The other comeback kid

Isn't that what they called Bill Clinton in 1992? I don't really remember, I was only 8, but that's what they tell me. So, Hillary won three out of four yesterday, including both big states, Ohio and Texas. She's definitely not giving up, which means six weeks of PA campaigning, baby! Wheee! Seriously, there's a couple scattered primaries this week that no one cares about, and then six weeks of nothing. Which means everything and everyone is going to be fully focused on PA. Finally! We matter!!!

In a complete non-surprise, McCain won every primary yesterday, earning enough delegates to officially claim the nomination, and Mike Huckabee finally dropped out.

Here's an interesting discussion of what Hillary needs to do to win the "moral claim" to the superdelegates. It's a tricky question, especially given the leftover sentiments from 2000 about winning the popular vote. As the op-ed points out, primary delegates don't carry the constitutional weight of the Electoral College, and so if it comes down to one person winning the popular vote, and the other winning the delegate count, the popular vote will mean that much more. And then it's up to the superdelegates to cast their votes in support of the "rightful" winner, however they figure that out.

Sidebar - what's up with people writing fake memoirs lately? Does it really make the story that much more interesting if it's "true"?
