Not that it matters much now, but to slam the door once and for all on Hillary's desperate flailing about how she would be the better candidate in the fall, let's ask her this question: How can that be true when you you haven't even been the better candidate in the spring?

Last December and January she was a slam dunk: money, organization, name recognition, inevitability, endorsements, every tool in the toolbox to lock it all up early and preemptively. Then she got out-organized, out-campaigned and outsmarted by Obama. She ran a lousy campaign, surrounded herself with a lousy staff, and was a lousy candidate—whose negatives are still through the roof. And now she want everyone to believe she can beat McCain when she's $20 million in the hole.

Better candidate in the fall? Hillary, first you have to be the better candidate in the spring.
