In today’s NYT, Gail Collins writes that Hillary’s path to the nomination includes the following:
1) A big, big win in Kentucky next Tuesday. Ideally, Obama should be limited to no more than 100 votes.
2) Oregon, scheduled for the same day, inexplicably breaks off and sinks into the Pacific Ocean.
3) Puerto Rico, clocking in on June 1, not only gives Clinton a huge majority, but also manages to become a state in advance of the vote.
4) Finally, on June 3 as the South Dakota polls open, Thomas Jefferson’s head on Mount Rushmore comes to life and starts shouting, “You go, girl.”
I think that after Obama wins, as expected, in Oregon and she wins Kentucky, she’ll drop out, ending her campaign on a high note. Maybe she’ll run for Senate Majority Leader, which, ironically, I think she’d be great at – she’s a great manager and head-knocker. And, I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m tired of Harry Reid.
Yeah, I think she would make a good majority leader. I wonder if she’s burned too many bridges this primary season though. And she’s really only served one term.
Senator Dodd? Phone call for you, Senator…..
