Yes, Clinton won Puerto Rico, which was expected but the turn out was not good, so it really doesn't boost her argument that she is winning the popular vote (and everything I read says that argument requires quite a bit of fuzzy math). Regardless, her outlook tomorrow in Montana and South Dakota isn't likely to swing things much (if at all) for her.
So then the question becomes—when does Clinton back out (lots of conjecture here that she is already laying off staff, which her campaign denies) and after she backs out, how will she convincingly campaign for Obama.
There are many Clinton supporters who are, shall we say, somewhat less inclined to throw their support behind Obama. The idea is that Clinton will work to fix that. The problem lies in a) whether she really will and b) will it be believable. Right now, I hate to say that I have my doubts as to b. But I desperately hope that I am wrong.
Meanwhile, Obama has resigned from his church. I really don't see what this accomplishes. It strikes me as caving in to the lunatic righties, and it isn't likely to impress his followers or those thinking of voting for him. Maybe he just hoped that by quitting the church, Reverand Wright's remarks would become even more of a non-issue. Again, I have my doubts. The right is like a dog with a bone on this.
Is it really Monday again?
