It's like XMas Eve
There's something nice about a protracted primary process.
All the states that usually don't get the slightest attention get to feel energized and involved in the process. I'm jealous of the PA'ers right now, as it seems like such a long time ago that NY's primary was held.
In any event, I expect a close win to Clinton (5-7%), and both candidates giving "victory" speeches. I expect a LOT of vitriol from the Clinton side of the mud-slingers, and tones of muted dismissal from most of the Obama side, with a generous helping of hostility from the Obamabots.
I cling to a faint hope that somehow this election will have a positive impact on the process. Perhaps Obama could win, even by a single point, and Hillary could step out of the race. Or perhaps Hillary will win by 38 points, setting her up for a sweep of the remaining votes.
Sure, I cling. Every now and then. I'm not patronizing myself, I don't think, although I'd never join club that wouldn't have me a member.
