First was that Tuesday all the way back in February. You remember the one. 22 states and American Samoa (???) voted on who they wanted to be the nominee for President. This was the day that all those CNN commentators said that one candidate would distance themselves from the other. Yeah, that didn't happen.Next the race between Obama and Clinton shifted to Texas and Ohio. That race was about two months ago, and still we go on. Clinton won those states which didn't help her much in the delegate count, but it did make her happy.
And now the finale, possibly. Today is Pennsylvania, tomorrow the world. Except its not that easy. If Clinton wins, then she can go on for a while longer and drag this thing out more. Clinton is expected to win, so unless all of the old ladies can't get out of the house to vote because of the weather, Obama will have to continue the fight. It is almost impossible for Clinton to catch Obama in the delegate count, but a strong showing will prove that she can win big states. But she needs to win by ten or more percent. Since the expected margin of victory is Clinton over Obama by five points, Pennsylvania will not really mean anything. Its just another virtual stalemate.
And in June we will finally know who will be our democratic nominee for President in 2008. Lucky John McCain, that old guy already knows he has the hard part over with.
