the argument the Clintinistas are already preparing: if they come into the convention with more popular votes, and able to argue that they can do better in crucial states in the upcoming general election, giving the nomination to her would be seen as quite legitimate in many eyes.

I may be wrong, but if that happens the Democratic party would not only lose the election, it would implode. It would take the party more than 4 years to regather from that .

We’ll see.

More so, the Florida and Michigan potential “do-overs” pose a further set of problems

Long slog to the convention.

And then she promptly lost Wyoming by an almost 2-1 margin.

She should have called Dick Cheney to make a few phone calls on her behalf. Or maybe she did, and Dick just laughed and laughed…

Hitchen’s nailed “The Hillary Thing” (The Clinton Thing??) at the end of an interview with Hugh Hewitt:

(Paraphrasing)

“There’s something dreadful and inevitable about people who have no lives outside of the pursuit of power…No hobbies, no interests, not character…They are the ones who never want the metting to end….”

Dick Morris can be interesting because of his experience, but his predictive abilities seem to somehow be BELOW random chance.

Not sure how he does it.

What Hillary accomplished in Ohio and Texas is considered a success only because it came shortly after the conventional wisdom incorrectly predicted that her campaign would completely fall apart. She just did moderately well in a pair of states where she was expected to do better than elsewhere.
But the convenional wisdom does not like to admit making dumb predictions, so it says that Hillary has made a dramatic turnaround.

He’s right every bit as often as he is wrong.

indeed. he’s absolutely right about the clinton’s character, for example. he just has little predictive value. contrast him wiith hitchens who says the nominee will be hillary because its always the ruthless, gutter-wallowing sorts who win…

My immediate intuition is that Hillary will win the nomination, but it won’t be pretty.

“the nominee is a n—-!”

bong!

“i think she said the nominee is near”

/blazing saddles, which happens to be on right now…

He’s right every bit as often as he is wrong.”

I’m still waiting for Rice to get the Republican nomination so people that purchased Morris’ book, “Condi vs. Hillary” don’t feel like they wasted their money.

I’m with Dean on this one. Morris is a good indicator of where the political winds aren’t blowing. So, if anything, he’s useful for that.

Kevin D.’s last blog post..Obama Is Doomed

I was reading over at The Weekly Standard today and McCain has a pretty clever plan for keeping himself in the public eye – starting with a very Presidential-looking trip to foreign lands…while the attention will clearly be focused on HillBama for a while, I think that McCain will do himself well…now, as to winning in November…pretty tricky, but not even remotely out of the question.
