I think that is what he means when he says something compelling. You would be right if it turns out that "the something compelling" were some kind of offer to sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom from Obama or new polling data showing Obama as the stronger candidate against McCain. Then I'd say he sold out his district. Until then, I think he's just making room for the possibility that any candidate can have a major meltdown.Chris Wordenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00558836541249077077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-33753255605635938772008-05-08T09:41:00.000-05:002008-05-08T09:41:00.000-05:00Doug - in a normal primary yes.
