I think of it as The Fool's Journey. I've been asked who the "fool" is. It's me, but in the classical sense of the court jester. Only the fool was allowed to tell the king of his follies.

John, congratulations on your very accurate rendering of the Bard’s head. Most contemporary portraits we have show him bald on top with long dark hair protruding from both the sides of his skull. Your Shakespeare has no hair at all. Given the actors he had to deal with on a daily basis, that comes as no surprise!
>>But all's not lost, don't count her out just yet.
The young upstart could stumble, trip and fall,
And she could best McCain, the aged vet<<
I sure do hope so. What are the people thinking?
Yes...don't count her out yet!

Forsooth, it is with great sorrow that I write of Hillary, no longer the shining star; Obama has taken her place in the hearts of the Democrats. Woe is the day that the lady must give up her place in the sun. She deserved better from her party as verily, she has fought a noble battle. I rue her passing of the torch as she will truly suffer a broken heart.
Oh poor Shakespeare! It's bad enough that they are now presenting his plays in modern settings, (miss the men in tights)!
(Just kidding...you all are so clever! Love your cartoon John!!!)
Lee, Hillary is one tough lady and should she lose the nomination I doubt she will suffer from a broken heart; a broken purse, yes, with all the debts financial and political she will be expected to pay back in time as the senator from New York. But I would not count her out until the Fat Lady, Texas and Ohio sing. Obama is on a roll, particularly with young voters, but Hillary stands an excellent chance of winning these key states. In the end, it will be the Super Delegates who will decide who runs; they are party loyalists and unless Obama runs all over Hillary in the next few weeks, they will cast their votes for the Establishment. No one really knows what Obama stands for; he is an idealist and idealists are unpredictable and therefore dangerous. The power brokers certainly know that Hillary has memorized the rules of bi-partisan politics and can be counted on to do what they consider to be the right thing: even if that means voting for a war we cannot win.
Il professore, was all for Obama until I heard his next to last speech, then I started having doubts but now am actually scared of him getting into the White House as he is going way off the mark. I hope that you are right and Hillary makes a recovery.
Maybe it's a good idea then for the pre-election period to go on for so long. It gives our hopeful aspirants more time to shoot themselves in the foot (if they are going to) way before we hand over the reigns! LOL
Lee, please understand that I am neither for nor against Hillary or Obama, both are admirable people, but looking at both of them pragmatically we should consider how either one might be treated by the Congress should they be elected. If Obama wins with a landslide vote, carrying with him an enormous number of new senators and representatives, then his election will certainly be perceived as a popular mandate for change, foremost of which would be the ending of the war in Iraq. But, if he only squeezes through with a small percentage of the popular vote, then it’s very possible that those who run the Congress of the United States may not be so supportive of his ideas. Let’s not forget what happened during the first hundred days of the Clinton administration when the relatively unknown ex-governor of Arkansas and his wife were so rudely shown who really runs the show. Hillary has learned that lesson many times over and paid her dues in full, and therefore in the long run, she may turn out to be a more effective administrator. This is not to take anything away from Obama’s obvious brilliance and vision. But it’s not brilliance and vision that gets things done in D.C., it’s politics as usual.
