Looks like no bragging rights tonight
Everything is going pretty much as everyone expected, and the delegates are going to be nearly split, with Hilary getting a bit more.

You know, time was I was looking forward to the Republican party nomination fight dragging on forever and the Democrats getting settled quickly. Looks like we'll be living that instead.

1. More media attention and the spotlight. Its not that big of a deal.
In the meantime, McCain has to campaign against two people.

2. Strategically, it's good that we won't have a candidate for awhile.
That way the GOOPers can't develop a strategy against a specific candidate. So even if McCain takes their nomination early, he'll have to run against *both* Obama and Clinton for months, maybe until next summer. That way they will have to focus themselves in different directions and their usual smear machine won't be as efficient. It's not a bad thing, IMO.
