Global Bleeding

HC and BO make nice for the next few months, deftly underlining their slight but actual differences in tactics, strategies and principles. They split the remaining delegates, but they sort it out at the convention with good judgment and good sportsmanship, and one of them runs with Bill Richardson, and that's that.

But if they hack and hew at one another and finish the campaign with the delegates still split but oh so much blood spilt viz. Jake LaMotta and Randy (Tex) Cobb, then the crowd will turn away, draw a curtain over the carnage, and we end up with:

Al Gore.

My mantra is: play nice. It's not about you.
