The Viper Room

So that fat lady finally took to the stage and sung... In a mesmerizing speech, Obama has claimed the nomination, while HRC has all but conceded... I say 'all but' because she couldn't quite bring herself to do it... Now, Obama enters the Viper Room of a general election campaign. This is where it starts to hurt. Where the fight turns ugly as the Republican spin machine whirs into action. Don't expect McCain to do the dirty work himself. That's not really his style. But watch out for the rightwing bloggers; the pasty-faced nasties pecking away at worn-down keyboards... Watch out for the attack ads, the coded racist references, the character smears and yet more glimpses of Obama's rolling-eyed preachers-from-hell... Some have said Hillary fought dirty. Unfortunately, I think the Obama camp ain't seen nothing yet...
