My grubby little fingerprints all over the place today with my transcript of the Joss Firefly interview.

Meanwhile my neck hurts like anything, ouch :(. And that Buffy game aint't out here till the end of October.

My vow of the week is to actually finish Don DeLillo's Underworld. I started it and gave up ages ago. After that I will try and finish Return of the King *nods*.

Hilary Clinton, Wesley Clark, Howard Dean or John Kerry? Sighs, I usually try to pick my Democratic candidate around now but still it's too difficult to call. After my sterling success at thinking Gary Hart would win in 84 and Jesse Jackson in 88 would do the same, I may think some more on this. Hilary if you stand you will win. Plus it would be fucking cool to have Billy Boy as the first Husband. Clark is intriguing, must find out more about him.

More power to you if you've got a streak going, but I wouldn't bet on Hillary. While name recognition never hurts, it also takes some amount of getting your message out, and Hillary has no campaign infrastructure. She's denied running and the people running the Draft Hillary site themselves are only hoping that the convention will be deadlocked, leading to the last minute selection of her. (FYI, the US conventions are now a joke, TV's reduced them to futility to the point where there is NO WAY there'd be a floorfight like this today - the Republicans set their convention in order to avoid a conflict with the Olympics, and in so doing managed to miss the then scheduled Alabama ballot deadline, which woulda made Dubya run as a write-in, so clearly it ISN'T about the nominations anymore.) Bottom line is that, while she does have name recognition, not all of it is good. A lot of the country associates her with the messy times behind us, and there'd be backlash. Could she counter it by pointing to her record since? Sure, but that takes money, and she doesn't have any cause she isn't in the race and is denying any interest in running. Look for Hillary on top of the ticket in '08 if there isn't a sitting Dem in the White House.

Wesley Clark is in a very odd position. I'm not sure why the man doesn't just run and give up later if he changes his mind. As is, the man has SOME infrastructure due to a grassroots movement, but he's still way behind the game and doesn't have Hillary's name recognition.

Which leaves Dean and Kerry (and Gephardt, if anyone's counting). Dean's got some building momentum but the big question is whether a vote for him in March is a vote for Four More Years in November with the number of single vote issues (Pro-Choice, anti-War, legalized civil unions, would repeal the Dubya tax cut) he's taken stances on. In order to win, he'd have to tap people who don't usually vote, and who knows if that can be done. On the flip side, we have Kerry, who is less interesting, but is perceived to have the better survival in November. Overall, I'm pretty torn about the whole thing.

Oh, but one tip you CAN take to the bank? Don't pick Al Sharpton. :) Good luck with the picking.....
