That's certainly the conventional wisdom, Fatman. But I remember reading similar articles last year proclaiming that Hillary was inevitable and that she was unstopable on Super Tuesday. We saw how well that went.
I concede your point. The talking heads have been consistently wrong about a lot of things, and truth be told I'm kind of glad that this race has been unpredictable, and that it has gotten traction on some issues that need to be addressed. My gut though, says that the Dems will win Congress in Nov, though I don't think that they'll win as big as they think. But that is simply an opinion, and should be taken as such.
but now it looks like it is going to be a McCain route, with as many as 20% of disgruntled Dems voting for him. XO claims that he would never vote for McCain, but a lot of Dems will be saying that while secretly voting for the war hero.
There's a lot of time between now and November. Remember that it wasn't that long ago that Giuliani looked like a shoo-in for the GOP nod. Once the Dems have settled on a ticket, it will be very interesting to see how things shake out from there. I do believe though that it is far too early to predict a winner with any kind of accuracy.
The disarray on the Democrat side is fun to watch.
I don't know that I consider it to be fun, so much as sad. All three candidates (McCain, Obama, Clinton) have some very good thoughts on the direction of this country. It's always bothered me a bit that instead of any kind of rational discussion, most of those thoughts and ideas are just thrown into the mud pit with the candidates. There is disarray on both sides, the Republicans in the Congress and the Democrats in the Presidency. I don't think that either is fun.
