3. welcome

[IDemo]

4. --> Sound of bookbag hitting wall

[tekisui]

6. Bookbag hitting wall....

under sniper fire.

[lisa58]

19. lol

[Cha]

22. Followed by an immediate press release

that these Delegates do not count but hilary will be trying to steal them between stump speeches.

[DerekJ]

25. hahahaha ,,, fucking hilarious

:rofl:

[dchill]

59. It's a lonely sound.

[Bigleaf]

5. How could anyone not see that this is over? She's fucking going backwards.

[thewiseguy]

7. Thank you!

[Botany]

8. One might see how the wind is blowing

2 for Obama and one less for Hillary :bounce:

[tekisui]

9. In the past 2 1/2 weeks: 14 SD's for Obama, -1 for Hillary.

That says it all.

[Botany]

10. In mid March it was ....

.... 65 to 4 for Obama since super tuesday.

[Raine]

11. GREAT news!

:bounce: I don't see how there is anyway that Obama isn't going to be the nominee!

[Tarheel_Dem]

12. She is definitely, and very publicly bleeding support at this point...

but I still won't call for her to drop out. This is a decision she'll have to make on her own. I'm just afraid that her exit is going to be less than graceful. But, it's still her decision.

[tekisui]

13. I agree with every word you said,

It is her call. It is up to her to decide when she accepts the loss.

[DesertFlower]

15. i think she'll fight till the end. nt

[Tarheel_Dem]

41. I think she will too, but it's how she leaves the race that will determine

her future, IMHO. For the party's sake, I don't want her to feel she was pushed out by Obama or his surrogates. I want her & her supporters to come to that realization on their own. And once the money has dried up, she'll eventually have to accept that. I think there's a reason Obama's outraising her 2:1, and that reality can't be lost on her and her supporters.

[DesertFlower]

42. i don't either. i'm an obama supporter,

but i want him to win the nomination in a fair way. i don't think she should drop out now. it's still to close. if and when he is the nominee, i don't want it to be questioned.

[ginnyinWI]

43. meanwhile, the delay is raising a lot of money for Obama.

I wonder if he can roll that money over into the general election? Otherwise it seems like he'll have a lot left over.

40 million in March. That's over a million and a quarter a day.

[helderheid]

14. I know Helen!

ETA I was surprised and disappointed to see who she was supporting. This helps!

[Cha]

24. Wonder what it was that got her

in the "uncomitted column"?

[helderheid]

28. I may have to drop her a note and ask!

[Cha]

31. That would be precious

if she candidly told you.

[helderheid]

36. I'll see what I can do ;)

[FightingIrish]

16. I'd like to believe the end is in sight and we can turn our

attention to stopping the downward slide that began in 2000. Shortly, the disruptors will move on and we can restore peace and civility at DU. Sadly we have let these people lower the tone of a place that has always felt like home to me. I hope the Clintons will realize that they have a responsibility to enable the healing in our party.

[anigbrowl]

17. Math = hate

These people who keep endorsing Obama are just dumbasses, nowhere near as smart as the Clinton supporters here on DU. remember, the RULES say she can still win.

[chill factor]

63. it cannot happen...no matter how you want it

Clinton would need to win at 64% of the vote in all remaining contests, but one (PA) where she would need to win 65% of the vote to secure the lead in pledged delegates.
http://www.slate.com/id/2185278/

It is not going to happen. Senator Obama also picked up 17 pledged delegates over the weekend to Hillary's 1. Eight of those pledged delegates had been in Edward's camp.

[milkyway]

18. It's like water torture.

[Erin Elizabeth]

20. Great news!

Happy to hear it.

I just got chills imagining a really horrible awkward withdrawal of Clinton from the race in which she sort of has a three year old type meltdown.

I hope that doesn't happen. Ug.

[Scurrilous]

21. Good news.

K & R :thumbsup:

[usregimechange]

23. Montee endorsed Obama in 2007.

[JBoy]

26. It's time. Hillary needs your donations. Stat.

[quantass]

27. .

