Enjoying the freakout over Hillary's win

I have to admit, I'm enjoying the freak-out over Hillary's winning streak, even though I probably still lean toward Obama. The crazed, maniacal fervor of the anti-Clinton types is just too delicious. I actually had a friend tell me that Hillary was "as Machiavellian as it gets," using the presence of Terry McAuliffe as evidence. TMac? Really? McAuliffe is odious, sure, but he's too incompetent to be a threat to the union. He's like the anti-Rove -- all the naked ambition, but none of the actual talent.


As for the race, Clinton's win in Nevada puts her into the driver's seat, where she'll stay until after South Carolina, when she'll have to move over again. Really, this is all setting up at this point for a big showdown on Super Tuesday, and I'm not going to bet against the Clintons on Super Tuesday. The clear favorite as of right now, and the probable nominee. Of course, we were saying that about Obama until about 6 P.M. the night of New Hampshire, so who knows? All I know is that you'd best not count Hillary out until Obama's on the stage accepting the nomination. Even then, be careful.

Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill

Obama may ultimately prevail by a delegate in Nevada, but so what? Winning delegates wasn't what Nevada was about -- it was about building momentum going into Super Tuesday, momentum Obama has now completely squandered. If he'd gone Iowa-New Hampshire-Nevada-South Carolina, as he easily could have, then he'd be the de facto nominee right now. Instead, he and Hillary are basically going into Super Tuesday all square, unless Obama can recover quickly and score a huge victory in South Carolina (hint: complaining about the unfairness of caucuses won't make that happen. Caucuses suck. They're a terrible way to pick delegates, and they will always operate in an essentially undemocratic manner. But that won't help you win the next race, and you don't have time to waste on Nevada).
