Obama bounces, Hillary flattens. Twists and turns in the Demo Presidential campaign got a little wilder this week with Bill Richardson, aka Wolfman Jack, the latest ‘friend’ to turn on Hillary Clinton. It’s almost like “March of the Demos” as one by one the big honchos – Kerry, Kennedy, Richardson - dive into the icy waters that bring the Party closer to the brink of self-annihilation. If Nancy Pelosi announces for Obama the gig could be up for Hillary. Frank Rich, the liberal standard bearing columnist for The New York Times, ganged up on Hillary this week, the one two punch with the ever-snarky Maureen Dowd.
More incoming every day as McCain acts Presidential in jaunts around Europe and Middle East with the ever-fawning Joe Lieberman at his side as Clinton-Obama turns into a rock-em-sock-em bare knuckles fight to the finish. 
guys on Fox and Rush Limbaugh and crowd tap into huge audiences with liberal-bashing tirades that are more reality-show style entertainment than any measure of political discourse. The right wing has its own very effective media cabal that rivals anything The New York Times can pump out -they have become masters of media on TV, the radio, and the Internet.
Sir Martin Sorrell (left, with finger raised), CEO of WPP,  singled out the positive impact “new technologies” are having on WPP’s public relations operations, due to increased demand from clients for “editorial publicity through fast-growing new applications of new technology such as MySpace, YouTube, Facebook, Flickr and Wikipedia,” Sir Martin wrote in his year-end update for shareholders.
So “Kristen” is Monica Lewinsky who was Donna Rice, who is every middle age man’s young girl fantasy. Kristen is 22 (that’s a young girl to me), or 26 years younger than Eliot the horny Gov. Another perverse way of looking at it, she is five years older than Eliot’s oldest daughter. Tell me what the therapist bills are going to be in the Spitzer family for this generation and the next. 
Temeka Rachelle Lewis arranged for ”Kristen,” to meet Eliot Ness aka the Governor of New York. Kristen, the Governor is reminded, is “American, petite, very pretty brunette, 5 feet 5 inches, and 105 pounds.” After the assignation at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington D.C., according to government records, Lewis asked “Kristen” how she thought the appointment went, and “Kristen” said that she thought it went very well. Lewis asked “Kristen” how much she collected, and “Kristen” said $4,300. “Kristen” said that she liked him, and that she did not think he was difficult. “Kristen” stated: “I don’t think he’s difficult. I mean it’s just kind of like … whatever … I’m here for a purpose.”
The turning point for Hillary was Saturday Night Live a couple of weeks ago. The skit lampooning the media’s gentle handling of Obama, and the all-too-real spoof of Hillary’s latent bitchiness as qualifications to be commander in chief really turned this Dem election into a good old fashioned street brawl. It was time to get tough because Hillary was about to face the sorry end of her own mantra: Go big or go home. She would be sent packing back to New York, defeated by a sloganeering poseur, unless she came up big in Texas and Ohio. Now we have a whole new game. Now the fight really gets interesting.
