We note that the dean of conservative pundits, George Will, yesterday affirmed the SWNIDish judgment that we can expect a Clinton-McCain general election. We are pleased, naturally, to have scooped Will, if one can scoop a prediction.
Will spends most of his column noting in a world-weary way that Hillary's campaign has been characterized by the flagrant disregard for the truth in attacking opponents that was characteristic of the first Clinton. The same is noted in detail in a keenly written piece in today's WSJ.
Meanwhile, the Onion probably captures the moment best with the headline atop this story.
This all feels far too much like 1996 to us. Next up: a Macarena revival.

Does SWIND think Obama will run with her?
If Hillary get the nomination, she's an utter fool if she doesn't offer second chair to Obama. It's up to him what he does with that, but the SWNIDish view is that it enhances his chances at getting the nomination later if he runs with Hillary for VP and that he knows that.
I'd be interested in hearing SWNID's opinion on Ron Paul.
Ron Paul: wingnut.
In his last paragraph, George Will offers more affirmation of what I have posted in comments here: McCain doesn't do well when only Republicans vote. For Will to turn around then, and say it's "perhaps probable" that McCain will be the nominee because he's "old" and "familiar" is curious.
