As y'all know, I have yet to declare my preference for one of the Democratic candidates running for President. I think any of the three left - Clinton, Edwards, and Obama - will defeat any nominee that the GOP puts up. But it will not be without a fight. And it will be a knock-down drag out brawl worthy of city politics in New York, Chicago, or hell, even New Orleans.
We all know what they're gonna say about Clinton. We will re-fight all the bullshit put out there about them back in the 1990's.
They'll call Edwards a commie, a socialist, perhaps even resurrect the angry meme they used against Howard Dean.
But Obama ... oh, the darkest aspects of our society will be on display for all to see. And whomever the GOP nominee is, I hope and pray that he'll have the decency not to engage in it, as I fear that asking him to denounce it would much too much to ask.
"Obama is holding his own against both of [the Clintons]- doing more than his share of the 'spade' work. Maybe even gaining ground at the moment. Using not only the spade ladies and gentleman- that when he finishes with the 'spade' in the garden of corruption planted by the Clinton's, he turns to the 'hoe.' And so the spade work and his expertise using a hoe."

"He is often lazy, given to misstatements and exaggerations and, when he doesn't know the answer, too ready to try to bluff his way through."
-- Karl Rove, describing Sen. Obama.
