And Then There Were Two
McCain’s win in Florida makes it pretty likely he will be the party’s nominee.
In Democratic news, Edwards is dropping out, and despite his populist rhetoric, it seems the majority of folks he appealed to were Clinton-leaning low-info and white voters. So this is not especially good news for Obama. Or Democrats, really. Of all the likely match-ups, I think a McCain-Clinton contest is the one that gives Democrats the most trouble.
Edwards is refraining from making an endorsement for today, at least. After all he’s said this campaign, I don’t see how he can endorse Clinton in good conscience. But I wouldn’t underestimate his ambition or opportunism, so I’m not holding my breath for him to do the right thing.
Matt Stoller sums up my thoughts on Edwards quite nicely. I’ll just add that I’d like to see Edwards attach himself to the Obama ticket either as VP or Attorney General, although he seems to have trouble playing second fiddle.
