The talking heads were spinning (as in "The Exorcist") late last night and again this morning over at MSNBC, where there has been an unseemly haste to shove Hillary Clinton out of the Democratic presidential race and anoint Barack Obama.

But in the wake of Tuesday's victories in Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island, reports of Clinton's political death have been greatly exaggerated (Obama managed to win his 12th -- or was it 13th? -- contest in a row in Vermont earlier in the evening, but it went downhill from there.)

Obama and the pundits continue to insist that the delegate count is in the Illinois senator's favor, but everything is shaping up to be a grand stalemate by the time both candidates get to the Democratic National Convention in Denver in late August.

That may be why Clinton was on the news shows this morning hinting at the possibility of sharing the ticket with Obama -- with her at the top, of course, The Associated Press is reporting.

On the other hand, the Politico is saying this morning that Clinton has learned a big lesson from her victories -- that attacking Obama works.

And the Clinton campaign is girding for a tough campaign over the next seven weeks (until the final big-state primary in Pennsylvania) and beyond and plans some bruising procedural struggles over superdelegates and the "lost" votes from Michigan and Florida, the Politico reported. 

Could it all end up -- as mystery novelist and screenwriter turned maverick blogger Roger L. Simon asks this morning -- here?
