Look at the following headlines from today's Drudge Report:
Hillary adviser: 'If you want Obama to be your imaginary hip black friend'...
"HUCKABEE WARNS IRAN: BE PREPARED TO SEE GATES OF HELL"
Clinton On Immigration: 'No Woman Is Illegal'...

I think about John McCain's defense of the surge. He claims to have suggested it, backed it and it's working. Is it? On a military basis there has been a modicum of success. The violence in Baghdad has decreased but has escalated elsewhere. The government is impotent. The breech between the Sunnis and the Shia is getting wider, not narrower. Power is shifting to the war lords. "Deals" are being made with these war lords for the sake of controlling the violence but at what future cost? Strange bedfellows indeed.
It is the end of another week. The pundits will again be filling the air waves. It will be interesting to see how much actual news is discussed versus campaign hyperbole.
