Tasting blood. Licking our lips.

One of these days, when there's  a little extra time and brain activity available here, we at Prairie Weather will lay out why we think Clinton should not repeat should not be nominated, much less elected.  For now, let's just stick with nominated. 

We believe that Clinton could well be defeated -- "handily defeated" -- by a Republican.  Much money would be devoted to keeping her out of the White House.  Aside from anything else (and there's a lot else), we think progressives and anyone who believes in extirpating all traces of Bushness should stay away from Clinton.  So we are cheerful to read this latest hottest fresh off the wire news from the Washington Post:

Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) draws support from 30 percent of likely Democratic caucus-goers in Iowa, compared with 26 percent for Clinton and 22 percent for former senator John Edwards (N.C.). New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson received 11 percent. The results are only marginally different from a Post-ABC poll in late July, but in a state likely to set the tone for the rest of the nominating process, there are significant signs of progress for Obama -- and harbingers of concern for Clinton.

Callooh!  Callay! We are grateful for what we can get, Clinton-wise --  even the faintest "harbingers of concern."

Maybe living where you do, PW, has given you the willies (Hello from Chicago!) but there is no way a Repug wins the presidency next year. Their rancid party is coming apart at every seam, or put another way, has too many internal contradictions.

Hil is not my first choice, nor is Barack (in fact if the Dem. party is going to make any progress, that whole Illinois machine has to be put away for good) but both appeal to voters imaginations in ways the other side just can't.

The only thing, the only thing. the GOP has going for it is the venal MSM, and this time, thanks to what's happening online, it won't be enough.
