I dunno bub....If I had to bet even money on the whole thing I would have to say that Hillary has now become Billary and that the firing of the campaign co-chair is something every bit as orchestrated as an Oprah Winfrey dedication speech. Watch out...the most Brilliant political mind of this century is the new bus driver and all I can say is you'd better get out the dirt shields because you ain't playin chess with the local high school champ anymore.

The campaign has been brilliantly lifted off of the substantive politicking that it was becoming ( very much to Obama's favor ) and has gone back to being an image war...a war that Obama simply cannot wage or win unless he starts wearing one of Oprah's stuffed bras.

Don't get me wrong, I like the guy...he has real potential and he's trust able...but his new cohort is not. You think the Iowans will Punish Hillary for this?? Well, maybe they will...but I guarantee you this...most of the Bible belt heard all of this stuff loud and clear and they no longer need to buy the book to find out about it.

Frankly your claim that this helps Obama is rediculous. Dedicated followers don't suddenly clone just because their candidate has been dealt an insult and undecided voters are as quick to acknowledge weakness of character as they are to condemn meanness. So they'll do what????.... condmen Hillary for something she apologized for and pretend that Obama didn't already print all of this stuff for view in a Published and oversold autobiography???

If anyone did Damage it was Doprah who took this stuff from austere to best seller with another flash of surgically altered cleavage. Maybe it's just that the Publishers feel they have been cheated out of the royalties for this ...um...unauthorized exposure of personal secrets.

So remember to wipe away the mucous drip before you....sniff..sniff....vote.
