Hillary wins IL....as much as it pains me, congratulations are in order.

Barring an indictment, she is going to be the nominee.

Congratulations Hillary people. That's the best I can give you.

Elections can have very quick turns. It looks very good for Hillary now, but there are favorable states coming up. It is a long shot, but maybe the momentum helps us in states like PA, NJ, NY.

....is that I looked at the targets and the numbers that were needed today, and tonight was as devastating as it could have been. There's a snowballs chance, and I hope I have to eat every post I've made in the last 10 minutes, but I'm going to start looking harder at state races. Thats where the revolution has to start.
