LOS ANGELES — I’ve been to this movie before.
Act one: Hillary is way ahead. She’s supposed to win. Big. Then comes the Obama surge. That’s the beginning of Act Two.
Instead of writing off the state, he plunges in headlong, spending time and money, collecting a few key endorsements, and great press. The polls start closing up, or at least that’s the way it gets played.
Obama people start talking about not only finishing close, but actually winning, knocking Hillary out, how the whole thing could end, right here. In New Hampshire. In California, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Ohio or Texas. That’s the end of Act Two.
Obama people trying to control their anticipatory glee. Clinton people backstabbing, staff changes, pointing fingers of blame. Campaign in disarray. Impending doom.
But Hillary holding up. Bill is under attack, and mad as hell. It isn’t fair.
He’s right, but such is life. And then Act Three.
Could this be it for Hillary? No, it couldn’t.
She wins. She is exuberant. The pundits shake their heads.
How could it be? Look at yesterday’s polls. He was closing. But he didn’t.
Have some popcorn. Stay tuned.
Will Hillary win Pennsylvania?
Ask the people who told you she wouldn’t win New Hampshire and California and New Jersey and Ohio and Texas, and a few other places I’ve neglected to mention.
They’ll tell you she could lose, that Obama is gaining steam, that she’s run a horrible campaign, that her husband has hurt her, that it has to be over. They’ll talk about how Mark Penn has to go or will go or did go ( And then? snip
Then, my guess is, it won’t be over, or even close. They’ll turn a sure thing into a long shot into a comeback.

Wow! It’s a magic pancake, it shows a map of the globe (N & S America on the left, Africa & Asia to the right, etc...). The liberals’ answer to those who see Jesus’ face in a plate of spaghetti.[/s]
The monkey looks better and you can tell has more intelligence.
You said “monkey”!
Somebody's really thinking ahead.
Gee, shouldn’t you be worried about the 2008 delegates first, Susan, then the 2012 ones, then the 2016 ones, and then the 2020 ones before you worry about the 2024 ones?
I take anything Susan Estrich says very seriously, in light of her role in engineering Walter Mondale’s 49-state sweep in 1984.
