It’s been known to happen before, but I was wrong – Hillary held on to 5% more than I expected, and the press is actually being fairly responsible on this result. While noting her victory (at the Times and Fox News), the New York Times at least is sounding the alarm about what this means for the race as a whole – namely, that it’s going to go on, and on, and on. I’ve posted previously about the problem of scorched earth campaigning, and I have to say, now more than ever, we can’t afford to use tactics which weaken us any more than the mere fact of the race will continue to do.
I try to make this site focus a lot on strategy – my stated goal with this site is to highlight how politics have to change, and for politics to change, we need to win in November first – and this point is the most vital issue of strategy of all. We can’t afford to be divided for much longer. It’s time for the leadership to put the heat on the candidates as a whole: not on one of them to quit, but on both of them to reconcile and create a ticket. However that happens, it needs to happen now.
