On the other hand, once it's clear that the convention will most definitely be brokered after it's announced that Florida certainly DOES count for more than anyone can figure now, I'd say that Obama will still have the best chance to be the Democratic candidate for Vice President.
I've already accepted that Clinton will be the candidate. Limbaugh is already telling republicans to pull the same strategy they did in 92, which is vote for dems in the primaries, then vote for them in the election, that way when the sh!t hits the fan, it's not one of their guys in their.
Obama will of course be allowed a "Bush 84" style run, where he can criticize his boss before taking the nomination in 2016.
Hillary carries women votes, and from both sides. Obama carries the black vote. We should NEVER underestimate the black vote. Some women get mother's day, while black people get ALL of february. Do THAT math!
And undergo fits of bruxism thinking "Florida doesn't count".

What facts are you talking about, Obamossama? I suppose a video that shows you praying in mosque in Indonesia!!

Sadly (on both counts), you are mostly right, KB. This time, I hope you're wrong.

It is a mess of the Deansters own making. What do you think the voters in Michigan, and Florida will do if the Democrats refuse to give them the vote at the Convention? If they get the vote they will vote for the one person fighting for them, Hillary. She will win Pennsylvania by a large margin. She is only a hundred or so delegates behind, and there are 796 Super delegates. She would be foolish to drop out now to help some Black Nationalist sympathizer.

I wouldn't give the nomination to Obama just yet. I suspect that the Rev Wright 'issue' hasn't died down yet and will continue to drive voters away from Obama. The latest polls have shown him losing significant strength. That loss in strength may persuade the remaining states and the super delegates to go with Clinton by enough numbers (and somehow Michigan and Florida will figure into the mix) to make it interesting at the convention. I may be whistling in the dark but as I said, I won't crown Obama just yet.

Even if obama lost to hillary 64% to 36% for EVERY State left, he still wins with the most pledged delegates... And that even includes if Mighican and Florida delegates are seated.
Math doesnt lie. The ONLY way hillary can win is if the super delegates make a large shift to her, which at this point is not happening.

Two facts you seem to overlook. McCain is beating Obama by 8 points, and Clinton by 10 points. And the Superdelegates can change their support right up until the Convention. That is the reason for their being, they are there to pick the most electable candidate. If Obama keeps getting beat up for his support of his Black Nationalist Pastor his Superdelegates could decide he is not as electable as he once was, and there are more Spiritual Wright tapes yet to be heard.

"The ONLY way hillary can win is if the super delegates make a large shift to her, which at this point is not happening."
Don't count on it - if Hillary makes a strong showing in PA - say 56% - she will capture the super delegates, because as it would stand neither she or Obama would have enough pledged delegates to get the nomination outright.
I believe the super delegates will flock to her when they see she has the power to win the large swing states & Obama doesn't.
Let him carry Iowa & vermont - she can carry states such as Ohio over McCain.

Remember 2006? Swearing in the first woman Speaker of the House, going to Impeach the Pres., and the V P, surrender in Iraq, bring home the troops? She lied. Democrats are still lying to get your vote. I was convinced I would have a Democrat President in 08. Once again they are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

If I blame the Democrats for anything it's for underestimating how poorly educated and assbackwards neocons are. They should have known they'd have a tough time based on the remaining few hopelessly brain-dead sheep who still support Bush. Oh well...Live and learn. ;-(

I wouldn't count Clinton out yet. The super delegates may be fed up with Obama and his revelations. They could go any way, the delegates endorsing Obama, could in the light of the exposes, think twice of their vote, BUT the Electoral College does have the last word. All I can say is no matter who wins the election, heaven help us all.

I can't believe that ANY Democrat is even CONSIDERING going against the vote of the people. After the 2000 election and the amount of screaming and yelling that went on about the system. If the DEMOCRATS f*cked the system like the Republicans did in 2000, the Democratic Party would cease to exist. UNLIKE Republicans who are SO partisan that they would vote for Osama Bin Ladan (if he were the Republican nominee) Democrats (in general) aren't. They will vote for Republican or Independents or Green Party candidates if they are the better candidate.

Ultimately, does it matter whether Obama or Clinton wins the nomination? Yes, it does. Whichever one wins will face Senator McCain this fall. One of them will face Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and have to fight one of the deepest recessions since the 1929 Stock Market Crash. The financial crises of the housing and credit lending markets will surely sink whoever wins the election.
As for the article, I think the author takes considerable liberty at counting out the Clintons. They are a powerful force with quite a few delegates. Be assured that even if Senator Clinton loses the nominating process, she will have a say in the government in 2009. The other half of the party may not swiftly unify behind Obama.

Like you shoved it into yourself the hate spewed by your black supremacist pastor Jeremiah Wright??? Just to remind you, he is right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZ38N8OUg3Q&feat...
Obamossama is toasted! He and his America-hating wife do not deserve to be anywhere near the White House! He tried to bamboozle us!!!
