"Today's weather may bring sun, clouds"The pith of this inept front page headline is found in the subhead -- "Parties' rules, scenarios differ". The headline does not do justice to the article by Peter Canellos which notes that the Republican rules drive their campaign toward a single victor while the Democrat's rules can leave them deadlocked in a man-to-woman race.
The prospect of a long and increasingly bitter battle for the Democratic nomination is reminiscent of 1968, an election Republicans barely won. Both McCain and Romney are far stronger Republican candidates than Nixon was.
Despite what Clinton operatives may whisper, no outcome is inevitable.
