If it stays clean, it'll be good for the Dems, because it will keep McCain off the front page while churning interest in the Democrats.  But that's quite an if, and you need only have a look at the blogs and the stories that have dominated the news for the last few days to see why.  The NY State National Organization for Women press release -- the one alleging Ted Kennedy had betrayed women by endorsing Obama -- went pretty big tonight.  And Bill Clinton's Jesse Jackson comment -- really a non-story when placed next to Bill Shaheen's "coke dealer" comment -- has been pretty big, too.

So the potential for the gender/race issue to explode is certainly there, and you can bet the press will want that, because it'll sell a ton of advertising.  That said, it doesn't seem to be a big issue among actual primary voters outside of the blogs so far.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
