Obama v. Clinton

I finally had a chance to ask two of my co-workers (both members of the South Bend City Council) who they preferred between the two Democrat front runners. Both overwhelmingly preferred Hillary, with one indicating she would be the best president in the history of the U.S. They both like Obama, but just don't think he has enough experience yet. Both of my co-workers are African-American, which I think will be an interesting sidebar to the primaries. Does this voting bloc side with the wife of whom Toni Morrison said was "the first black president" or does their vote side with who could actually BE the first black president?

Both Obama and Clinton are now going to try and negative campaign without it seeming like they are negative campaigning. It happened this week when David Geffen dissed Hillary, who then dissed Obama for not dissing Geffen, who then dissed Hillary for . . . .and so it goes. Republicans are going to sit back for now and see how this plays out.

Oh no, Vilsack just dropped out! That really mixes things up now, huh? He said he couldn't win because of the money. No, dude, you couldn't win because you were Tom Vilsack.
