Eric Margolis: Clinton-Obama spat benefits McCain

[nxylas]

The fratricidal battle between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton is tearing apart the Democratic Party and boosting Republican hopes of victory in November.

Obama leads by almost every measure, but Clinton appears ready to take her party down with her rather than withdraw gracefully. As a result, Republican candidate Senator John McCain is the frontrunner for president.

Republicans are praying Clinton will defeat Obama, and even may be secretly helping finance her campaign. Polls show McCain would defeat her. If Clinton wins nomination through backroom deals by super delegates, many angry black Americans will boycott the November vote, ensuring a Republican victory.
