Primaries Tomorrow
So, Ohio, VT, Little Rhody, and Texas, meet your next President’s two biggest problems. Nothing costs America more than oil and the war in Iraq. Polls show dead heat in the Democratic primaries tomorrow. America’s attention is focused on Hillary and Obama as dictators from Russia (Putin committed election fraud yesterday and installed Medev-ichka) to Khartoum (Southern Sudan and Drafur), Caracas (moving tanks and troops to Colombian borders), Syria (Lebanon is in deadlock between Syrian and US backed coalitions; US warships arrive off Beirut port) make moves. Israel killed 60 Gazans on Saturday; Secretary of State Rice reaches region on Wednesday. And on and on. Everyone’s making moves on lame duck Bush as the 2008 Democratic election captures Americans’ attention. And after reading all the news and analysis, watching cable all day, it still seems like the race is impossible to predict.
