Another short post, I think. I've been getting a bit overloaded on political blogs, and there's really little I feel like adding to the general chatter. Obama needs a win, the bigger the better. He'll probably get one, but if Clinton finishes within double digits, she can claim she did better than expectations. The recent debate and the subsequent spinning has raised an interesting issue: what is a Hillary Clinton White House going to be like with the Big Dog casting his considerable shadow on everything she does?
This of course is one of the molehills that Republicans like to make a mountain of, except that it's really not hard to imagine it becoming more than just a molehill. The Onion has a great fake news story about Bill Clinton announcing, "Screw it, I'm Running for President." I'm not one that feels Bill Clinton is a power-hungry meglomaniac. But he is human, he is a politician (and can claim to be a rather spectacularly successful one), so he does have an ego. How's that going to work if Hillary gets the big chair? It's a fair question, it's a loaded question, it's one that's pretty hard to answer right now.
Prediction: Obama, Clinton, Edwards. Yawn.
