My initial reaction is, “Shit. It’s going to be Clinton-Obama ticket.” Obama’s power is completely lost as a warm bucket of spit.
Never doubt the laziness of the electorate and the fact that young people don’t vote and “movement candidates” always fail.
At first I was thinking that Edwards was going to drop out after a loss in South Carolina, but now I’m thinking that he won’t. I think he might just stay to the end, or at least until after Super Duper Tuesday. My fear right now: Edwards finishes second, behind Hillary.
If Edwards was was to drop out after South Carolina, I don’t think enough of his supporters are going to break for Obama. Yes, they’re sympathetic but I don’t think that will translate to a 17% advantage for Obama. Instead they’ll fall inline behind the establishment.
People always fall in line.
