Strange New Respect for Bill

Am I crazy that I'd rather have four more years of Bill than four years of this?

While we're here talking about the Democratic nomination: Didn't everyone know a month ago that the primary sequence had a bunch of Obama-friendly states followed by some Clinton-friendly states? It seems like there's been a lot of overreaction both directions, by people who either didn't realize this or didn't remember to account for it.

It's the political equivalent of overrating a team that built up a big winning streak against cupcakes, then underrating the same team right after it lost to a division leader.

I dont think it would be four years of that. After all, how bad can a place be that would elect her husband and thus allow her, for literally the first time ever, to feel pride in America.

It's absolutely true about the schedule, but his margins in those states were so unexpectedly big that it made it seem as if, ceteris paribus, he'd eke out tight wins in the Clinton-favoring states.
