    Pssst....

    Everyone listen up!

    I heard that Barack Obama's wife is BLACK!!!!

    YOU HEAR THAT BLACK!!!

    No one has ever won President of the UNITED States without being married to a white woman!

    Sinerely,
    Hillary Clinton!

    I have a question. Someone wrote that the superdelegates do not actually cast their votes until the convention, and I think that is correct. So even if Obama wins enough superdelegates before the convention to cross the finish line of 2025, does that mean that Clinton really is going to fight all the way to the convention to try to wheedle every superdelegate vote she can away from Obama? This is awful because I was hoping Obama could make a European trip before the convention and general election. I think the welcome he would receive there would prove to American voters that Obama would indeed end our growing isolation in the world. If she stays in to the convention (I'm watching my language here so I don't offend any Hillary Lovers), she will continue to wreck Obama's and the party's chances just for her own megalomaniac ambition.

    The frame of reference will change completely when people must compare Obama with McCain.

    In 6 months, McCain can be expected to have made a complete bozo out of himself. You'll see.

    Hillary says that with MI and FL, there are 2209 delegates. Okay, so if Obama gets 1110, will she finally shut up?

    Well, this was Hillary's last chance to withdraw gracefully. Hard to fault her for pressing forward when she won Kentucky with a 30% margin...:

    naschkatzehussein, the superdels can always cast their votes for whomever. The pledged delegates are free to vote for whomever after the first vote. Hillary's chances rest on an inconclusive first vote.

    I expect a capitulation speech from Hillary before midnight. Otherwise, we'll know that she's contracted the "republican" disease

    Oh don't you fret--she has it real bad.

    Oh, I don't. I expect that she will in fact take this all the way to the Convention.
