This primary was mild by most standards. What we had was basically a tie, due to the proportional delegate allocation. In a winner take all system by state, Clinton would have easily won on Super Tuesday.
I think winner take all systems are hugely unfair and undemocratic.
I do not think Clinton did Obama any significant damage.
I hope you are right.
In fact I think she made him a better candidate by preparing him for what is to come. The Republicans will pull out all the stops this fall. We saw a preview in McCain's speech on Tuesday. McCain will attempt to stay above the fray, but he will let his surrogates do the dirty work of raising race and Obama's background as issues. We already see this in the false claim that Obama is a Muslim or he is not a "real" American because his middle name is Hussein.
And let's not forget the crime of not wearing a flag pin or not putting his hand on his chest when they sing the national anthem.
Perhaps she will become the Majority Leader in the Senate which is a far more powerful position than VP.
And doesn't have the problem of her being Obama's running mate. I hope he picks John Edwards.
