Also: Shit.
My early morning perusal of the BBC tells me Clinton has won Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island. The latter doesn’t matter. The former two do. Clinton is still some 90 delegates behind Obama, but this does save her campaign from the possible early demise.
Why is it this race manages to blow itself open again just as it was looking like we might win?
In less irritating news, Huckabee has dropped out f the Republican race. Well, I say less irritating, but the prospect of a messy Republican race all the way to the conference would have been nice. Not, to be fair, that it was happening that way anyway.
The latter, though, doesn’t make a tangible difference to much, save McCain’s campaign expenses. We already knew he was the Republican nominee de facto.
I wonder who he’ll attack first. Perhaps he’d be better served by leaving Clinton and Obama to tear into each other for a while before laying in.
But - annoyed by Texas and Ohio. I don’t think they’ll stop Obama, but they’re a bump in the road.
More intelligent commentary later, when I’ve actually had some coffee in substitute for waking up at a human hour.
