here we go now...

I've been taking some time off from the election. After Ohio and Texas, it just looked like 8 weeks of a long hard slog, a good time to safely tune out for a while. Pennsylvania's primary is less than a week away, and not much has changed since the last time I looked. Obama still looks like the man to beat and I'm still wondering why Hillary hasn't gotten the hint yet. There was a debate last night, and I was really disappointed by the moderators, ABC's Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopolous. The first 40 minutes consisted of Gibson and Stephanopolous throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Obama, warmed-over crap like the Jeremiah Wright stuff, and why Obama doesn't wear a flag pin. Stephanopolous asked him about his association with a former member of the Weather Underground. (Apparently Stephanopolous was encouraged to ask that one by several members of the FOX noise team.) Makes me sick, why don't they ask some real damn questions?
