Does the finish of the 2008 Kentucky Derby provide an answer to the current Donkey Dilemma? Will The Hillster take the cue from Eight Belles? Even more to the point, will The Hopester prevail, even though, like Derby-winner Big Brown, The Hopester isn't even supposed to be in the race because he's inexperienced and had too few racing starts? Will the political pros, like racetrack veterinarians, have to put The Hillster down? Stay tuned and remember to bet Big Brown in the Preakness. If this is (fair & balanced) touting, so be it.

Robert Wright of Bloggingheads.tv and Ana Marie Cox of Time.com's "Swampland" blog debate whether Hillary Clinton will drop out of the race.
[Robert Wright is a journalist and prize-winning author of best-selling books about science, evolutionary psychology, history, religion, and game theory, including Nonzero: The Logic of Human Destiny, The Moral Animal, and Three Scientists and Their Gods: Looking for Meaning in an Age of Information. He is a visiting scholar at The University of Pennsylvania and Schwartz Senior Fellow at the New America Foundation.
On November 1, 2005, Wright and blogger Mickey Kaus launched "Bloggingheads," a current-events diavlog. Bloggingheads diavlogs are conducted via webcam, and can be viewed online or downloaded as MP3 sound files. New diavlogs are posted approximately 5-10 times a week and are archived. While many diavlogs feature Wright and Kaus, other regular participants at Bloggingheads.tv include Conn Carroll, Jonathan Chait, David Corn, Ross Douthat, Daniel Drezner, Garance Franke-Ruta, Jonah Goldberg, Ezra Klein, Megan McArdle, James Pinkerton, Mark Schmitt and Matthew Yglesias. They collectively represent diverse political viewpoints, and Wright and Kaus differ politically.
Ana Marie Cox was the editor (and founder) of "Wonkette," a gossip blog about Washington, its politics, and the people who live there. Cox was one of seven bloggers selected as Media Magazine's 2005 Media 100 list of "people you need to know." Cox currently contributes to Time's "Swampland" blog.]
