On a serious note. Why is all the campaign coverage about Oback v. Hillary? (Aside from the fact that made up news about this tiff comes from the Washington Times and other rabid rightie sources.)

The republican candidates will destroy each other. I feel a little sad for the poor fundamentalist voter, unable to think for herself, trying hear who god wants her to vote for. She may spontaneously combust right there in the voting line.

Ok I don't really feel sad.
