announced today... Clinton out-raised Obama by about 8 mil.
Saw that.
So does this now make her nomination inevitable?
Or will the fact that Obama still has a 2+ million dollar advantage in total primary dollars and (arguably) more donors who can give (as they haven't given the maximum donation) allow him to keep the heat on and make Billary sweat?
god willing
but it's still too early to call, especially with the insane methodology behind caucuses. it could be a repeat of '04 where they elect the candidate that they (wrongly) think is most electable over the candidate that's leading in the polling / fund raising.
on the other hand, the '04 Iowa primary seemed atypical in that the media more or less destroyed Dean's candidacy before the night was out thanks to the non-scream scream that was never really properly reported, and the extra cash gives Hillary an advantage in the larger states... but if Hillary loses Iowa, she
has to win NH.
my dream ticket is Hillary/Obama... I think Obama has VP written all over him, and he can step forward in 4-8 years with a little more experience under his belt and sweep into the white house... but I'd be just as happy voting for Obama/Richardson.
anyone but Edwards, really, is my feeling on the democratic primary.
