I was just going to do a short post letting you know that we’ll be doing live debate blogging tonight of the Democratic debate in Ohio. And it occurs to me that this is quite likely the last debate of the 2008 primary season. The Republican race is over, at least in terms of debates and unless some other shoe drops. The Democratic race may well continue past March 4th. But absent some major reversal of fortune in favor of Hillary Clinton it’s hard for me to see where Barack Obama agrees to another debate after this one tonight.
Obviously this rests on several contingencies, mostly Hillary not exceeding current expectations for March 4th, which are diminishing relatively quickly. But I hadn’t thought of it quite that way yet. So, if either of them have something to say, now’s the time to say it.