[Zhade]

29. Sweet. The liar will eventually have to accept her loss.

NT!

[PBS Poll-435]

32. Never really have a lot to say do you. Always in the title.....

[Zhade]

46. I pride myself on my ability to craft succinct, if terse, summations of my point.

Thank you for noticing.

[PBS Poll-435]

62. At least you wrote something in the body this time. Other than, of course,

NT!

[Upton]

30. Keep 'em comin'

[thevoiceofreason]

33. And really, two more - both DC add-ons are likely Obama, but Demcon is nothing if not careful

They are waiting for something darn-tooting attributable first.

That would put the margin at 25 for supers - damn that's good!

[Zhade]

47. clinton's campaign could learn something from DCW on fact-checking.

NT!

[tekisui]

53. The DC add-ons split.

One for Obama, one for Hillary.

[thevoiceofreason]

60. I heard that

I think I got my add-ons confused with my PLEO's. My bad.

[FrenchieCat]

34. getting closer.......

watch and listen.

[ORDem]

35. k&r, sweeett!!

:kick: :woohoo:

[Renaissance Man]

37. Imagine

Could you guys imagine Hillary being escorted out of the Convention after being pepper sprayed, yelling at Bill...

"All of that humiliation after you received oral and I stood by you and for what... nothing... NOTHING!"

LOL

[Divernan]

39. When she finally allows herself to feel/face all that humiliation, it will be melt-down time.

Imagine the unholy strength of will it has taken for her to deny the pain of his constant and repeated choice of women far less intelligent and educated than her - That 12 year affair with Gennifer Flowers must have started when Chelsea was a toddler.

HRC should have cut her losses re her failed marriage about 25 years ago. She seems unable to admit a mistake and get on with her remaining choices in life. That is a quality one definitely does not want in a president. If Lyndon Johnson and subsequent presidents operated like that, the US would still be fighting in Vietnam.

[Life Long Dem]

52. I think she can realize this, but then there is the 2012 run where she pushes for McSame.

So, just as we see very little chance of her winning now, but still see her in the race. So will it be even if she loses every state until the convention.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

38. Clinton now needs 59.2% of all remaining pledged + super delegates to win the nomination

[me b zola]

40. K&R!

:thumbsup:

[phrigndumass]

44. Late Update: +1 more for Obama, +1 for Clinton

now Obama 219, Clinton 246

Huckabee Index down to 67! Only 67 more superdelegate endorsements for Senator Obama needed to put the nomination out of reach mathematically for Senator Clinton.

:woohoo:

[Tarheel_Dem]

45. who are these two SD's? nt

[phrigndumass]

49. Alexander (DC) for Obama, Thomas (DC) for Clinton

Yvette Alexander is an add-on SD from DC, for Obama.

Harry Thomas, Jr., is an add-on SD from DC, for Clinton.

:hi:

[Tarheel_Dem]

50. thank you.....

:woohoo:

[SunsetDreams]

48. Awesome!!

Go Obama!!!

Thank you for posting :)

[Life Long Dem]

51. Yep!

Just the facts Jack!

[JayFredMuggs]

54. Does Hillary have any more Superdelegates to lose?

[tekisui]

56. She still has 246 of them. A vast majority of those lined up before

Super Tuesday, and have been hanging in there. I'm sure many are twitching to jumpship.

[tekisui]

61. Make that 245.

:)

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

55. Corzine opened the door to a possible switch.

New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine (D), who has already endorsed Sen. Hillary Clinton, said in a CNBC interview this morning that he may cast his vote at the Democratic convention for Sen. Barack Obama if Clinton doesn't win the popular vote.

While Corzine emphasized he still thinks Clinton will win the popular vote, he did open the door to a possible switch.

[tekisui]

57. Wow. Corzine is a big time Hillary Supporter.

I have thought for some time, because of the statements of many SD's, they will break for the leader before or at the Convention. It is good to hear it from a loyal Clinton Supporter like Corzine.

[sniffa]

58. I was just going to post this, but wanted to make sure it wasn't a dupe

So here's a K&R. :kick:
