Pretty funny reading your next to last post, Matt. After Hillary's win in NH, its rather dicey to talk about if such and such happens "its over for Clinton." Clearly there's no calling this stuff. But much worse is that you even mention that poster boy for political strategy ineptitude, lifelong loser Bob Schrum. Why in the world he's even allowed on talk shows is hard to fathom. He's symbolic of everything that has been wrong with Democratic politics for the past decade.
