Obama seems to have lots of momentum.

I agree. When considering the superdelegates we have to remember that they are uncommitted and hence could go for Obama if the correct circumstances present themselves. I'm not sure I'd be happy to be one at the moment. The sort of arm-twisting involved is legendary and the Clinton machine is one of the dirtiest players in the game.

This is machine politics in its purest form - Hillary's New York machine versus Obama's Chicago machine. Those will be the principal gladiators in the convention arena, with Kennedy's Massachusetts machine in a pivotal role in between. The sort of wheeling and dealing that will take place is commonly protected by a code of silence that makes the Mafia's omerta look positively talkative.

I tried to explain this to a young colleague who is all passion for Hussein and who, I am sure, regards me as cynical and unidealistic. I have a hunch he'll change that view come August.

It just hit me.. I KNOW WHO we need to run on the GOP.

Greg Abbott, he is in a wheel chair, a great guy with great record and is Attorney General or something in Texas.
