I hate to point out I was right...

...but I posted the following message a couple of days ago.

...more than some people here, I remember 1980. George H.W. Bush upset Reagan in the Iowa caucuses, and, between then and N.H., all you heard was that Reagan's political career was over, and that Bush was the fresh-faced rising star of the Republican Party. (As hard as it may be to believe, there was a burst of "Bushmania" at the time that rivaled the current excitement over Obama.) Then, in the Granite State, Ronnie won handily, and all of a sudden he was back to his "inevitable nominee" status, and Bush was an afterthought whose time had come...and gone.

Now, I will grant that Reagan beat Bush soundly in N.H., while, even if Hillary comes back, she'll probably only eke out a victory. Still, I think that the "favorite gets humbled, then stages a comeback" narrative is a potent one for the media, and, should Hillary win, I have no doubt that will be adopted as the guiding story of 2008 by the Corporate Media Cartel.

Let's just say I take no pleasure in being right. :-(
