Denver Chaos Clock: Spring forward
Today we debut a new feature here at "Back Roads to the White House."
The Denver Chaos Clock.
It hasn't struck midnight -- not quite yet.
But that could happen this summer if the city ends up with a bloody fight on the floor of the Pepsi Center at the Democratic National Convention.
Over the past few weeks, Sen. Barack Obama's long winning streak seemed to hush those fans of chaos who had been buzzing about a possible brokered convention.
But on Tuesday night, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's popular vote wins in Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island left her pledging to fight on and on and on.
So spring forward, people. And we're at least a bit closer to the chaos scenario.
As we write in this morning's old-fashioned analog version of the Rocky Mountain News, Tuesday's wins by Clinton represented a "dream scenario" of sorts -- not just for the former first lady, but for those Republicans who hope the Clinton and Obama will keep battering each other, softening them up for Sen. John McCain. (SEE THE FULL STORY HERE.)
Check back to see if Democrats can turn back -- or even unplug -- the Denver Chaos Clock before the whole world is watching in August.
