So where are we know? I think we have a horse race, but it's one of those horse races on a muddy track with crap flying everywhere and it's hardly as much fun as you might think.  Everyone loves a comeback. John McCain did it.  Why shouldn't we root for Hillary to do the same? I certainly did during last week's election cycle.

 

So she goes young (appeared on John Stewart and SNL) and she goes negative (Obama apparently sleeps through ringing phones at night like I do) and Obama slips (someone on his team caught speaking out of two sides of their mouth on Nafta) and she pulls out a win. Sort of reminds me of that American Idol site that encourages people to vote for the worst performers each week...remember when Sanjaya's stay was extended well beyond his talent. So why are we voting for Hillary? Are others like me that they like the drama of it all? They don't want the battle to be over?

 

So we have a horse race. But committed delegates alone won't do it. Florida and Michigan are rattling the cage. Barack and Hillary are spending money to beat each other up while McCain is raising money. Florida and Michigan want someone to pay for a new primary, but theoretically that money would have to come out of some Democratic hide that would otherwise be used for bashing republicans.

 

The Super Delegates who haven't committed aren't quite sure what to do. They could cast a vote that reflects the popular vote, or the primary vote (because caucuses under represent), or the person who is the strongest against McCain, or the person who can deliver the battle ground states. Or maybe employ some voodoo math before casting their vote.

 

This is anything but boring. If it weren't so damned important I might be enjoying every minute.
