NY Times columnist Gail Collins
put together a list of things that can bring victory to Hillary Clinton against Barack Obama. A Clinton primary victory, given the completion of the list below, is totally possible.
So if Clinton wants to win, here's all that needs to happen:
1) A big, big win in Kentucky next Tuesday. Ideally, Obama should be limited to no more than 100 votes.
2) Oregon, scheduled for the same day, inexplicably breaks off and sinks into the Pacific Ocean.
3) Puerto Rico, clocking in on June 1, not only gives Clinton a huge majority, but also manages to become a state in advance of the vote.
4) Finally, on June 3 as the South Dakota polls open, Thomas Jefferson’s head on Mount Rushmore comes to life and starts shouting, “You go, girl.”
As you see, a Clinton victory is not completely beyond the realm of possibility. And as Ms. Collins points out:
An ambitious scenario, true. But nothing less than we’ve come to expect from the most hard-working political family in American history.
So you see, a Clinton victory
can happen...! :P
