Too close to call.
Those are not the four words Senator Clinton wanted to hear regarding the Indiana Primary. And I’m sure none of her supporters were waiting with baited breath for Mayor McDermott of Hammond, Indiana to spin her 2% lead (12:49 am, May 7) into another “comeback kid” victory yarn. Yet, here we are.
And as the last champagne corks hit the confetti-littered floors in North Carolina, I can’t help but look ahead to the twin uphill battles of selling Clinton supporters as well as Independents and open-minded Republicans on an Obama candadicy.
The battle lines are drawn and unfortunately the story is the same as it’s been for too many years. Blacks vs. Whites… men vs. women… youth vs. age.
Fear vs. hope.
CNN’s John King is working the magic map like a deranged Einstein discovering the Theory of Relativity. Honestly, he’s unintentionally drawn a smiley face around Gary, Indiana!
Regardless of the Indiana outcome, Obama still has a long road ahead of him. But with a continued tug-of-war, the Democratic Party may have an even longer one.
