Yeah, yeah. It's cheesy title for this post. But in my defense, I plagiarized it.

On Countdown, Olbermann and Maddow continued their first disagreement ever -- on whether or not Clinton's departure from the contest is imminent (in the video pod and also at the bottom of this post).

I lean towards Maddow's view of the situation, which is that Clinton will stay in. It was irrational for Clinton to be in the race two days ago, Maddow says, and it will be irrational tomorrow as well. Really, this isn't about Clinton -- it's about superdelegates. The power is in their hands.

Keith and Rachel also discuss the likely GOP strategy against McCain, and Maddow suggests that Republicans might try to exploit Obama's reluctance to fight fire with fire on personal attacks (Wright, Ayers) and process attacks (like his "present" votes). I think that Maddow is underestimating the extent to which Obama's reluctance to fight back has been because he hasn't wanted to further divide the Democratic Party since he has been on an essentially unbeatable path to the nomination.

Against McCain, he won't feel the same constraints, and will -- I think -- feel no reluctance about pushing back hard.

It is true, though, that Obama showed more energy than he had in several weeks during the gas tax debate. Sure, it was the dumbest policy proposal of the campaign, but at least it was something meaningful, and he clearly relished talking about it. It reinvigorated him personally, fired up his supporters, and best of all, worked on election day.
