But I don't count ClintonInc. out. They will not go down without a nasty, desperate, bare-knuckled fight. Musical tribute --- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGE4dnrPPZQ

3. I think she would make a good President but |

I think we have to take Bill with her and after Bush Jr. who wants these old families running every thing? I just hate even thinking about these same old people.

In three weeks, a pampered rock star with overconfident followers can do a lot of damage to himself.

I wouldn't bet that he will either. This is not a race you can wait for someone to lose. I think this whole "firewall" schtick is misguided and silly on the part of HRC haters since it ignores the simple matter of the order the states vote in has streaks that favor either one, and of course since HRC has already won many states - only idiots would compare that to Rudy. That said, waiting for and expecting Obama to implode isn't a great strategy for Hillary fans either - his campaign has been very well played so far obviously enough.

...what? Delegate count IIRC is about 21 delta between the two. Will probably go up in WI as open primaries and history favor BO there, but won't change by a huge amount. Let's say she goes into TX and OH 30 or so behind with lots of fungible superdelegates left even if you assume they will normally go with the pledxged delegate leader (I do). TX and OH have huge numbers of pledged delegates. I'm not sure I see where the substantive reason for a necessity of a 20pt win comes from.

8. Has she done that anywhere so far? |
|
Just about all the real blowouts have been Obama's so far. And now he looks stronger than ever.
Among those who are still undecided, I think as many Democrats will be looking to put him over the top as there will be people who want to keep her going. It's time to find the secret Obama photo file if you're on the other side now.
