Re: US Primaries: Who will it be? Obama or Hillary (none / 1)

Don't forget that Giuliani still leads in NY, Ca and Fl (which would be a big bunch of delegates). And as Paul is not going to give up soon and even Romney and Thompson don't seem to be dead yet, the candidacy could very well be brokered. If there's no real frontrunner before Super Tuesday, it almost has to be.
At the moment, chances are between 20% and 30% IMHO.

verasoie has a pretty good diary on Kos: The elephant in the room: a brokered (Republican) convention.

If there's still a level of disagreement at the convention, would it be too unreasonable to see horsetrading over policy push their candidates towards unelectability? And a result of that causing further damage to other republican candidates?

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Not unreasonable at all.

Unfortunately I do think it's probably wishful thinking on my part.
