Hillary Takes Heat off of McCain

The antics of the Hillary campaign has easily distracted the media from talking about John McCain. Last night we all saw the photo of Obama with the traditional African garb (over khakis and a golf shirt) and hardly scant reporting on McCain.

I wouldn't be surprised if the McCain camp is stirring all of this up just to keep the focus on Hillary and Obama, but I don't think McCain is that clever. He loses, remember?

Hillary's campaign claims they did not send the photo to Drudge but they couldn't say one of the staffers did. John Edwards stepped in it big time when two of his blog advisers turned out to be vocal. I am unsure if Hillary is getting a pass or not, I don't think so. The second thing out of the mouths of the anchors last night was "Hillary" and the questioning of her motives.

But at the end of the day, it is McCain who is benefiting.

Not Hillary, not Obama, not the Democrats and certainly not democracy.

Democracy always benefits from the democratic process

What is that saying? Democracy isn't pretty...or something like that. It isn't neat and clean and tidy. You might not like the process, how long it takes, how ugly it gets, but the longer it goes on, the more people get energized in states like North Carolina. We're seeing record numbers registering to vote and some of that could be attributed to the fact we may just have a say in the primary. The process doesn't have to be pretty to be effective and the benefits to the voters of having a choice in the nomination process are far more important in the long run than whether Obama has to deal with Hillary a tad longer.

Robin Hayes lied. Nobody died, but thousands of folks lost their jobs.
