U.S. Democrats: Horserace!

Pardon my dripping schoolboy excitement. But even the most dreamy, idealistic American kid growing up in the 1960s–was there any better and more interesting time to grow up?–could not have imagined a “run-off” between two candidates like HRC and Obama. You need to stand back and look at this one, the 2008 election: the most spirited, surprising and genuinely defining (just who are Americans anyway?) U.S. election in WAC?‘s lifetime. Still 8 months away from November. After Saturday’s primaries and caucuses–in which Obama wins big in Nebraska, Louisiana, Washington state–HRC has 1,084 delegates to 1,057 for Obama. 2,025 delegates needed to win the Democratic nomination.
