A couple observations: One, I am sick of seeing McCain's fat head every damn time I look up at the TV. Dude finished fourth in Iowa, at 13%, with fewer votes than Fred Thompson. Meanwhile, Edwards BEAT HILLARY, with 30% of the vote -- over twice what McCain received -- and can't get any play, as far as I can tell. It's enough to turn you into a conspiracy theorist. If McCain wins New Hampshire, as I predict he will, the media's boner for him will be positively unstoppable.

Also, I'm not sure Obama is quite the "change agent" (god, I already hate that phrase) that everyone seems to think he is. Now, I'll take Hillary, Obama, or Edwards in a second over the fossils on the GOP side. Any of them would be a welcome change from the flaming disaster of the previous eight years. But Obama's voting record is pretty Hillaryesque; he's played it cautious during his time in the Senate. I'm also worried that, especially to older people, he looks really, really young. In the end, I don't think age matters all that much -- Rumsfeld showed you can be old, experienced, and totally incompetent. And we're electing a team, not a person. But I suspect many voters don't see things this way.
