This will be over May 6th?
Or June 3rd?
After the exit polls that came out of Pennsylvania last night?
People are dreaming. D-R-E-A-M-I-N-G.
This thing is going all the way to the convention (and we handicap Clinton's chances there as 1 in 3).
Hillary Clinton is a hockey player, and she has returned.
And so was our whiskey.
And now we don't have the patience to watch what drips out of Pennsylvania over the next 12 hours.
Short answer: Clinton won.
Long answer: Ask us in the morning. Maybe later.
Goodnight everybody.
Take it away Jimi!
We've got a cocktail in hand and some dry rub pork ribs slow cooking on the new (charcoal) Weber.
And sometime in the next 4 hours we should know a lot more about the state of the Democratic Primary than we do now.
So here's drinking to that. And to Frank:
Hillary Clinton wins by 10+ points tonight (with not great exit polling for Obama) and this thing goes all the way to Denver.
And in Denver, Team Clinton has a 30% shot of pulling out the nomination on her "Obama can't win big states/working class Dems/Jews/Hispanics/Catholics so John McCain will win" argument.
Noted: And before the Republicans get all giddy at the thought of that, GMP1 is far from sold that in a general Barack Obama can't win those demographics, as we are far from sold that John McCain benefits from an extended fight between Clinton and Obama.
Unless Denver is an absolute circus. With tear gas.
And then...
Of course, we really have no idea at all. Nobody does. Which is what will make ten hours(ish) from now so exciting.
Tick-tock.
Huh? What?
Tomorrow is the 22nd?
Thank. God.
The only question for the next 36 hours is: What defines a Clinton win?
Our two cents: We think it will be tough for her to go on if she doesn't crack 10 points better than him (which she may certainly do or not do).
Of course, our take on this situation is hardly groundbreaking.
In any event, raise your hand if you need a nap.
