Well folks looks like the national campaign has already begun
Talking to my folks this weekend (they really do know better) politics came up.

There apparently is no Republican race only the Democrats and they proceeded to ask me about each candidate and "stories" that they had "heard" that I had no idea about. I actually had to stop them at one point just to figure out how or what they could have possibly heard that got to THAT story. Seriously I spent half the time with my mouth open with no clue as to where they got these "stories" from.

So this is the national campaign. Attack all of the Dems and therefore weaken anyone who comes out of the pack. Well at least make it seem like they are weakened so when the votes suddenly roll over they have a ready made excuse in place.

Why did Obama talk to those high school kids about his doing drugs?
Hillary's staying with Bill should serious lack of decision making
"Wishy washy" is the worst thing anyone can be
Edwards.... no mention of him he has successfully been ignored
Kucinich-strange odd guy
Hillary is well ... you know ;-)

and so on

They are just going to pile it on. Of course these two are the choir as far as Fox News is concerned but that is where they bleed it through to get out in emails and such.

1. Problem is, most of these "stories" are coming from other Dem candidates
Primary season has become such a mud-fest over the last few elections, the one and only thing I get out of it any more is a long list of reasons why NONE of the candidates should be allowed to roam free, much less be elected president.

2. I 've conclued that American's prefer politics to be like mud wrestling...
Most Americans will not be happy until Hillary rips Giuliani's thong off on national TV.

The idea foisted on us by every talking head that Americans prefer clean substantive elections is moldy tripe, at least from my obseration.

They dirtier it gets, the more we like it.

Now what does that say about Americans?
