One half of the puzzle is in place. President Bush is in the process of endorsing Senator McCain as I write this. Now, who will he run against? The answer is almost certainly the junior Senator from Illinois. Mrs. Clinton had a very impressive showing last night in Ohio and Texas, but she still seems to be a day late and a dollar short. From almost every mathematical delegate projection the race appears to be wrapped up. Even assuming Clinton were to win every other race, she would not make up the deficit.
How long will she persist? I am not questioning her intenions nor suggesting she get out, but at some point it has to be considered that this long fight in the Democratic Party is helping only Senator McCain. When will the moment of realism take over and Senator Clinton realize that she is in a losing position? Will she be willing to take this to the superdelegates? Will they be willing to overturn the will of the people? Regardless of outcome, will Democrats be able to unite behind the winner, or will there be too much bad blood? Again, the funny thing is that the math says this is all but over, but you will hear everything but that over the next few weeks.
