Hillary: the Democratic Huckabee
Posted by Freddie on March 4, 2008 under Liberate Your Radio from The Right | 
Jonathan Alter of Newsweek has an illuminating piece up about the thing that will matter more at the Democratic National Convention than media cycles or momentum: delegates–specifically pledged delegates. Alter’s conclusion, based on very generous delegate math (including Michigan and Florida), leaves Hillary as little better than a Huckabee with the benefit of proportional representation. Think not? He encourages you to do the math with Slate’s Delegate Calculator.
To me, this strengthens yet another aspect of my ticket prediction for the Democrats.
