Un-Inevitable

A year ago most Democrats, by all accounts, thought that two things were inevitable:

1. Hillary Clinton will be the party nominee.
2. Any Democrat will win the White House because of how much the country hates George W. Bush.

It should be clear to everyone by now that Hillary's inevitability has gone down the drain.

What is clear to me is that the inevitability of the second probability is gone as well.

Things are looking promising on the Republican side, making a win in November highly possible. What things? Well, here's two:

- the Repbulicans have settled on a candidate already, while the Democrats have months of fratricide ahead of them in their screwed up primary.

- the "surge" is indeed working. This both takes it off the front pages of the paper and shows leading Dems to have been wrong when they declared the war "lost".

I'm looking forward to the electoral battle in November. I think the Democrats are well on their way to snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!
