January 30, 20087 days to go, chips R a-fallin open threadSeven days from now, give or take, we are likely to have a very good (or at least much better) idea of the main combatants in november super bowl 2008. McCain won in FLA last night to great acclaim, and Hillary won to no acclaim. And the chips are falling right away. Giuliani has bailed and will endorse McCain, Instapundit has plumped Roger Simon heralding the arrival of McCain Derangement Syndrome, and Roger's thread was invaded by the righteous, certain of McCain's untrustworthiness and cataloging his alleged betrayals. And more chips. Word is that Edwards will quit. This, along with SC, may indeed render the many polls showing Hillary generally ahead in big Super tuesday states moot. What will the polls going into the weekend say? I have to think that the "2 Americas" folks will tend to flow to Obama. Whaddaya think? Chime in, amigos.

My sense in the San Francisco Bay area is that Obama is doing very well. Not, be it noted, because he is seen as more liberal than Clinton. But rather because the message of hope, and an end to divisiveness, is resonating with people -- across the ideological spectrum. It occurs to me to wonder: will the rise of McCain persuade those who hate torture to be willing to take a chance on a Democratic candidate that they like better, even if they are not sure he is stronger against the Republicans? Actually, I think Obama would be stronger against the Republicans, but which way will those who think differently break? News note: Obama seems to have banner ads all over Yahoo's e-mail site this week. Could be another good move here in Silicon Valley. Posted by: wj at January 30, 2008 01:49 PMPlease post a comment
