All the remaining 2008 contenders -- except Barack Obama -- indulge in an artery-busting blue-collar orgy of fried fish, bratwurst and cheese.
  • Playing to win

    Among the zillion inane, stupid, and plain sexist charges hurled against Hillary there's one that, in my opinion, takes the cake "She'll do anything to win."

    What the heck does that mean? Of course anyone entering a competition of any sort will do anything to win--that's the reason you entered the competition in the first place.

    Imagine if the NY Yankees went into the 7th game of the World Series not ready to do anything to win. They'd be pelted with beer cups by the fans.

    But in the case of the female candidate, what lurks beneath such charge is the specter of evil, murder and mayhem, claws in full view.

    Isn't Obama doing anything to win? Isn't McCain doing anything to win?

    I hope so. Who wants wimpy candidates who give up at the first reversal?
