          So I have to admit, I'm enjoying watching the Hillary/Barack battle.   It has nothing to do with Party, other than meaning I don't have a dog in the fight, and can simply appreciate the back and forth of the contest.  It might even be viewed as an epic between archetypes, the young idealist vs. the cynical pragmatist(s).

   Articles like this are good for a lunchtime grin, but I have to wonder, can Barack hold onto those values of unity and hope while being attacked by the two-headed monster?

I admit I find Hillary double standard funny. Take the most recent attack on Obama. She attacks Obama for knowing Chicago Business Man Tony Rezko, who is now under indicatment in Federal Court on Fraud and Money Laundering. Rezko has been a contributor to Obama campaign and Obama worked in a law firm that represented Rezko.

However NBC showed a picture of Hillary with Rezko after she denied knowing Rezko. She claims she can't remember everyone she had a picture taken with. Her husband Bill still continues to attack Obama and defend Hillary connection with Walmart. Hillary herself states she needs to defend herself against such attacks.

Hillary Clinton of course has yet to fully explain her association with now convicted fund raiser Hsu who ran several investment scemes in which investors were made to make contributions to her campaign.

Wherever the Clintons are there always seems to be "Chinese Money".
I wonder why that is?

It is very interesting to watch.

I honestly can't bear the thought of looking at the Clintons in the White House again. I now understand how Democrats feel about Bush.

20 years of a Clinton or Bush in the White House would be a bit much (though one term for Hillary would bring a certain symmetry).

SC votes tomorrow, then Florida on Tuesday, but the big day will be February 5. I'm going to make watching the (awful) local news part of my routine until then. I doubt that will be enough butter-flavored popcorn to kill me.
