How the long primary battle helps Democrats
Voter registration and turnout are soaring, and the party is training workers and identifying supporters in all 50 states.
Joan Walsh [2008-03-26]

  • ok

    A fair piece, Joan, but the conclusion seems a little unsound:

    ""Unless the Obama-Clinton contest turns far nastier than it has already, or ends in a way that seems demonstrably unfair to a portion of the Democratic electorate, the Democrats should benefit from this competition.""

    Is there any reason to believe it won't turn far nastier?

    Clinton's "kitchen sink" has been wratcheted up to "knee-capping" and "back-breaking," right?

    Is there any reason not to presume that Clinton will not, in fact, become even nastier?
