My proposal for a new tie-breaker: a McSame-off
Ok, Indiana wasn't really a tie-breaker, and watching the Clintons' body language last night, I think they both know that. But I also agree with those who think she should stay in until at least May 20th, so that Obama doesn't have the embarrassment of losing Kentucky and West Virginia to a candidate who's not even running.

So, what I propose is a "McSame-off" - both candidates, instead of attacking each other, attack McCain. Voters in the May 13/20 states can then cast their ballots on which one they thought did a better job.

Won't change the outcome. I think we all (including the Clintons) know that Obama is the presumptive nominee. But if she stays in, the primary would get covered, and we could start putting the heat on McSame, where it belongs.

Whaddya think?

1. How about 2 out of 3? 3 out of five?
We don't need a tiebreaker.

There isn't a tie.

2. You missed the point
I know there isn't a tie. Clinton knows there isn't a tie. But, if she's going to stay in to allow Obama to avoid the "bad news" of losing to a candidate who isn't even running (look at how often we chortle at these late primary states that refuse to vote for McSame in the Pubbie primary), I think they should use that continued press attention to hammer McCain.
