    You'd think Hillary might have learned from Rudy's failures. She still might win Texas or Ohio, but she hasn't even tried to win any of the non "big" states. Obama's proven he can get votes all over the nation; Hillary, not so much.

    Obama's speeches have completed the transition from riveting to repetitive, though he's really racheting up the attacks on McCain.

    From now, he doesn't need to do anything but stay with his tried and true formula (Change, Yes We Can, Reach Across the Aisle, The War Sucks, Help the Poor, Improve Schools/Health Care etc.) through the rest of the primaries.

    Nice changing of his usual "Here's an example of an American, now you say, "Yes We Can!" to doing the same thing, except instead of "Yes We Can!" it's now "It's the (American) Dream of . . (fill in the blank)."

    Extra points to his speechwriters for using the "Not just when it is easy, but when it is hard!" line earlier. Straight out of the JFK playbook.

    This "huckmentum" stuff is lame.

    Seriously, Huckamania is sitting RIGHT THERE.

    And John? I am not your friend, OK?
    Sheesh.
    He still sounds just like Bishop Sheen.

    Nice transition, CNN.

    Going from the passion of Obama and his supporters to the subdued McCain, viewers just went from the penthouse to the outhouse.

    He just doesn't compare. A packed basketball arena for Obama, a roomful of older people clapping for McCain.

    McCain is aiming straight at Obama with his speech tonight.

    The "my friends," verbal crutch has worn thin and he still hasn't put the Huckster away...


    Oh, and word was that McCain and Obama exchanged words on the Senate floor today, not all of them perfectly kind.

    McCain looks like he has the walking dead on either side of him.
