A collective yawn
Betty Cracker nails it:
However, if it goes on to the convention and Obama wins, I think in retrospect the protracted fight will be seen as a good thing. Like many pundits are pointing out, the battle is preparing Obama for what he will face when the GOP cranks up its slime machine in earnest. That’s conventional wisdom. But a second, less heralded advantage is the wall-to-wall coverage this battle is getting. McCain clinched the nomination last night, and there was a collective yawn. The Democratic race is sucking up all the drama, diverting the media, however temporarily, from giving full attention to the object of their collective adoration, McCain.
