A fine mess

I've got a ton o' political links and I want to pass on a few to ya. Yes, I'm been selective. Calm down.

Not sure if I linked Hillary's big mocking moment, but here it is.

Here is a slam on the Hillary campaign by Frank Rich, which is brutally honest in how she plays on fear and low expectations. Jonathan Alter asks Hillary to leave the race now. Paul Loeb wonders how much she'll hurt the party on her way down.

Over at HuffPo, Arianna analyzes the "only words" argument and how Hillary fails the test. The Chicago Tribune finds that yes, Obama's speeches do have substance. The Guardian confirms this and points out some differences between Obama and his opponents.

Frank Rich looked at the painful awkwardness of McCain running against Obama. This week he looks at how McCain, for some unknown reason, is taking cues from Hillary Clinton on how to beat Obama. Not that I'm complaining. Her losing strategy can be his for all I care.

Also, a look at how Obama's family in Kenya is viewing the race.
