The Democratic Convention is months away.
The general election has not been moved. It still will take place the first Tuesday in November.
But for Hillary Clinton, the day of reckoning has arrived. It’s a showdown at the Clinton corral.
Very simply, the embattled former Democratic front-runner must win – and some say win big – in today’s two crucial primaries in Texas and Ohio to keep her fight for the Democratic nomination.
In the meantime, her supporters here in Delco, including U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak, will sit with their hands in their pockets today and be relegated to simply watching the returns.
If Hillary manages to derail the Barack Obama Express, which has steamrolled her in the last 11 straight primaries, then all eyes will focus on Pennsylvania and its primary on April 22.
Some experts say she has to take both ends of today’s doubleheader. If she can only win one, or even if she eeks out wins in both, she will be under increasing pressure to pack it in.
Party leaders already are openly wondering if they can survive a convention battle and still emerge with a viable candidate.
She and hubby, former President Bill Clinton, often paint themselves as the “Comeback Kids.”
That’s never been more true than today.
