Gray Matter is penned by Ted Bobrow. A native New Yorker, Ted is a Milwaukee-based writer and communications strategist who has an absolute belief in the value of every individual (though there have been a number of times when he was mighty tempted to make an exception). He knows that this isn't the best of all possible worlds so we might as well get busy. Apathy is not an option.

Keep Your Hands to Yourself and Eat Your Own Food!
An editorial in The New York Times today makes the strongest case yet that the tight race between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama should be good for the country as long as the candidates keep the focus on the issues. Unfortunately, both have demonstrated that they are willing to pander to voters and attack their opponent which risks alienating he public and screwing up their party’s chances in the November election.
Who would have thought that this contest not only wouldn’t be decided by now but that it could actually continue on to the convention in Denver in August!
New York Times columnist Gail Collins has some fun dissecting what happened in Ohio and Texas. Can you imagine a better metaphor for this competition than an elementary school cafeteria?
