Could it be that Hillary Clinton might still win the nomination? She’s only about seventy delegates behind Obama, is still winning Ohio and might win Texas. Could she keep winning after these states and pull out the nomination? It’d be stunning to see, even if I’m not sure that she can or will and doubt it because even with victories in the coming weeks it’ll still come down to delegates and I think it’d be suicide for the party to kill its popular support by allowing superdelegates to overule the people. On a only marginally related note, Tom Brokaw was on Bill Maher’s show this weekend and he ridiculed the McGovern campaign supporters as people who put on their buttons once, lost, and then said “I quit!” on the process. That was interesting to me, and I think we might see something like that from many Democrats, especially young ones, were the delegates to overrule the people.

Here, on another note, is a good piece about Kosovar independence and how the Serbians caused the destruction of their own nation.
