Sheldon Richman gives us a clear-eyed view of the battle between Clinton and Obama here.

It’s all about who gets to wield power over the rest of us. Believing that there will be any meaningful change to come from the forthcoming election is about the same as if an English peasant had believed that it really mattered which contending side won the War of the Roses. Most of them were too sensible to believe such nonsense, but many Americans are all hyped up about a Hillary presidency or an Obama presidency. But all they want to do (McCain, too) is to increase the extent to which we are subject to commands and prohibitions dictated by the State. No good can possibly come from that.
