When You Strike At The Queen . . .
Posted at 2:24am on Mar. 5, 2008 And So Continues The Internecine Warfare
By Pejman Yousefzadeh
I will confess that I thought after tonight, Hillary Clinton would be a goner. We all heard that Barack Obama was making huge gains in both Ohio and Texas and for all I know, if the race were held a few days later, he might have won it.
But it was not held a few days later. It was held on Tuesday night and Hillary Clinton won. As Brother Lane makes clear in his own inimitable way, Hillary Clinton's wins in Texas and Ohio will only serve to prolong the fight for the Democratic nomination. This will exhaust the candidates, exhaust their resources and make it that much harder for Democrats to eventually unite for the fall campaign. Meanwhile, Republicans will have time to coalesce around John McCain, who won the nomination by sweeping through Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island and Vermont. A united Republican party now looks to be more and more a likelihood. As for the Democrats . . . well . . . see the title of this post.
If Emperor Palpatine was around, he would advise both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to let the hate flow through them and let it nourish them. They will have little problem doing so; it is clear that neither Clinton nor Obama like one another. Lightsabers will be lit anon. And hands are gonna get cut off in the duel.
