At the end of the day, Romney will win...grudgingly for many GOP folks.

This is what the Democratic establishment was saying about Hillary Clinton at this point in the '08 primary contest. .
I disagree.
"Neither Clinton nor Obama had a clear advantage heading into the Super Tuesday primaries, with 23 states and territories and 1,681 delegates at stake and more media attention than any primary election day in American history."
That's a backwards looking quote from wiki, not a quote from a pundit talking in winter 2008.
Anyway, I was actively campaigning for Obama beginning in Dec. '07 and was our precinct chair and a county delegate. Even after our governor endorsed Obama and he drew 20K people to a speech at Key Arena, the Clinton fans were still convinced she would prevail. It took a long time for them to give it up around the country, as I'm sure you recall.
