Democratic chaos

With Hillary Clinton winning Texas and Ohio's primaries last night the only thing certain about the Democratic race is that we've got a few more months of listening to them attack each other. They won't be attacking each other on anything substantive though. They're both too much alike for that.

Instead, we're going to hear more about how "experienced" Mrs. Clinton is and how "inexperienced" the back-bencher from Illinois with no significant accomplishments is. We're going to hear and see accusations of racial distortions. We're going to continue to hear about how women are upset with Hillary's lack of support.

We're going to continue to not hear anything concrete behind Mr. Obama's proposed "change". We're going to continue to wonder whether or not it's really Bill Clinton running using Hillary as a surrogate.

I still think that Barack Obama's going to win the Democratic nomination. I said before that I didn't think that Hillary's winning Texas and Ohio is enough of a momentum shift for her to win the nomination. Still, she's winning the "bigger states" as this map on the New York Time's web site shows.

Meanwhile with Mike Huckabee finally dropping out of the race John McCain can concentrate on trying to appear less of a Democrat than he really is. Now that he doesn't have to focus on defeating a fellow Republican he can start trying to find ways to show the electorate that he's not a Democrat.

A few more months of Democratic candidates beating each other up in the news? I could live with that. They won't be able to spend as much time focusing on their real opponent until summertime. I just wish I could more enthusiastically support him.
