I have no problems with any of the Democratic frontrunners winning the
nomination. I've always liked Mrs. Clinton, I think Obama is aces, and I
think Edwards' heart is in precisely the right place.


I noticed something this morning that surprised me. I realize that
politicians are .... well, politicians, but this was still surprising and it
makes me wonder what is really going on:

Yesterday I watched Biden and Dodd being interviewed. Both recognized and
acknowledged their respective slim chances in Iowa, but hoped for the best.
Dodd in particular indicated that beyond Iowa he expected support for him to
surge later in the primary season and was confident of his chances.

After the first "contest" both folded and went home. What gives?

Nobody gives. Gives money to either one. They couldn't put together a
national organization. Both have been in the Senate too long and people
know where the both stand and they are not national candidate material.

Obama, Clinton and Edwards have absolutely noting in their Senate
records, they haven't actually done anything except show up for some
votes. No track record means they can say what they want and people will
believe them.
