As Clinton and Obama continue to battle it out while John McCain reaps the benefits, American liberals are growing increasingly anxious about giving Republicans a head start on the fall election. But wait!
Here's Harry Reid, Senate majority leader, with a consoling word: "Easy." Reid says the primary battle will be resolved before the August convention. "It will be done," he tells his local Las Vegas paper, adding that he's just had a conversation with national Democratic chairman Howard Dean.
Some commenters on the Washington Monthly page that's linked to above subscribe to a theory that has picked up steam in the blogosphere before -- Clinton could ascend to become Senate leader if she concedes the nomination. Reid would step aside and claim a still-unknown prize, perhaps in a Democratic administration.
If such wild speculation comes true, well, you heard it here (sort of) first.
