Bruce Reed at Slate turns in a pretty compelling reason to applaud this race continuing. (http://www.slate.com/id/2185187/). I'm not sure I agree with this, though:
"Contrary to the conventional wisdom, the biggest beneficiaries of a protracted battle for the nomination are the two contestants themselves. Primaries are designed to be a warm-up for the general election, and a few more months of spring training will only improve their swings for the fall."
I don't agree that more batting practice will outweigh the detriments of hitting each over the head repeatedly, but watching history unfold is entertaining. Aspiring politicians, sharpen your pencils, you won't get another one like this ...
