William Kristol call it for Obama citing our very own Poblano
Can we count on his analysis?
He predicts the fall of the house of Clinton
Next comes March 4, when Ohio, Texas, Vermont and Rhode Island vote. Clinton’s campaign believes Ohio and Texas will constitute her firewall. Will it hold?
I suspect not. Obama will have momentum. He will likely have more money than Clinton for advertising. His ballot performance among Hispanics and working-class whites has generally been improving as the primary season has gone on. He intends to push a more robust economic message that could help him further narrow the gap among lower-income voters. And an interesting regression analysis at the Daily Kos Web site (poblano.dailykos.com) of the determinants of the Democratic vote so far, applied to the demographics of the Ohio electorate, suggests that Obama has a better chance than is generally realized in Ohio.
All in all a provocative piece.
In the end he says two key supers could end the Clinton's hold on the party.
And there are, as a final resort, two super-superdelegates (so to speak) who would have the clout to help Democrats achieve closure: Al Gore and Nancy Pelosi.
If they stepped forward at the right time, they would earn the gratitude of their party. And they might also enjoy contemplating a derivative effect of their good deed — the fall of the house of Clinton.
Reactions..?
Update:
Personally the last bit is the manipulative crud you would expect.
I (and my six kids) have been campaigning hard for Obama.
But I do not want "the fall of the house of Clinton", just to move on towards more progressive gains.
And please don't confuse me quoting this with supporting Kristol, have a little respect!
