COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

Hillary Back from the Brink?



Is Hillary on the verge of a John Kerry or John McCain type return from the brink? Maybe. She is in better shape in Ohio. She has reversed the Obama surge in Texas to a dead even race even as Obama has outspent her four to one.

Obama is beginning to get some serious exposure and his messianic bubble is getting perilously close to being pricked.

I thought it was over for Hillary. Now I am not so sure. If she survives this day, she will go on to win Pennsylvania. The threshold is winning Ohio and a win or near tie in Texas. If that happens, Michigan and Florida will have to come back in play. That will be entertaining.

The question is, which candidate will have a better chance at beating John McCain? Many Democrats are not so sure.
