-- The Democratic aftermath brings to mind this journalistic staple.

-- Given the never-ending capacity of contemporary liberal thinkers to create seemingly sound and thoroughly contradictory public policy, we should hardly be surprised at the conflict between the Small States/Big States, Popular Vote/Delegates, and Primaries/SuperDelegates that stand a fair chance at (once again) snatching defeat from the Jaws of Victory....

I hear the popular vote argument....but we don't elect Presidents in that manner; we have the electoral college...

Hilary's crowd argues for the big states - I haven't done the math, but this point seems entirely consistent with the electoral college methodology. However, the argument is made in a transparent and characteristically political pro method that one is left cold (and of course, a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds).

-- In the good old days, Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton would be the ticket. But that ticket ain't big enough for both of them, and the 42nd President makes a thoroughly untenable 3.

-- Call this cornball if you want, and I'm no Huckabee voter, but this call to the common interest is something from which Democratic Brainos could learn a lot. I'm not holding my breath...

Actually, I think Obama still has the edge to get the nomination. He has the delegate lead, and will win quite a few of the remaining primaries, even if he loses PA. The only thing that could really throw it wide open for Clinton would be re-votes in Michigan and Florida.
