The primary race is wrapping up... Well, the primary race is hopefully wrapping up, and the time comes for candidates to focus on the general election campaign. One of the first steps is obviously picking a running mate to strengthen the ticket. However, in this task, there is an endless amount of hypothesizing and speculation. There are two options that Barack Obama has to qualify his running mate.

Today at about 2:30 p.m. central time, a Ron Paul grassroots campaigner "visited" the grounds of Burlington High School (a school of about 1500), located in Burlington, Wisconsin (a town of about 15,000). At the end of the school day, he stood outside the side entrance of the school, where the majority of students leave to get into their cars or buses, handing out fliers and blank discs to passing students.

If you ignore the scandals of "who's racist?" and "who's doing a hooker?", this race boils down to a very sweet and easy dynamic that the Democrats, whether they be led by Obama or Clinton, should have a very easy time taking advantage of.

At my high school in Wisconsin (a relatively big school, 1500 kids in a town with about 10,000 people), we get Army recruiters. A lot of them. As in, every day, everywhere. Many teachers have Army posters up on the walls of their classroom. In our office, there's an abundance of fliers available. Let me state this: I have no problem with this. I have absolutely no problem with a government department coming to a government-funded school and informing kids about opportunities they have in joining the Army. I have absolutely NO problem with that.

Now that that's out of the way, let's move on to the godless liberal part of me.

I am 15 years old. I go to a high school in Wisconsin. This Tuesday a blow was struck to the hearts of many a rabid fanboy, a blow that many may not recover from in their lifetime.

You may think that I'm referring to Barack Obama's loss in the Texas, Ohio, and Rhode Island primaries. I really wish that I was referring to Barack Obama's loss in the Texas, Ohio, and Rhode Island primaries.

I am, of course, referring to the fact that Brett Favre retired.

It's simple enough. Much like the nice little spin move that Obama made at last Thursday's debate, when she insults Obama's oratory and message (such as her little sarcastic speech about the clouds parting and everyone uniting), she insults the millions of staunch Obama supporters that would otherwise vote for her in the general election if Obama didn't win the nomination. She's alienating core members of her party - namely, all of Obama's key demographics that she NEEDS to get her a win in the general election.
