The Worst Combination for Democrats emerging.

With the results from Nevada Caucasus and South Carolina primary, it seems like the worst combination is emerging for the Democrats in this election: Hillary Clinton vs. John McCain. While Republicans, as always, are far wiser than Democrats in electing the most likely candidate to win, Democrats, as always, are not so smart in electing a senator from New York, who is invariably described as divisive and vehemently disliked by about 50% of the electorate, just about enough to rule out her being the next president of the United States. Barack Obama, the candidate who emerged as a national surprise and an international hope, for restoring the political, economic, and international status that the United States lost in the last 8 years, is now well behind Clinton, since the infamous and mysteriously unpredicted results of the New Hampshire primary, now reinforced by the results of the Nevada Caucasus.

For Republicans, after squandering 55 years of political, economic, and international capital and prestige that the U.S. accumulated and maintained since 1945, putting the country into a crash course for imperial decline, prematurely ending the American Century before it could even reach three-quarters of a century, nonetheless managed to find two moderate Republicans who can grab a blue state or two in the Northeast, and clinch yet another national victory for the undefeated Republican battleship, who otherwise is not so successful in its wars overseas.
Governor of Massachusetts, an erstwhile Democratic State, is competing against a man who is unanimously hailed as a moderate democrat who can steal many Democratic votes (and he doesn't need to steal much, either) to become the President. And regardless of whether the Republican candidate is the Massachusetts governor or the ultimate Moderate, he will face the divisive and disliked senator from New York.

What an uninteresting and depressive election that would be. Looks worse than Bush vs. Kerry.
