The bottom line: Hillary needed a TKO and didn't get it...she's in trouble
First of all, her campaign isn't even set up to go past Feb. 5th. They have calculated for a year that the race would be over by now. With NY and CA voting, she thought that she would wax the other candidate and easily put her over the top. The campaign never envisioned competing in TX and OH. Also, they are financially tapped. They may have to dip into their own personal wealth to save the campaign. Obama has immense about of money to compete with a more favorable calendar. Obama wanted to just be close in the delegate count, and now it appears he may have actually have a slight lead. The Hillary campaign is in deep trouble, and they know it.

1. Maybe the press will "surprisingly" go on an anti-Obama feeding frenzy ...

2. Money money money money money.
Haven't you figured out that the one with the most money isn't necessarily the best person for the job.

Just refer back to George Bush if you need a refresher.

I don't currently support Hillary or Barack, because I don't think either one of them is the best choice for this country. But it always seems to come down to money with their supporters.

Apparently you haven't noticed that MONEY (greed) is what got us in to this mess in the first place. :eyes:

9. And it's still for all the wrong reasons.
When we get the money out of the campaigns, that's when we'll start getting good people in government.

But not before then. Until then, it will be more of the same and the American people are getting the short end of the stick.

3. Well, I wouldn't underestimate Hillary...
She must be feeling a little stunned, having thought it would be over on Feb. 5th ~ but she's a fighter.

4. Obama needs to go with heavy TV in all primaries
Hit it hard the last three days before each event, and try to run the table in February. He can outspend her now, and should.

5. Sadly, this Clinton supporter agrees.
She's not dead by a long-shot, but I have to concede that Obama is definitely the front-runner now. And the poor guy will get his clock cleaned in November. The rethug hate machine will have a field day; the media will have a feeding frenzy, and he won't know what hit him after the current love-fest dies.

8. I believe the Obama folks have found their theme. Prepare to see thread after thread repeating it.
