and competely ignoring the fact that America DOES NOT ‘hate’ women! We don’t hate women in general, women in business or women in politics.

A majority of the electorate just doesn’t like Hillary Clinton. She’s the “head cheese” on the cold cut tray of Presidential politics.

Me? I don’t like her for herself and never have. I despise Bill Clinton as a crapulent, dirty little boy, and I’m really starting to not like Chelsea.

Harvey's Newsish Fakeries are both funnier and more accurate than AP stories.

MSM all the news that's fit to .......Yawn, snoooooooooozzzzzzzzzzeeeeeeeee.

Although a brokered convention might have been better than having gotten stuck with McCain.

Dubya is actually sitting pretty right now. With his approval ratings apparently so low, and this his final term in office, there's no pressure to campaign or to endorse a candidate. Unless he'd like to help out the Reps by endorsing a Democrat, that is.

All he has to do the rest of this year is push through his stimulus package or whatever else he wants, biding his time until January when he and Laura can retire in style to the Crawford ranch.
