What Neither Side Wants You to Know About the 2008 Presidential Race

Have you ever before seen so much hoopla, so early regarding a presidential race? There has not been, and here's why. It's never been so necessary for both parties to wear you out early as it is right now. In the history of national elections there has never been a better vetted field of would be successors to the throne of imperialist democracy as that field which exists today. Both sides have their reasons for wishing to fatigue you, and I will do my best here to explain their positions:

The Democrats don't want you to know that Hillary Clinton is the shoe in for the nomination. To say so now would be the purest of arrogance on their part and that would not bode them well in a political climate in which politicians on both sides of the aisle have so little reason to be arrogant. Furthermore, in order to have a fighting chance at winning the presidency, Hillary will need a running mate whose coffers are filled with cash. As such, she is content to grow her war chest, make a bare minimum number of appearances, and to sit in the center of the ideological field, appealing to both sides of the aisle for as long as she can. We want her to get dirty, but she and the entire Clinton political machine are far too savvy for that.

Barak Obama has as much chance of being the next President of the United States as Gary Coleman had of becoming Governor of California. It has nothing to do with his skin color, but everything to do with his experience. A few years in the state legislature and two years in the United States Senate dos not qualify you to be the President of the United States. Everyone who knows anything, with the notable exception of Obama himself, knows that. Oddly, while his skin color will not preclude him from becoming President, it is a large part of why his orations were given credibility in the first place.
