The Dem’s need to step back and take a breath. Another month or two of tearing each other apart will put both Obama and Hillary at a disadvantage come general election time. McCain is now free to attack both – while they’re concentrating on each other. Inconceivably, we run the risk of seeing another Republican in the White House next year, despite the best efforts of the current one to put that idea to bed. For me, the solution is simple. The mysterious superdelegates need to coalesce around Obama; he’s the voice of change, embodying our hope of better governance – and he’s the one that can beat McCain. In an experience-off, American’s will take the hard nosed Vietnam Vet over the former First Lady everyday of the week. For Dawkin’s sake, someone (I’m looking at you Howard Dean) throw in the towel for her before it’s too late.

The Race Grinds On
Goddam Hillary. Like a punch drunk heavy-weight, she just doesn’t seem to know when to stay down. In the wash-up of yesterday’s voting in Ohio , Texas , Vermont and Rhode Island (America ’s Tasmania – we’d both cut them free to drift away if we could), two things are clear: 1. Obama failed to land a knockout blow and 2. Hillary was unable to make much of a dent on the points deficit that has her definitively in 2nd place. There are plenty of measures of who’s in front or behind, who has momentum and who is dead in the water – but it is delegate count that will be the ultimate determinant come August.

G'day Pres.,
I jus watched Obama's 40 minute long speech about racism on YouTube. The video is the most watched ever in YouTube's history. Am looking forward to a blog about the speech. Am not going to influence your thoughts with my opinions....so I'll leave it at that.
From Australia's First President's brother-in-law O/S.
