Obama may look new, but he has nothing to back it up. Oddly, neither
does Hillary - you would have thought that she would have spent more
time developing cogent and complete arguments for her proposals and
policies, but she spent the time contemplating how she was going to
run and the sense that she was the inevitable choice.

Both of them have squandered their opportunities.

I also think the American electorate is sick and tired of politics and
they are going to be even more sick and tired by the time November
comes around - it's just going to be noise in the background.

Which does not make me hopeful that we're going to make a wise choice
for President if this is the best we can do on either side.


Unfortunately, some of the better choices on both sides have already caved
in and withdrawn.

All political candidates are just people and therefore they all have
flaws. I don't care whether Hillary or Obama wins. Either will do a much
better job than has been done the last seven years. Bush is a disaster.

I can see why Republicans are so unhappy with their choices. There's
just nothing there. It's hard to imagine GOP voters being so
enthusiastic about any of them that they'll show up in great numbers and
attract the number of Indys it will take to win.

On the Democratic side, I think the tide is flowing in Obama's
direction, and I think the national tide is flowing that way, too.

Don't hold your breath on that one.
