| Clintons be gone! |
| 2008-03-06 |
| Kathryn Jean Lopez, National Review Stray VRWC-card-carrier thought: If you’re of the mind that the exit of the Clintons from the presidential scene is best for American public life, don't be down post-Tuesday — I think what is happening now may be best for that cause. The longer the draw-out, the longer the fight, the longer she looks like she wants it too much, the more certain it will be that she won’t come back if she loses the nomination (which I still think there’s a very good chance she could; how’s that for a bold prediction). She could also scratch and claw and cheap-shot her way to the nomination, lose the general election, and be out of the game that way. |

| #2 I can't see a good ending out of this. Best case scenario: we have a hot-headed frat boy leading the country using some kind of quasi-conservative paradigm. |

| #1 48 years ago the Dems picked a candidate who carried a lot of baggage, both pro and con. His running mate was about as different from him as it was possible to be and still be in the same party, but Kennedy needed Johnson to win (steal) the election. I figure if this gets to the convention with Clinton even, or slightly ahead on elected delegates but needing superdelegates to get the nomination, a deal will be made for Obama to be the VP candidate. (If Obama leads, he'll win the nomination and not need to make a deal.) A Clinton-Obama ticket will be hard to beat, and Obama provides a nice 'life insurance' policy for Clinton. |
