Hillary Clinton has NOT secured this nomination. She can still be defeated |
|
The delegate counts are very close. As of this morning, via CNN, Clinton has a total of 783 while Obama has 709. (That includes super delegates, and let's assume they don't change their minds).
While it pains me to say that the media and the corporations have once again decided the choices, and they are "bad" and "worse", there is no reason to choose "worse".
The time has come for all Kucinich supporters, Gravel supporters, Edwards supporters, Biden supporters, Dodd supporters, Richardson supporters, Gore supporters, to work together in order to make certain that Hillary Clinton does not win this nomination. That means voting for Obama, no matter the bad taste that may leave in your mouth.
Don't let the DLC once again hijack the party. The stakes are too high this time.

2. Completely agree, but don your flamesuit |

They are hungover from their "victory" last night, so it might not be too bad. But it's going to get nasty.

Yes the life of the party and the country is at stake so let us not be flatten by the HRC lobby machine of moderation and identity politics.

6. Welcome to DU! The Clinton machine is going to get nasty now |
|
They will be desperate to take the "momentum" and come out swinging against Obama - even though its essentially a tie with many states left that bode very well for Obama.
I'm looking forward to seeing Obama move forward. I'm not looking forward to the smear machine of the Clinton campaign kick into overdrive. They have nothing aside from a promise to go back to the 90's instead of addressing our future.

Quoted from your post, and true.

8. That is odd. Earlier it was HC 823 OB 731 |
|
After checking it appears that CNN took away the California delegates from both.
