...half months after Obama's breakthrough win in Iowa, Joe and Jo Lunchbucket still aren't buying the audacity of hope. Indeed, only 56% of Clinton's supporters said they were likely to vote for Obama in November if he is the nominee. (One in four would choose Republican John McCain; the rest couldn't or wouldn't say.) Clinton continues to be especially strong among white women--the largest constituency in the party...
...Democrats, this is a springtime of disadvantage. Even if the party settles on a presidential candidate by June, John McCain will have already had a three-month jump on organizing the Republican Convention, hiring staff, raising funds and building a campaign machine. But if the nomination fight goes all the way to August's Democratic Convention in Denver, it could become a summer of disarray.

...other hand, Republican nominee John McCain’s “Service to America” biography tour—effectively an attempt to kill time until the fall—has been downright tedious. His well-worn personality parade pales in comparison to the current mood of cliffhanger ambiguity that still hangs over the Democratic nomination. Suddenly, what has often been an automatic nomination process has been ignited with uncertainty and thus interest. The theatrical element to Obama and Clinton’s tussle has generated public enthusiasm at a fever pitch, generating far more media coverage...
