Hugh Hewitt gives his take on the Dem race. I think his point is valid that the superdelegates have no mechanism for making up their minds until the first ballot at the convention, so barring one candidate dying or dropping out, it's trench warfare until then: Hillary knows she is finished if she fails to turn this around, and she also knows there is growing concern among Democratic elites that Barack Obama's got a great deal of baggage which is only dimly understood. Check out Kithbridge.com's blog tracking of the Obama-Jeremiah Wright story. As week three of the controversy begins, more than one out of five blog posts about Obama includes a reference to Wright. Click over to Rezkorama.com. All of these stories are about Obama's mentor, friend, financier and neighbor. We have just begun to hear the audio of Senator Obama reading his two books, including many passages that are jarring to many people. [Hugh is flabbergasted that Obama would have recorded himself saying so much profanity in 2005 when he was already eyeing a run for the Whitehouse. nsc] So Hillary knows it is trench warfare until one side's line breaks. She's going to pound him in PA, and he's going to run up the score in NC. They are both going to have a message for the superdelegates: "He can't win" v. "You can't steal this." And since the superdelegates not only don't have to make up their mind, they can't make up their mind until the first ballot, no one will quit. What if Rezko gives an interview the night before the first ballot? If Hillary hasn't been there fighting all the way, someone else --did you say Al Gore-- will step forward. The only way to be in a position to win is to stay in the game. Hillary is many things, but she's not a quitter. http://hughhewitt.townhall.com/blog
