Perhaps that's what we should call the 2008 primaries. Wintry mix. The Democratic Presidential primaries are beginning to resemble the advent of spring in the Midwest. Just when you think it's here, it's not. Two days of spring-like 60-degree temps followed by forecasts of more wintry mix to arrive soon: rain, sleet, and snow. Just when HRC seems to be frozen out, she comes back with money, ads, SNL skits, and a warm embrace for the populace. And two weeks ago Obama seemed to have it in the bag only to be followed by "hold that pillow if you please". Just when Obama seems ready to spring eternal, the winter of his discontent shows up in the form of the trial of Tony Rezko, and attacks right and center. There is no left anymore, at least not remaining in Presidential politics.
The pundits are saying that HRC must win convincingly on Tuesday to stay in the race, but I don't think so. Regardless of what happens, her fundraising efforts have begun to pay off as have the Republican attacks against Obama. McCain stands an easier chance against HRC than Obama and the Republicans would also love to see the Dems slug it out for another 3 months, or even end up at the convention divided, because divided, the Republicans will conquer come November.
Dems are better off not getting too far ahead of themselves. The vernal equinox isn't for another 3 weeks.
