DISQUS

The Clinton campaign is smart enough to do the math. They know the nomination is securely in Barack Obama's hands. Even in a near perfect scenario of Hillary doing much better than expected in all of the remaining primaries and caucuses, she'd still need 76% of the uncommitted delegates to come out and support her. She'd nee to convince 76% of these politicians to overturn the will of the people. Since february 5th, she's gained a net of 5 super deleagtes, while Obama has gained 70!!



Every day that the Clinton camp keeps their campaign alive and focused on bringing down the Eventual Democratic nominee is another day that John McCain gets a free pass. John McCain doesn't need to raise money to attack his opponent. He has Hillary Clinton for that.



It makes one wonder if Hillary truely wants another Democrat to win the White House. If Barack Obama wins in November, Hillary would 68 years old before she could mount another serious run at the White House and after eight years of democratic rule, the fickle electorate might be ready to switch back to a Republican president, as they did after eight years of Bill Clinton, making her election a long shot. However, if McCain wins and continues Bush's failed policies, she could run again at 64 years of age and stand a much better chance of winning.

So... If Clinton wins big after leading by over 20%, she wins but even if she wins a narrow victory and doesn't significantly cut into Obama's pledged delegate lead OR his popular vote lead, Hillary still wins?
How long before the Clinton camp comes up with a positive spin over the possibility of an Obama win in Pennsylvania? Let's see..... Even if Obama pulls out a win in Pennsylvania, it won't be considered a knockout blow unless he wins big. Another state and Obama hasn't knocked her out of the race!!
I can see the parade on Obama's inauguration day with Clinton declaring from her podium, "I can still win this thing! It isn't over!"

The article to which you refer was PRINTED on 9/11. It went to post on 9/10, BEFORE the events of 9/11. The timing was merely coincidental and his comments had nothing to do with 9/11 but was about a book he'd written years earlier about his days with the Weather Men. Nice try though!!
