My prediction: Clinton will win the support of the superdelegates and therefore the nomination. She is such a divisive figure, however, that McCain will win in the general election. This is extremely unfortunate, but even the New York liberals that I know can't work up any real enthusiasm for Hilary. And Obama supporters will be completely demoralized and will probably not turn out to support the woman who did their candidate in.<BR/><BR/>On a positive note: at least it will be a Republican who inherits an unwinnable war and a tanking economy. When McCain goes down in flames after four years, I for one am hoping that Obama will ready to run again. And at that point he will almost certainly win the presidency.<BR/><BR/>Am I wrong about all this?

I suspect "the plot" may be part of "the plot."<BR/><BR/>People are coming out in droves to vote for Democrats, and staying home in droves to vote for Republicans. This point of view is more consistent with that last twelve month's worth of polls, which shows enormous shifts taking place: in voter registration, in party identification, in confidence, etc.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if right-wing talkers have that kind of power?<BR/><BR/>I tend to doubt it. But I'll leave them to their delusions and just say, hey -- Hillary won Ohio.
