B. Clinton v. Obama

Former President Bill Clinton still refuses to say Obama is ready to be president. Considering Clinton has a similar "American Idol" type following as Obama I wonder how much, if any, impact this may have on Obama's chances. I'm sure there's some bitterness involved here but he has yet to confirm he'll go to the Democratic convention either. If he doesn't, I believe that might be the biggest news that comes out of either convention (other than of course who's balloons dropped on cue).

Bill Clinton's stock has already dropped. If Barack Obama loses, Hillary and her "do the math" challenged campaign will get the blame and that will greatly limit her political power.
