Well, as Chris Matthews rather too harshly pointed out to Hillaryland's Lisa Caputo last night, it can't really be buyer's remorse, given that each state is a new group of buyers. (Still, ungallant to have someone on and then tell her that her metaphor is dumb.) This morning, there seemed to be some question about whether it's really the Democrats who are dithering; after Rush Limbaugh spent all week telling Texas Republicans to turn out for Hillary in their state's open primary, on the premise that she would be the weaker candidate in the fall, 9 percent of the Democratic vote did come from self-identified Republicans. Only as it turned out, they broke for Obama! I can't remember another primary in which it was so hard to tell the true crossovers from the aspiring process manipulators. Or when so many people in both parties were claiming they'd vote with the other party in the fall if their candidate did not prevail. So, this is still a happy day for El Rushbo—with Hillary pledging to go down shooting—and one mixed-up election. And given the—how do I say this?—previous lack of close personal friendship between Al Gore and Hillary Clinton, the very idea of him getting to broker this thing must make everything that's happened since 2000 seem almost worth it. (Unless, like those guys yelling, "Iron my shirts," he was joking at her expense.)
