I still say this all an orchestrated, choreographed dance with one notable fly in the ointment. Hillary Clinton was chosen to be the next President,
and for the sake of those who actually care about the election process, she was given an opponent of the McCain caliber to ensure a November victory.
Witness the following facts:
McCain made a slow start. He was in some serious competition with Romney and even Huckleberry. Then Romney, his biggest competition, suddenly bows
out, early in the race, with no real explanation and despite having a very good chance of defeating McCain. Huckleberry just had a serious case of
foot-in-mouth disease.
Hillary's campaign benefited from the REPUBLICAN vote, from crossover voting in TX, OH, and PA specifically, encouraged by almost every leading
Republican talk-radio pundit.
Ron Paul apparently has twenty yard signs for every vote he received, not to mention a dismal turn-out from the sheet-over-the-interstate factor.
Riiiiight. I heard one report from, I believe, NH where the total votes for Paul were reported as zero for a county polling office, despite about
twenty voters who came forward reporting they had voted for him. According to the MSM, he apparently changed his name to 'Other' sometime early in
the race, since that was how he was referred to in the results.
Hillary Clinton seemed to do best in primaries, rather than caucuses. Maybe that's because in caucuses people stand up and declare their vote in
person? She also claimed larger and easier victories in those states which have switched to electronic voting machines.
The slickest politician of our time, the great William Jefferson 'Bill' 'Slick Willy' Clinton, he of the golden tongue, the master
communicator/manipulator, kept sticking his foot in Hillary's mouth. I'm sorry, I cannot believe he is this bad at campaigning on purpose.
So I see Obama as a 'spoiler' and a problem to the PWB, since McCain was apparently specifically chosen to be easy to beat. McCain won't win,
unless the game can be somehow reversed to make him look good. So far, despite what I see as attempts to do so (anti-Obama propaganda), it doesn't
seem to be happening. He's too old, too feeble, too weak on several key issues (immigration, the economy), and simply too liberal for his base.
November is still a long ways off though...

Poor John, even if he wins the election; the campaign will have ragged him out so much, he will spend his 4 yrs as president taking naps.

A sleeping President? that actually sounds pretty good to me, means he can't screw up as much.
