"a magical expiation of America's Original Sin of slavery and racism"

Oh, no. Noooooooooooooooooooo. Much as the radical lunatic fringe is nuts about that issue, no.

You see, courtesy of political correctness, we've already Been There, Done That:

Ken Burns's "Baseball," almost principally instead about the evil, sinful USA and Jackie Robinson As Jesus (horribly overdone enough, but the whole production complete with a bonus: liberal northeastern dinosaurs like Mario Cuomo and Doris Kearns Goodwin as general-purpose baseball "authorities" [*** GAG ***])

News reports have Richardson and Rendell hedging their bets in support of Billary, let's wait and see.

Bu Joe got it right - there is a long way to go.

Clinton is still in a tight spot after Tuesday, IMO.

If she 'loses', the pressure brought to bare on her to drop out will be enormous. But the overall race will still be too close, and I cannot see her doing that. At the least, she would wait until the convention so she and her team could be power brokers.

If she 'wins', it could re-ignite the Obama support. His support is young and personality-based. Those types tend to not vote if they perceive their guy is in good shape, then rally strongly if they feel he is threatened.

This is also assuming that under all circumstances, the vote is overall close. either side getting a huge win (very unlikely) would change the calculus.

I concur with Templestark...an excellent representation of a tangled skein of events, Joe.

I suspect the single biggest reason for the shift was that Clinton's complaint re: SNL about bias finally registered last week. You could track the increasing number of articles daily reflecting on the charges...and then finally a national airing of the Chicago media's knowledge of Obama re. Rezko etc.

But if Clinton comes back...what a fantastic story!!! She, not her husband, will be the REAL "Comeback Kid"! Demonstrating once and for all that with a Clinton - as with all Undead - you can't just drive a stake through their hearts and expect them to die...you also have to cut off the head, sprinkle holy water and garlic, and burn the body politic to ash.

I sincerely hope she pulls it out. Clinton v. McCain would be a decent contest between two warhorses...and a Clinton presidency would be on solid foundations. As the Chicago stories emerge, Obama is looking to be more and more of an Empty Suit peddling a magical expiation of America's Original Sin of slavery and racism.

Well organized post - thank you - and I'm happier being a Hillary Clinton supporter (but NOT Obama-hater). I feel that Obama has been getting a pass on substantial things, not plagiarism which got a lot of play but truly wasn't a big deal. ETC.

I'm an advocate of not calling the cards before they're counted. The media has been proclaiming the death of Clinton's campaign for two weeks. Yet, don't forget Mike Huckabee. If it wasn't for his big comeback on Super Tuesday, Romney might still be in the race.
