The 2008 primaries are archetypal American Literature:

[Hardrada]

Moby Dick, to be specific. We have read the book perhaps or seen the movie.

The Obama whalers harpoon the Hillary Campaign and it drags the whaling boat under and rams their ship and all the Dems sink beneath the waves except for an Ishmael (Howard Dean maybe) to tell the tale.

1. Looks like Ol' Howard's going down, too, with the MI/FL fiascos.

2. We'll see what kind of pull the Clinton machine has after this election. They have lost credibility

and burned bridges. They won't be able to do anything to Dean. Hillary is damaged goods - she knew the gamble campaigning as nastily as she did, and she lost.

[Leopolds Ghost]

3. I was thinking Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail

[Hardrada]

4. That's good Americana too!

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

5. More like a badly written, endless, American Soap Opera.

Complete with devious lawyers, money from crooks, cheating husbands, tears, accusations, and laughable lines.

Not enough bodice ripping to keep interest alive.
