So Hillary Clinton figures to pick up Indiana on Tuesday, but what about North Carolina? Once regarded as a sure win for Barack Obama, it is now a toss-up. If the bright young senator from Illinois loses that one, we will hear no more calls for Hillary to quit the race, and the super delegates will be super nervous since Obama’s electability in the Fall will be in serious doubt. Also, however, those folk will be presented with a slick way to solve their party’s dilemma:
While the leaders dare not deny Obama the nomination in view of all the delegates he won in the early primaries and caucuses, they may be able to persuade him to withdraw in favor of Hillary. Hear me out – it’s a win-win for all concerned. Obama could have a clear shot at the Illinois governorship next time around and full support for a White House run in 2012 or 2016 when he will still be relatively young, much more experienced, and free of the distractions of Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers which, by then, will be faded memories.
What say you, Barack? But more to the point right now…what say you, voters of Indiana and North Carolina?
