Let Hillary keep fighting. Some wiz from the mortgage biz can repackage her loans to her campaign and make them smell a little fresher. If she won't quit then she's Mike Huckabee.

... where "a startling 68 percent" equals 152 more delegates than Obama needs.

(no, I don't think she'll get the nomination.)

Memo to David Plouffe and all the Obamatons who want to say now that the math is the math:
Hillary Clinton isn't casting her lot with the elitist mathematicians. We need a president to represent all the real people who didn't get an A in Algebra--and who resent the dorks who did.

...not to mention the dorks who got a B, a C, or a D in algebra. The hell will y'all and your elitist passing grades. Bill Joe Jim Bob, pour me another shot of, uh, Chivas Regal! Yee haw!

@3 Why do we need a president that resents good math grades again? Oh, right. It's those pesky good students that have been screwing everything up. It wasn't for people who were good at math, I'm sure we'd all be living in pure peace and prosperity! Damn you, nerds! DAMN YOU!

He'd had better win when it counts. In November.

It's not math, it's arithmetic. A fair number of those "uncommitted" superdelegates are certain for Obama, because of the way they are selected (picked by the state chair, who is an Obama supporter, or voted on at the convention by a strong Obama majority). It's not as close as it looks. Obama has 1844 by my count, with 262.5 uncommitted supers who are almost all his -- that puts him over.

Seating FL and MI puts him closer, not further away. With them, he's over 1,950 -- and doesn't even need that many supers.

As long as he sticks to the script in "Don't Think of an Elephant", he does.

If the MSM lets him. I doubt they'll let McCain's adultery on wife #1 with wife #2 into general circulation. But get ready for "Michelle Obama is a Black Nationalist".
