It may be hard to imagine now, but Democrats will eventually overcome the impasse at which they currently find themselves and nominate one candidate to head their ticket for the presidential election next November. Although in duration and money spent, the fight to capture the Democratic nomination might seem like the be-all-end-all, what we have seen so far is just the beginning.
