The Year that Wasn't
Primetime Politics ^ | April 3, 2008 | Victor Davis Hanson

For the Democratic party, 2008 was supposed to have been an ideal year. There’s an unpopular, lame-duck Republican president presiding over an iffy economy and an unpopular war. Plus, the Democrats won big in the 2006 elections, and there’s no Republican vice president in the race to draw on the power of incumbency.

No wonder that for much of 2007, the polls suggested that the only mystery would be by how much Sen. Hillary Clinton would beat former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani in the general election.

Indeed, for Democrats not to walk into the presidency in November 2008, the conventional wisdom was that the absolute unthinkable would have to transpire.

And now it almost has.

Clinton has momentum and should win sizably in Pennsylvania later this month. Millions want to vote for her in the remaining primaries. By convention time, she could even end up with a slight lead in the aggregate popular vote.
Victor, Victor, Victor.

Are you on vacation on some desert island somewhere?

Missed the latest news?

Hillary will not win PA. She might even get blown out there. Hillary is toast.

I wish it weren't so. I wish the demonrat fight would go on through the summer. But it definitely will not.

I'm not so sure about that. After trying to come across as an average Joe, he bowled 37, IIRC. In a shall issue state, Obama Comes Out Against Concealed Carry, after the latest assault by the gun grabbers in PA.

Add in the backlash from the Reverend's rants. This race is going to the end. Billary has nothing to lose.

However, Hussein is rising in the PA polls and Her Beastliness is falling.

So you might be able to list reasons why Hussein won’t win, but once he wins you have to stop.
