The endless Democratic presidential campaign has lurched from irrelevance to trivia, triggering a near-universal call to bring it to a halt.
The states that voted on Tuesday -- Indiana and North Carolina -- are so unimportant to Democratic chances of electing the next president that it is unlikely that Sen. Hillary Clinton or Sen. Barack Obama will make more than a token appearance there after one of them wins the Democratic nomination.
Unless Sen. John McCain butchers his campaign, he will be an odds-on favorite to continue the Republican winning streak in both states.
What a moron - or should I say "Get a brain Moran" !!!
And of course - this particular Moran goes on
In a sensible nominating system, these states would never become important battlegrounds. Lots of people complain that Iowa and New Hampshire enjoy disproportionate influence because of their place at the start of the process. But both are closely contested in November -- not throwaways.
Somebody should tell this Broder dinosaur that we can use google !!
