People are getting all excited about the protracted Democratic Primary and the friction that has developed between the candidates. Most of the hoopla is coming from the right-wing press. Apparently, all of a sudden, a party primary is suppose to be a hand-holding, "Oh, let's be nice," affair. Well, I couldn't be happier about the developments. The right-wingers are making a grievous error, as is anyone who thinks this is bad for the Democratic party. It will do nothing but help. They'll spit out everything about one another before the Republicans get a chance, more clearly and distinctly formulate their opinions, and they'll stay in the news. It won't hurt if it goes all the way to the convention floor. That would make for a real thriller, and probably be more popular than "American Idol." McCain was a quick and poor choice for the Republicans. The right-wing press will be able to help him for a while, but that clamor will wear thin, real quick. McCain will end up being seen as an old, bitter, right-wing, BushWorld Republican who can only offer us more of the same. Both Clinton or Obama will beat him by at least one million votes and easily win the election, assuming the Republicans do not steal their 3rd election in a row. The going will get tough if that happens again.

Don't underestimate the power of the Republican Slime Machine.
They are extremely good at slimming. Anyone who can make a chump out of a war hero (Kerry) is definitely good at what they do. They will leave no slim unturned. But a primary battle is to Clinton's and Obama's favor. They're already slimming one another. They'll be much better prepared than Kerry or Gore were. McCain will self-destruct. You can see it in his eyes. Under pressure, he'll fold.
If we just keep getting the word out, hopefully Americans will 'get it'.
