Here's the deal - the election is on the 22nd. By that night, we're going to know the results. At that point, there will be a major effort to either establish the result as a big surprise for the candidates, or as expected.
We all know what both Obama and Clinton will want to do with the results. We also know that the polls have been all over the map this campaign season, and the idea that one reporter thinks she can establish the goalposts is laughable. I suspect the result will be an eye-of-the-beholder result, especially if it's in the high single digit advantage for Clinton. Both candidates will have polls that will allow them to spin it their way, and the electorate will still be unsure what it all means.
I think there's a more interesting question - will there be another big negative "news" triviality bomb dropped this weekend on one or both of the candidates? What are the odds?
I'm not even a MoveOn member and that one stung. Ouch!
