There's a scruffy twenty-something year old sitting in his cubicle at Clinton headquarters. He's on the team that tracks the blogosphere for what's being said about his candidate. (He spends most of his time on YouTube.) He's a window into what younger voters want. (Help me out here, is he wearing a Metallica t-shirt? Whatever he's wearing, it's kind of ironic.)
But at this very moment, Clinton operative Howard Wolfson - or maybe even Mrs. C herself - is bearing down on this guy: "Listen, Seth. We need a response ad to that Obama hatchet job - that bullshit 1984 Orwell hit job. You come up with something just as funny, edgy, and untraceble. And it better get 2 million hits by the end of the day."
Right now, there's no other person I'd rather not want to be.
By the way, apologies for the crappy grammar in the title of this posting. (Should be "Clinton Vs. Obama: For Whom I Feel Sorry)

1. Your grammar is only poor if you are playing by "Old Rules."
I'm feeling sorry for myself, as well as anyone else that wants to keep up with the political scene. This could get very ugly and very difficult to sort fact from fiction.
The biggest loser could end up being this country.
