Has my memory gone bad, but how many years have we had so many “Super Tuesdays”? I thought we used to have only one. AND, when did the msm start picking the winners before the election? I’m befuzzled.
Your post reminded me of one definition of polls: “Polls are the media’s way of saying that when they want your opinion, they’ll give it to you”, or something like that.
That said, anyone who thinks that McCain is going to somehow “take” states like NY or CA in the general is simply smoking something. The media likes Obama, so McCain is the Republican they’d like to see run against him because it would be a repeat of Clinton-Dole race of 1996: the younger, fresher face versus the grizzled war veteran. To some extent, I almost prefer that Obama gets the nomination, because if the sHrill one does, black Democratic voters will conveniently forget all the Clinton slurs and vote en masse for her ANYWAY. And this time, they would slide into irrelevancy for a long, long time. As we have seen with the boo-hoo vote, a couple of tears will win solidarity or pity from a much larger bloc of voters than will race issues.
That’s also one difference between the Dems and the pubbies. Dems do know how to embrace party unity when they need to.
