Now that Barack Obama has won 11 straight caucuses and/or primaries and with so few states left, we political junkies are waiting for the other shoe to drop. If there is one thing I am certain of, it’s Hillary Clinton will not go down without a fight. Just as Doug Flutie delivered the ultimate "Hail Mary" for Boston College, the Clinton campaign will invariably make a last ditch effort to wrestle the Democratic nomination from Obama.
The question is what would it take to disallusion the Obama voters without cries of sandbagging or political skull duggery. We have heard of the move to have the delegates in Florida count and possibly having the people of Michigan vote again, but neither of those states will provide a decisive victory for Hillary. What the Clinton campaign needs is to find a skeleton that is so morally reprehensible, Jesse Jackson would remove his support. Short of that occurence, we can count on Hillary attacking Barack’s record and vision for the country, while feverishly digging for the aforementioned "head shot".
The Washington press core is already showing signs of Obama fatigue, but can’t deny the fever pitch of his supporters. It has become so bad Rush Limbaugh has called on Republicans to vote for Hillary in order to keep her in the race.
As I watch the end of 60 Minutes last evening, Andy Rooney was discussing the race for the presidency and in his commentary he asked why Barack or McCain would want to be President? Does that mean the race is already over? What about Hillary?
It will be interesting to see what manifests itself in the last few hours of Monday and if the Clintons are able to deliver a blow so mighty it sends the electorate to screaming to her camp. Until then, enjoy history in the making!
