Let the Debate Continue

There was one point in last night's debate where in the middle of a complex answer it became obvious that Obama was repeating his stump speech word-for-word, strengthening my impression that the fellow sometimes has difficulty staying focused. Does he not realize that he's repeating a speech verbatim? Or is he just unable to stop himself -- and in either case what does that say about his expressed willingness to run off and engage every despot and rogue leader in a dialog of Kumbaya Obama-goodness?

Imagine Clinton and Obama are Tied in Delegates

UPDATE: An accidentally released Obama campaign document envisions a virtual tie in delegates going into the convention. ---original post begins here--- It would be a Democratic Convention Nightmare if Obama and Clinton are in a virtual tie after the primaries are all over and neither receive a decisive-enough delegate count or public mandate. Keith Olbermann did a fairly decent job last night in explaining how the delegates -- and more importantly the super-delegates -- add up and factor in to the Democratic Party's nomination process. Watch the video (4:43): For now, let's just hope that one of the candidates emerges and moves forward with a decisive-enough delegate count to make the question moot. The other possibility is a little too frightening to consider...

New York Times To Endorse Hillary Clinton & John McCain

Rumor has it that the New York Times will endorse Hillary Clinton in an editorial this weekend. I don't think this will have much effect on South Carolina, but it could give Clinton a boost further down the road.
