Well, on this Saturday night, it's looking like a sweep for Obama in all three caucuses up for grabs in today's primary. I personally dislike caucuses, but I'm willing to tolerate them more-so on a weekend. However, I don't like the format.
I still think Hill should be the nominee.
McCain is in, and his strongest issue is clearly National Security. His other issue is illegal immigration, but I HIGHLY doubt this general election in November will be decided by such a paltry issue. McCain is weak on the economy.
And the economy is beginning to be more and more of an issue. He's even admitted as such in public and on tape. He's said to be reading former-Fed Chairman, Alan Greenspan's, book. The Clinton years offer a great backdrop that makes McCain look like a fool. Moreover, Clinton is so wonkish that she can do headstands on McCain's bald head with economic numbers. I'm sure a good adviser can do much the same for Obama, but Hill's year of experience offer more proof and thus, gravitas to that side of the table.
I think Hill is better suited to take on McCain in the national security realm. I can see a debate moment much like the Dubya moment, where Obama's asked who the leader of useless country X is, and he will have no clue. While I think it'd be a bullshit question, much like the Dubya one, it will look bad in a time of war. McCain will be able to HAMMER Obama on his lack of National Security experience. Granted, I think that is not a pre-req for being a President, that's why there's a fucking Cabinet and a National Security Advisor, but the issue will be available for McCain to hit and make Obama seem weak.
A Good Feeling
