Agreeing With Rich


I find myself agreeing with Frank Rich's meta-analysis of the political race this year. I'm going out on a limb and calling Texas for Obama by between 3 and 10 points and Iowa a toss up, either candidate winning by 3 points, VT for Obama by 10 to 15 and RI for Clinton by 5 points. Statistically that would not support Clinton staying in the campaign, and she knows it, as it would raise the bar from all the additional races to something like her needing to do 70% in all of them. If she wins only one state of the four on Tuesday I think it will be easier for her to step down. In fairness, a lot of people have put millions of dollars into her campaign and want her to hang in there. It is a tough position for her to be in. Rich is looking ahead to November, making some intelligent observations about McCain. I do love his comments about Rush Limbaugh. Ya gotta love a candidate who attacks a potential supporter with such venom. What a unifying figure he would be for our country, given his habit of running off at the mouth like that!
