**Almost Biblical...The first shall be last and the last shall be first

Democratic_primary_dt2blue
In the Democratic primaries, all kinds of things have happened which weren't predicted by the horse race specialists in the press and their fellow press controversialists. Let's sum up using the "First shall be last and the last shall be first" approach.

Florida and Michigan wanted to be first. They may as a result be irrelevant and not even last. Hillary was so far in front after years of preparation for a campaign, but like the tortoise and the hare, she was so first and so fast, she missed so many delegate small convention votes that she may be a mathematical impossibility for presidential candidate.

But, let the whole thing play out to the end, so that neither Obama nor Clinton nor any of their supporters can say, "We was robbed."

And then guess what. Improbability of improbabilities, South Dakota may have been last, but may be first when it makes the final difference in shoving Obama into first place.

So, SD Democrats may turn out to be the beneficiaries of a great debt owed to them by the Obama campaign if we can give Obama the bulk of the SD Democratic delegates. More of the last shall be first, etc.
