This is going to be bigWow, will California ever matter. Clinton defied the polls and won in New Hampshire, but Obama will almost certainly win South Carolina and probably Nevada, and it will be a heated two-person race in California with both campaign fighting it out to the last voter.
I'm with Kos -- it's very cool that the first two democratic primaries went to a woman and an African-American. I like what John Edwards has been saying, but he's CTD at this point. It's about Clinton and Obama.
Majority Report has some advice for Clinton; she and Bill have been through this many times, and they don't give up easy. Obama's going to have to get down to some real specifics and get off his lofty cloud.
But boy howdy, this is going to be fun.

All sizzle. And no steak. So far.

I disagree that Obama's campaign is based only on lofty rhetoric. He is a great speaker and likes to discuss things in lofty historical terms, for better or worse. But I think that is because he doesn't believe that policy checklists in themselves can accomplish what needs to be accomplished, but that a working majority that can put pressure on Washington is what is necessary to accomplish those policies. He doesn't differ from Clinton a whole lot in terms of policy positions, except that he had the foresight to realize that going to war in Iraq would accomplish nothing in terms of national security and cause unimaginable strife for the people there and our own military.

I'm not sure I trust either of them to be more than a couple of political hacks who will continue the status quo of dumping on middle class Americans to further the greedy Corporations. If I'm not convinced neither will get my vote on Feb. 5
