Kluge, why is it so important to set the record of the Swift Boat or Kerry's service straight? Does it matter to anyone in the world why and how Kerry accepted his duty to go to Vietnam? Will you be so supportive of the role of war heroes when the presidential debate switches to John McCain v Obama?

Should we not retarget our attention (and visceral reactions, as you say) to today's developments? In a thread that is titled "Lights out for Clinton" should we not wonder if the day Obama catches Clinton in the number of super delegates won't be the day HRH realizes it's all over for 2008? Right now BO is in within ... a handful of Clinton, and is expected to jump ahead in all counts shortly. Trailing in the popular vote, the delegates, and the super delegates is hardly a recipe for success.

Inasmuch as I predicted that she would never agree to drop her campaign until the convention, I think that it has become a matter of hours as opposed to days. Looking at her future, it seems that W. Virginia will be the last opportunity to leave the race without ruining her future chances. After scoring a victory in WV, the pickings will be very slim and her chances to leave on a high note all but gone. Of course, she'll probably offer Obama the VP seat before leaving.

Time to buy a few candles has come. Let them be nice aromatic ones.
