Not all roses for Barack Obama now, however
My friend brought up a interesting point: the more important way of looking at this though is that Obama hasn't WON. Not in the overwhelming way that we want the Democratic nominee to, to carry our hopes of a victory in the fall. That's the ugly truth of this primary battle.
The real story here -- the one everyone's missing cause all they can talk about is what will Hillary do -- is what does it mean that Obama hasn't been able to take hold of this party. Are people suggesting that the only way Obama could have taken hold of the party is if no one (Hillary) was running against him in the primary? That doesn't sound like a win in November to me.
No, I think that what this race has proven -- and quiet your whining and calls for the race to end, media; what else would you be doing if not covering this anyway? -- is that neither candidate is very compelling on his/her own. In order to win in the fall they both need each other. That's the way to victory.
