Agreed. If Clinton was the opportunist people claim she is, she'd bow out now "for the good of the party," sit back and watch Jughead go down in flames, then spend three years savoring McCain's discomfort trying to clean up GWB's various messes, until the fourth year, when the Richardsons and the other fair weather friends come courting her. That's if she was smart, mind you. Somehow, I don't see her doing it.

But, back to your other point: Obama can register all the new voters in Florida he likes and it won't make a bit of difference. We've all seen that state's history of using subterfuge and legerdemain to disenfranchise Blacks. And I don't think the current Supreme Court will be any more sympathetic that the one in 2000.

Even if he does manage to pull off Florida, he still needs Ohio and Pennsylvania, and the numbers simply aren't there for him. This election is going to be as one-sided as the Six-Day War, and it's going to leave Obama just as bloodied as the arabs he thinks can be reasoned with.
