This waiting sucks. The remaining states should be punished for not moving their contests up and making us wait.

P.S. That was a joke.

Pretending like Pennsylvania will make a difference in that fact at this point is just wishful thinking. The race is close, yes, but it's damn near over at this point and there's just no way she can close the gap.

Face it. The nomination election is a statistical tie. Democracy flounders in these situations. TH]hus we will turn to the pledged delegates.

They will turn their votes to Clinton en masse. You know it, I know it, and the American people know it. It's just a matter of time.

But this endless primary has made both candidates stronger. In the end, the only vote that matters will be the vote AGAINST McCain.

Face it. The nomination election is a statistical tie. Democracy flounders in these situations. TH]hus we will turn to the pledged delegates.

fluteprof is right. Close only counts in horeshoes, hand grenades, and Hillary. It's time Hills wrested this nomination from the man who will wind up with more pledged delegates and more popular votes. Even if she fails in her quest, she can still mortally wound Obama, thereby handing over the general election to her buddy John McCain.

I can't wait for Hillary 2012. You go, Hills!

but elections are not estimates, they are actual counts that represent 100% of the people who voted. notice how no margins of error are reported with election results? that's because there aren't any.

by any standard of democracy, she is losing. and with only a few contests left, she has little to no chance of catching up. yes, of course, the super delegates can throw it to her if they so choose. but she would have one hell of a case to make. how can someone who has lost an election prove themselves "more electable"?

WHAT are they excited about?

i pretty much feel that the future of our republic hinges on DEFEATING her.

Eventually, people start thinking about it and the gap closes or disappears.

I can't wait for the next debate. It's gonna be a good one.

No, I don't know it. Keep dreaming, buddy.

Excellent ad - up beat - good messages about helping real people - she is in control - smart - articulate - vigorous - hugs and warmth - nice work

Hillary is on a roll, obviously good under pressure

Apparently, the HRC campaign is abandoning even the pretense of taking the moral high road.

@16: why is it the inherent low road to raise questions about the rants from Obama's spiritual advisor? Seems to me it goes to the core of what he believes, and, given that loon's sermons, is very revealing.

Besides, as always, most of these polls are "likely voters".

This is not the year of "likely voters".

you seem to think that obama is lying when he says he varies in opinion. clinton suggests this as well -- because those offenses are so great she would leave that church. so obama must, you know, kind of agree or sympathize. if not, he clearly doesn't care about america as much.

if my previous post wasn't clear enough, let me try again: if we are to use the democratic electorate as our gage [as we should, this being a democracy of sorts], SHE CANNOT WIN. there are not enough delegates left for her to overtake obama's lead without crushing defeats in eaach of the remaining states. the superdelegates may give it to her, but that would be a FUCKING RETARDED SUICIDE MISSION FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

it's become pretty clear that hillary doesn't care about the democratic party, but i'm guessing a lot of the superdelegates do. she can stay in the race for all i care, but she's not going to win. it's not an issue of whether or not obama "can win." when the dust settles, he WILL.

Clinton is now using Pastor Wright to beat on Obama, and is faulting Obama for staying with his church.

Apparently, the HRC campaign is abandoning even the pretense of taking the moral high road.

I hate to say it, but I'm really disappointed in Hillary. The way she raised the question about Obama remaining in Wright's congregation--she was being perfectly reasonable. It's a legitimate concern. This whole Wright controversy has definitely thrown Hills off her game.

Are there any spiritual advisor's out there that are NOT loons? Every one of them I have ever met or listened to have said some pretty out there stuff. I thought Wright was right with about 95% of what he said.
