One thing to point out on this that may potentially benifit the Dems. The fact that Clinton and Obama have been so cutthroat with eachother over the past few months may actually work to the party's benifit. No one likes old news and since the Clinton campaign did such a wonderful job of trying to assasinate Obama's reputation there should not be alot of "new" material for the McCain group to work with where as McCain has largly flown under the radar for the past 6 or 8 months while the catfight has been going on should provide plenty of mud for slinging
As for a VP I really belive that Clinton doesnt have a chance though she may have the leverage to pull it off as she refuses to relice her delagates, the "fair and ballanced" news network (LOL) belives that it will be the Traditional choice of a governor (more than likely OH or PA)
In any case I am really not impressed with anyone running right now but Obama seems to be the "less than traditional" choice and might... just might be able to get something... anything.. please! accomplished

That's a very good point. I've been really curious to see how this whole McCain problem is going to come out as the fight transitions across party lines for the first time. You're absolutely right - he's been hidden under all the Obama/Clinton nonsense, which is a mixed blessing. It's partly good because nobody remembers that he exists - and it's partly bad because nobody knows what a colossal fuckwit he is.
I'm hoping the combined might of the Democratic party, in their fury over these last farcical eight years, will make McCain's doublespeak and absurdity so hopelessly transparent the whole way to November. And I'm DESPERATELY hoping that Obama has something to show for his beautiful rhetoric. I'd feel really stupid if he turned out to be the Dems' version of Bush - all image and no substance.
