Clinton is a fool if she thinks she is winning now!
She's still losing the popular vote, she's still losing in total states won and she's still substantially behind in delegates. Just to put it into perspective, Hillary's "big win" only netted her 7 to 10 more delegates than Obama on Tuesday. He's ahead by 100 total, more than 150 among pledged delegates. There are only 12 primaries left and only one --- Pennsylvania --- is large. It's also the only one she has any credible chance of winning.

All the upcoming primaries, save Pennsylvania, favor Obama. Which means it's all but certain that he will finish the nominating process with the majority of pledged delegates. The only way for her to win is for the super-delegates to overturn the will of the Democratic voters.

Why are the Clinton's always fucking spinning? Why can't these two douchebags ever play it straight with us? Why are they always so manipulative?

This is why Hillary is losing in the first place!

All Hillary did on Tuesday was survive. She didn't take the lead in anything.

9. the media needs it the most
don't know what they'd do without keeping this irrelevant idiocy going on. It is indeed over with and they need the stories and the money.

Time to move on please, but oh no, the media won't.

4. She's out of money anyway
if she gets enough of a bump out of Ohio she may go into Pennsylvania debt free (except the 5 mil she owes herself of course) - that's as good as it gets.

7. Please edit
It's 5 million plus interest. Why should she have to pay that off with her 2006 income if she can convince some suckers that haven't maxed out their contributions to pay off her LOAN.

15. She's not winning. That's for sure.
Last time I checked there are only two other options. Being tied, which she's not since Obama is up in delegates. Then there's the other option.

She's not losing by much. But she is currently losing, though that may change.

6. Calling the Clintons "douchbags" is unnecessary
There are people who find the word "douchbag" offensive and sexist. There are other words you could choose that would put across the same meaning. If the democrats are going to win this election, a good first step would be to give up the name calling. :)

8. That's all they needed to hold off those that might ask if
Edited on Wed Mar-05-08 09:17 PM by mmonk
it might be soon time to leave. The next step is to bloody the frontrunner in a drawn out fight with the salivating media and republican base behind her attempts cheering her on. This hopefully will get her what she needs is the thinking and pulling in those political favors to insure the end game.

10. Don't like the insulting tone of this one, Obamaniac. If we're ahead...
why not remain strong but graceful?

The swearing and insults undermine your case.

11. Another poster is correct..
The term "douchebag" is too good for them.

13. And the band played on...
As the Democratic Party sinks like the Titanic, with Hillary as the iceberg. She's not in it to win it, at least not the old-fashioned way. She knows she can't at this point. She's privy to the same numbers and projections as the rest of us. She's depending on a strong-arm victory or to cripple the DNC to the point where she can be revered as the one who helped it rise from the ashes after ANOTHER four years of Republican rule.

17. MI/FL
could revote or be counted as is, which could actually change things quite a bit.
