Inevitabilities 2

OK, so it looks like McCain has won everything today. Ditto for Obama. Is the final victor identified? On the GOP side McCain seems to have it locked up. I am not sure that any thinking conservative has a candidate in this contest. But as we found in Maryland - vets and conservatives gave him the margin. Not so in Virginia - where the constantly aged John Warner was right behind the putative GOP nominee. Warner is not an ally that I would like to have behind me. But in Virginia he may be a necessary evil.

On the democrat side Ms. Clinton looks increasingly verclipt. She clearly is Tracy Flick. But she may be able to pull out the superdelegates and thus be able to win the nomination. If she does it that way, she will lose in November. On the other hand do not believe the polling now about match ups. All four candidates have the ability to self destruct. Give it some time - let Texas and Ohio work their magic and then let the games begin.
