The way Obama is rolling, I think he's virtually unstoppable right now, through GE. Now that McCain is the eventual Rethuglican nominee, Huck will be dropping out pretty soon, and Hillary should follow suit. I don't think we need to waste any more primary dollars and focus on GE.
Of course, if Hillary wants a nasty fight, then she shall have it, and her "coronation" that was "assured" by 2/5 is never going to happen because her $4.3 million consultant said so way before the primaries started, she needs to rethink her strategy and fire Penn and go populist. That is the only way to save her campaign, but knowing her, she will never go populist because it goes against every vein that DLC represents, and we all know she's DLC through and through.
Sure, delegates will continue to proportion, but the SD's will start heading Obama's way very soon, and that is NOT a good sign for Clinton. Even her SD's will begin to waver and abandon her campaign. Clinton supporters will point out that Kerry and Kennedy's endorsement didn't help, but the problem is that they are superdelegates, and will only commit during the convention time. I promise you that by the time Clinton tries to win Wisconsin, the superdelegates will start abandoning her and endorsing Obama instead, forcing & pressuring Clinton to drop out for good.
Let's try to make this a positive thread. I know I was negative on Clinton, but that's the way it is, and the Potomac Primary tonight was an excellent example because Obama won in a very large margin, and that's going to happen in Wisconsin, Texas and Ohio and the rest of the states that have not voted in.
Michigan and Florida won't even be a factor either.
