Stealing The Economist From Philly's Shtick

Another addition of What She Said:

To me, this primary is actually a good thing for the fall. All this hand wringing strikes me as typical Democratic nervous nellie-ism. A huge increase in Democratic voter registration, building of strong ground operations in most states, new technologies being beta tested, lots of media coverage and battle testing for the nominee are of benefit to the nominee in the fall. Meanwhile, the Democrats stay at center stage while McCain wanders around in obscurity, failing to raise money and leaving a trail of gaffes in his wake. As long as they don't know at whom to aim their fire the Republicans can't cement their narrative. In the end, I remain convinced that we are going into an election that is so fundamentally seismic that either of them can win it, even if more closely than we might want, due to the breakthrough nature of their campaigns. The primary continuing on is not going to change that.

Digby is not alone in this sentiment. I too think dragging the Democratic primary battle out until the convention is nothing but good. As to the emotional passion of both the Obama and Clinton campaigns; hey that's cool as well. Just don't go all dumb ass and decide if your dog don't win to throw it all away. In the end, anyone but a Republican. Okay?
