Open Left

Evening the expectations

I think that a major impetus of the stories you cite is to give a more realistic appraisal of Clinton's chances of winning the nomination so that her supporters do not feel  cheated.  It also provides a much-needed reality check for some voters in PA-NC-IN who might think about their votes in light of the long-term prospects of the party.  And potential donors who might consider the prospects for their investment in her future.  (Considering that she's padding her totals with contributions that can only be used in the general, which presumably she will return).  And of course superdelegates, who will continue to trickle in for Obama. And to provide a backdrop for coverage of the campaign, especially of her claims.  I don't think it is to encourage her to drop out yet.  May 7 is fine.  I can stand 6 more weeks of this.  

But my energies and money are going toward Congress.

John McCain--He's not who you think he is.
