Nah. I don't see it now. She's going all the way to Denver. Stir up as much shit as she can, and then build up to a huge moment when she turns over her delegates to Obama and steals all of the super delegates thunder.

I'll bet you $20 she doesnt make it to the convention.Her campaign manager said this will be over by June and Howard Dean said he won't let it get to that point.This is all about her going out on top.After Kentucky she's going to lose 3 states in a row and lose big in Oregon which has a lot of delegates.If she sticks around for those beating she goes out looking like a loser.If she leaves after Kentucky she looks like the happy warrior with a ton of popular vote who for the good of her country and party stepped aside to fight another day.

Hmm... That makes sense. I haven't checked the delegate count lately, I think Obama is about 200 short now? Anyway he could get the delegates he needs before the convention?

If, like you say, she drops out prior to the last few states primaries, then could Obama get enough to lock it up? I guess it doesn't matter.

It doesnt matter.The superdelegates are whats going to put him over the edge to get the nomination.This is all a formality.

Yeah, I know its a formality. I'm just trying to figure out what they are doing to build up the moment. You know they have strategists that are all working together right now to make that convention "must see".

The GOP convention is going to look like a tomb.

Black guy who makes great speeches running for president guarantees people will be tuned into the convention.Right now Hillary is calculating the best point for her to get out and maybe get asked to be VP or set herself up for 2012.I don't think his campaign and hers are working together on this.The Clintons are facing the harsh reality that even though 9 months ago they were they are now not the leaders of the democratic party and a one term senator took it away from them.Not sure they know how to handle it.

The GOP convention is in Minneapolis.Can you feel the excitment?Mccain has to have a deep hatred of GWB.First he fucks him by spreading lies about a black love child and then he tanks mccains chances at being president by leading the GOP into it most unpopular territory it's ever been in.Mccains bread and butter is terrorism and national security but the economy is so fucked up thats taken a back seat.

"Poor, rural, working-class white folks in Appalachia didn’t vote for the rich urban former law professor senator from Chicago. They went for the rich urban former law professor senator born in Chicago instead. But since the vote went so overwhelmingly in one direction rather than the other, and rich urban former law professor senators with Chicago ties are otherwise largely interchangeable, there has to be another controlling factor here. I can’t think what it might be, though. Maybe it will come to me if I think about it.

Oh, wait, I know now. Poor, rural, working-class white folks from Appalachia wanted to strike a blow for feminism. Well, way to go, West Virginia! You’ve certainly done that. And now, clearly, you’ve shown that you’re the most feminist state in all the union."

I don't understand. If Obama wins would he not be up for re-election in 2012? Can Hillary challenge the current president for the democratic candidacy in the 2012 election? Or is this in the event that Macain wins the election?

She can challenge him but won't unless theres some type of scandal.I'm talking if Mccain wins.She'll be the I told you so candidate and point to her delegate count and all the popular vote she got.Democrats don't like losers so if she doesnt go out on a high note she'll end up like the dukakis's and kerry's of the world,losers never to be heard from again on the national stage.

With Edwards endorsement of Obama this evening, the playing field was leveled a little.

Edwards couldnt win his own state when he was Kerrys VP.

The two governors, Charlie Crist, of Florida, and Bobby Jindal, of Louisiana, have both accepted invitations to meet with McCain at his home in Arizona, according to Republican familiars with the decision. One Republican said that Mitt Romney, a former rival of McCain for the presidential nomination wasalso expected to visit him this weekend. Romney's advisers declined to comment.

These are the biggest clowns you could find to be vp.The gop is done.
