The results from last nights primaries in North Carolina and Indiana have given Sen. Barack Obama a decisive advantage over Sen. Hillary Clinton. Obama’s 14 point victory over Clinton in N.C., and the narrow loss in Ind. has given the Obama campaign the air of inevitability. In both states, Obama’s margins with working-class whites and other key Clinton demographics has weakened Clinton’s argument for urging Democratic superdelegates to ignore Obama’s delegate and popular vote lead and give the nomination to her.
There are three more weeks until the Pennsylvania primary, and many are becoming weary of the consistently negative and personality centered campaigning. Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama have both continued to focus on each other; and while we’ve heard plenty about readiness, experience, honesty and other character traits of both candidates, it has been a long time since there have been any substantial policy discussions. Clinton and Obama, even John McCain, could stand to shake up their campaign strategies a bit, to break up the tedium, and generate new excitement.
Many were hoping that March 4th would result in an obvious Democratic nominee. It was doubted Clinton would drop out, even if she lost every race that day, but now it seems the race for the Democratic nomination for President will go on to the Democratic National Convention in Denver at the end of August. This is a very unfortunate turn of events for the Democratic Party, and a boon for the Republican nominee, John McCain. Looking at the races over the next few months, we can see that a clear winner is highly unlikely, momentum or not.
