Another Primary Postmortem

HuffPo's Hillary Rosen makes a point on Larry King that warrants some reflection - namely that the Democratic primary is essentially a 51-49 race in terms of the outcome that's shaping up. Considering the mantra circa-2005 that 51% didn't represent a mandate, does that same statement now apply just as equally to Obama?

In other news, Travis Childers managed to pull off the upset in Mississippi. That's a district that went 62% for Bush in 2004, with the NRCC putting down the jack to tie Childers, likely to be one of the most conservative Dems in the House once sworn in, to Pelosi & Obama. No doubt about it ... it is one tough year to defend a political affiliation with George Bush and Dick Cheney.
