Same as it was in 2008. "Why can't Obama finish her off?" Well, he did.

I heard on NPR this morning that Romney's "failure" last night had this effect: to "Raise concerns about his ability to unify conservatives."

!

I mean, seriously. What? It's a contested primary in a divided primary. There are zero concerns about conservatives uniting behind whatever candidate emerges as the nominee. Zero. None. They will all vote the same way. It is a total non-issue.

CF ALSO DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY, 2008, EFFECT ON LIBERAL TURNOUT IN NOVEMBER.
