The pundits are idiots

I'm listening to the TV commentators discussing the close race in Wisconsin between Kerrey and Edwards, most of them telling us that this result leaves the Democrats in trouble because their candidates will have to continue to spend money and will be broke in the face of Bush's millions.
I disagree. The Wisconsin vote is the best result the Democrats could hope for. It generates interest in the campaign, occupying headlines and drawing interest of potential voters of the next two weeks (until Super Tuesday) at least. And there's this, the two candidates are a "traditonal" liberal and a southern populist. One is going to win--and one might be vice president. This is the optimal result, in my mind.
