Good News? Bad news?

The good news…everyone stays in, the race is more ‘exciting,’ drawing more people (consumers/spectators/voters) into the process. The more people in the process the better. Good news also in that there will be more debates. So more people get to contrast and compare not just the candidates but also the difference between the Goopers and the good guys.  

An Edwards Obama/Obama Edwards coalition? Double the message, double the fun? Edwards HAS to stay in the race somehow to keep driving (and clarifying) the message, keeping Obama and Hil on their toes.

Good news also as the estimable ek points out, that the punditry can pound sand! Tweety getting pimp slapped is always good news!

More good news, the discussion of racism and sexism goes on. Which might be in the bad news category because of the nastiness that usually accompanies it…but  we need to have that conversation apparently, both the nation and the blogosphere, if supposed liberals and progressives are so ….confused? ….conflicted? ….clueless? Then hashing it out can only be a good thing in the long run.

Bad news?

Bad news for the Blogosphere…the candidate wars continue.

More candidate wars equal less substance and less reporting and writing on that little nuisance called The Bush Administration and it’s crimes against humanity.

Bonus track….not for the weak of heart!

    that Edwards is staying in the race and that NH was so close, if only for the reasons you say above, Buhdy.  I want a real race, with real people, on real issues.  And they’re all going to be tested and that is a good thing!

    I might need a lot of tea though to live through the blog fights.  @;-)

    Woohoo!  A RACE!

  3. is terrifying. Nice hairdo’s. Yeah a real primary, with  discredited talking big heads and huge turn outs. Sounds good!  

  4. the bonus prize….another day of the media discussing itself!!!

    Greenwald today:

    This was the very first paragraph of the very first NYT column written by Kristol (h/t Awklib):

     

     Thank you, Senator Obama. You’ve defeated Senator Clinton in Iowa. It looks as if you’re about to beat her in New Hampshire. There will be no Clinton Restoration. A nation turns its grateful eyes to you.

    Was it even theoretically possible for Kristol to have written a more appropriate first-ever paragraph in the New York Times — suffuse with his trademark combination of chronic Wrongness and smug malice (to complement his inexcusably sloppy factual inaccuracy), all in one column. Andy Rosenthal should be very, very proud.

    Video One:  I was unaware that Jim Carrey, in a prior life, was George Jones.

    Video Two:  Super Mullets.

    I’ve been blinded by Porter Wagoner’s sequins.

  8. I was captivated by those “dry look” hairstyles on Porter Wagoner’s show. How much man spray do you think that took?

    Weird Porter Wagoner fact that I looked up he hosted James Brown at the Grand Ole Opry in 1979. Wow, I wish I had seen that!
