Ron Paul Predicts Obama Will Win

So say the LA Times.

Some folks have wondered why we don't blog too much about the Democratic primary. The reason is that it's basically been over since early March, when Hillary Clinton failed to make a dent in Obama's massive pledged delegate lead. Her last best chance was Ohio and Texas, and she blew it.

Hillary is still "in it to win it," and she has a loyal base that includes TV pundits and Rush Limbaugh, but she has no chance of winning. Ron Paul knows it, John McCain knows it (why else would his campaign attack Obama but leave her alone), and most of the folks in the press know it. But Hillary was the anointed, inevitable candidate for so many years that it's hard for folks to realize that no, she's not gonna be the nominee. So we are still stuck in this awkward in-between phase, sort of like the moment where Wile E. Coyote runs off a cliff but has yet to fall only because he doesn't know the ground is missing beneath his feet.

Clinton will be falling soon enough. Hopefully after Tuesday, but more likely around June 4th when the superdelegates start migrating to Obama. One way or another, Obama will win this nomination. So we here at Old Man McCain don't see much reason to dwell on something that's a done deal. We have nothing against Hillary Clinton, and in fact we love Bill Clinton (despite how he's gone kamikaze on Obama), and we welcome Clinton supporters to this blog. But it's only a matter of time until she has to concede.

It's Obama vs. McCain. That's our story and we're sticking to it.
