The 2004 race for the Democratic primary was pretty boring compared to what is shaping up to be quite a competitive race between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. The media is going to be obsessed with this story for a lot of reasons: whoever wins will become a historic figure among presidents, the media is interested in who will win the black vote (a half-black man or the wife of the so-called "first black president"), and of course the media loves the Bushes and the Clintons so you know they will track whenever Bill campaigns for Hillary. Editor and Publisher has a great summary of Maureen Dowd's column about this competition:
