Found this comment on truthdig. The only thing I would add is a long primary is ideal as long as we don't have a convention battle.

I hope this contest runs right down to the wire. The longer we can keep Obama and Clinton in front of the voters, the longer we keep the issues that are hurting repubs as much as dems in the spotlight. And since both candidates have similar positions on those issues, that’s a good thing.

Of course there are those who say this gives McCain time to refine and improve his technique, but it also delays a clear definition of attack for the repubs. Besides, McCain can barely raise his voice now. I don’t anticipate he will suddenly become a fire-brand after the dem convention. And not being sure who the candidate is means he has to prepare two strategies. At what point in time will he slip and overlap?
