Me. And she won.

Then she wins Indiana, he wins North Carolina. And we stumble through to June without any real change in the balance of pledged delegates. It is tough to see how he doesn’t become the nominee, the only question is when.

Its a great testament to the weakness of the American parties that there seems to be no mechanism where this can be brought to a head: for a while I was a fan of the theory that someone like Nancy Pelosi could use whatever authority she has as Speaker to get the House superdelegates to break one way or the other, but in the end, those House members will probably do whatever they thought was going to play best with their own primary constituencies.

I was at a conference last weekend where a Republican consultant floated the theory that she’s actually gunning for the Veep slot, or at least keeping her options open. Maybe. At the same time, Republicans were joyous at the sight of this intra-Dem fight, but nonetheless pessimistic about their chances in November (no surprise there).
