Hillary claws back, Huckabee bows out
Well, I have to give it to her. Hillary isn’t going out with out a fight. She won Ohio and Texas, which would have clinched the democratic nomination for Obama had he won.
Meanwhile, McCain sailed through easily. And Huckabee dropped out. No surprise there.
So, here we have it. 
Hillary and Obama will continue to trade barbs while McCain is free and clear to concentrate on the task at hand. I’m no political analyst here, but I can’t help but wonder if this will hurt the democratic party overall. With no clear frontrunner, people are still torn between one candidate and the other. If they get frustrated enough with Obama and Clinton’s propensity to fight like little school girls, they may just jump the track and hop on the McCain train. Because right now he’s going full speed ahead.
I will say this though, I’ve never been all that into politics. But this year’s Presidential race is unlike any other. I feel as though there is so much at stake. Whomever takes the reigns over from Bush is going to have a lot on his or her plate. Bush dug us so deep into a hole of economic sludge that it’s going to take more than Hillary’s claws, Obama’s charisma or McCain’s military savvy to get us out.
I know I seem hard on Hillary sometimes. I’ll admit it, she’s not my favorite person in the world. But I watched Saturday Night Live on Saturday and saw the opening sketch. It was hilarious. And when the shot cut to her live, I was impressed. She actually made me laugh. Whether she was playing to a certain demographic or not, I think it takes a lot of guts to do that. She won me over just a tid bit.
Before I let you bloggity bloggin’ readers outta here, I have to apologize for my absence yesterday. I was still recovering from being sick. But I’m back and feeling much better. So I can promise you some friendly and witty banter over the next couple of posts.
Until tomorrow …

Hmmm - would you refer to Barrack or McCain as having “claws”?

No, I probably wouldn’t. And, in my estimation, Hillary sure has some pretty mean claws. Whether they are used for good or evil is entirely up to her.
