Hillary now odds-on favourite again

Great result for the Republicans. Hillary and Obama will now have to slug it out, driving each other further and further left to appeal to their base, right throught to Feb 5th. If Frank Luntz is right Hillary then wins Super Tuesday and the GOP will have the target and motivator it wants.

Don't agree. The coverage on this race keeps Clinton and Obama interesting. I think everyone was bored by Kerry by the 2004 convention. Plus, the Republicans are more likely to tear themselves apart. They've already ganged up on Romney. Wait until Giuliani becomes a player in the race - then there will be blood-letting.

Now if the Republic ticket is McCain/Liebermann or McCain/Powell, then particularly on the last even Obama could be in trouble Interest comparison on Today this morning in that whereas the Iowa Democrat caucus was like a British election pre the introduction of a secret ballot, New Hampshire was a secret ballot- suggesting that in secret some white Democrats will not support a back candidate although in caucus they would.

What the results clearly show is that the media - t.v, radio, press....etc etc...try to manipilate the ordinary punter (all early editions of the broadsheets have an Obama victory). When the political pundits get it wrong all they can then shamfacedly say is that it is due to "unforseen voting elements" pleeeeezzzze. Do the ordinary punter the courtesy of admitting they got carried away by their own rhetoric backed the wrong horse, have fallen off and have sore arses..... Stop trying to vote for us, stop writing the copy before the results are in, give us a balanced view point and let us make up our own minds.

The war machine cannot lose either a Clinton-McCain or a Clinton-Giuliani election, nor do I see how it could lose either Obama-McCain or Obama-Giuliani. Still, at least that would give Americans a taste of what it felt like to be living in Britain.
