There are some encouraging signs out of California and maybe Georgia, but neither is enough to stop the McCain Train from winning some critical winner-take-all states and roaring ahead in the delegate count. McCain has become inevitable, and all the sniping of the talk-show hosts can’t seem to stop him or even slow him down. Romney needs some earth-shattering event to shift the narrative, and there doesn’t seem to be one on the horizon.\u00a0<\/div>\n
