I tend to agree. But it's just worse than that. Together these three left in the horse race make me catatonic. McCain is being touted as the best of them on foreign policy, and he doesn't seem to be able to comprehend that Sunnis and Shia have deep religious differences, and he keeps telling the press Iran is training al Qaeda militants and sending them into Iran. Hillary is now playing McCain in drag. And about Obama, I figure Maureen Dowd nailed on Sunday:

The very fact that he can’t shake her off has become her best argument against him. "Why can’t he close the deal?" Hillary taunted at a polling place on Tuesday.

She's been hanging tennis balls in front of him over and over, the American public desperately wants someone to do something about Iraq, not invade Iran now, who even likes Hillary, and Obama the graceful just lobs 'em back. I mean, Rev. Wright was the one the Clinton's called to the White House when they needed some religious counseling, according to Michael Moore. He could mention that when she uses Wright against him.

The Democrats are eager to move on to an Obama-McCain race. But they can’t because no one seems to be able to show Hillary the door. Despite all his incandescent gifts, Obama has missed several opportunities to smash the ball over the net and end the game. Again and again, he has seemed stuck at deuce. He complains about the politics of scoring points, but to win, you’ve got to score points.

So if he can't do that, how will he do when the slime really hits the fan?
