Virtual Primaries
Dick Morris thinks our political system is undergoing a sea change. Whether it’s a change for the better remains to be seen. One thing I find interesting is how frontrunners in the two major parties try to portray their nominations as inevitable. Getting people to think you can’t lose goes a long way toward ensuring that you don’t lose. I think this is why Hillary Clinton’s campaign lashed out so harshly at Barack Obama. Comments made by Obama supporter David Geffen made Hillary appear vincible, which thwarted her strategy of appearing invincible. I expect bloody contests in both parties, with Hillary and Bill emerging as the Democrat nominee and either John McCain or Rudy Giuliani emerging as the Republican nominee. (I’m still with you, Mitt, but things aren’t looking good.) The combat will be encouraged, and to some extent facilitated, by talk radio, cable television, and the blogosphere.
