Well, here's a tired, old story that we already knew the ending to playing itself out. The Dem's rules committee reaches a compromise Saturday about the delegates that doesn't affect Obama's chances at getting the nomination. Hillary wins a majority of Puerto Rico's 55 delegates on Sunday. And the elephant in the room that everyone is pointing at gets a little more smug.
Why? Because we've known Hill's shot at the nod have long been dead regardless of how many primaries she now wins, yet her people are still making noises about challenging Saturday's decision at the convention. Everyone, Obama included, is walking on eggshells around Clinton, saying dropping out of the race is completely up to her and no one is going to twist her arm.
Meanwhile, Obama is already tossing attacks at McCain and vice versa. This game of empty words has become a lot more empty since conventional wisdom finally got the courage to say out loud that Clinton's chances are done.
I only hope the substance of this debate becomes more relevant once we've got just two people going head to head.
