Obama frightens me more than Clinton. And since I believe that Obama is much more electable in a general election than Clinton, I'm strongly in Clinton's camp at this point.
I think one of Clinton's biggest problems in South Carolina was her husband. Ol' Bill is really losing it. If he keeps going off on these tangents every other day, she's going to lose. I'm not sure he's mentally stable enough at this point to be the First Gentleman. I keep expecting to hear a Dean Scream out of him any day now.
Everyone talks about how Clinton is a media darling. And she is (Obama is, too, to a lesser extent, but it's Clinton who has really been the subject of praise from the press). But I can tell you, as a member of the news media and observing how these campaigns "work" the press, no other candidate on either side can come close to the campaign that the Clintons are putting together. That is playing and will continue to play in her favor, and I believe she's ultimately going to be the nominee (which, I think, is good news for Americans United Against Socialism
).
Obama takes South Carolina
