The Clinton’s will have some glib spin to explain why they didn’t win Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia. It will probably be a not too thinly veiled comment about race and the educated electorate in these three jurisdictions. They are eager to have lots of stupid, working class people vote in Ohio and Texas.
It is really pretty funny how a parsing of the demographics indicate that Obama wins a majority of the college educated electorate and Clinton scores big among the no-collar crowd.
The Clintonistas are also now eagerly embracing the role of the superdelegates in a brokered convention. Yahoo! Lets hear it for the democratic process.
A dear pal of mine, and a long term Clintonista, said that he hopes that the battle for the nomination, if won by Clinton, won’t cause Democratic voters to sit on their hands as they did in 1968. I replied that that will only happen in direct response to the metaphorical violence condoned by the Clintonistas in our metaphorical Lincoln Park.

Ron - love your posts. Looking forward to a couple more irreverent ones.
The whole way that the 'Clintonistas' analyze the results reveals the divisive nature of their views. While the Obama train continues to speak of the United States, the Billary trainwreck continues to parse out this demographic and that demographic as explanations of...what, really? An electorate who, while they allow that the Clinton White House was more fun than the Bush White House (and more economically 'stimulating', as well), don't want to see this wonderful country steered by a modern Bill and Himelda Marcos?
It is not too much to say that the CLintons will say what they need to to get elected. Although the intentions are similar between Clinton and Obama, when I hear Hillary say them, I feel she is saying them to get my vote. When I hear Obama say them, I feel he is saying them out of a sense of purpose.
