And Then There Were Two

Unfortunately, Hillary has dropped out of the race. Comically, she is calling for unity weeks after it was apparent she had no chance of beating Obama. I was really enjoying the beating Obama was taking - his dirty laundry being aired by a family adept at muddying someone's good, or not-so-good, name. Hillary's withdrawal also brings reality a little closer. McCain, an elderly candidate no matter how he spins it, is now squarely facing off against a sprightly black man who packs stadiums with people overcome with his eloquence. Hopefully McCain can succeed in keeping Obama's dirty laundry (Wright, Rezko, Ayers, etc.) right under the public's nose, along with the policy issues that Obama is so incredibly weak on, such as his anti-capitalist, populist economic agenda and total lack of foreign policy experience.
