Hillary's only competition now is Edwards
Advertisements [?]
I no longer consider Obama a threat to Hillary's nomination. He seems to have already accepted defeat, and is now positioning himself to be on Hillary's good side. Obama has toned down all the attack rhetoric and is rather polite to Hillary in debates, he knows she has a temper and if he wants to be relevant he better start saying nice things.

I'm glad Obama has recognized he could do important things with Hillary as president, and it was perhaps a mistake to run for president.

Obama's campaign from here on out will be a non-threatening one to Hillary and Obama will eventually drop out gracefully, endorsing Hillary soon after.

Edwards on the other hand, has stepped up the attacks and seems to really want to win and defeat Hillary. I have to respect that he has the backbone to take Hillary on directly, knowing it might end his political career if he loses to her.

Edwards will be a formidable opponent, and I won't be surprised to see him vault to the second position sooner rather than later as Obama loses support.
