What are they thinking?

I don't know about you, but I wonder what is going on in Senator Clinton's mind right now.

"Should I run or should I quit?"

Is she runs on there's the danger that she can lose the respect of Dems who view her race as hopeless and therefore detrimental to the cause. Then again, the struggle between her and Obama does keep the spotlight off McCain.

Maybe if she continues trying, the focus of attention will be on her and Obama and not on Obama's gaffs such as his relationship with Rev. Wright. The longer the race goes on the less time the Repubs can mount their usual scum-slinging campaign against the winner, which does look to be Obama.

Repubs are good about attacking the person--as the job on Kerry showed--but not so good at attacking ideas. What are the Repubs to do, go after Clinton and Obama at the same time? In order for their type of attack to work, it has to be focused on an individual. Afterall, they can't just attack Dems because there are too many of them who just aren't bad people and no doubt crossed party lines to support George W. in his first race for pres. No, they are probably struggling to hold tightly the leash that restrains their attack dogs--such as the Swift Boat assasins--in preparation for the final winner.

Frankly, I can understand Wright's ranting about an unfair society, and if I had suffered simply because of my race, I might be ranting as well. What I can't understand is McCain's relationship with Hagee. Who'd want those nuts on their side, anyway.
