I also see that as usual Obama has waited to hillary has done something (tell Bush to boycott the olympics) and then followed suite a couple days later. What a follower he probably just wanted to wait to see what kind of reaction Hillary got from before he took a stand. Barrack needs to man up and stop beign such a light weight and start taking a stand whether its popular or not. McCain should go ahead and give up his seat.

That is the ONLY reason he would have to stay in the senate at this point. He knows he will not have time to be a good senator during the spring and summer before the election, but he is not yet all-in on being president. If I were him, I'd do the same. Obama looks really strong. Its not to say that McCain has no chance, he's just a realist. He has lost before and knows he is up against the most inspiring leader in a generation.

Rice has a solid background in foreign policy, but that is one of McCain's areas. I'm not sure who his choice on VP should be (I like Romney, but he has his drawbacks), but if he makes the right choice, I see McCain beating Obama. I think Clinton would make for a closer contest, but I doubt she gets the Democratic nomination.

The primary season up here last for a couple of months and I have seen just about every candidate both Republican and Democrat. Having said that, It is common practice for all candidates to establish a backdrop of supporters of all colors and creeds. Just over a month ago, HRC campaign had to move most of the attendies behind her so it would look like the rally was larger. These are examples of slow news day stories.
