Bad news for the Clinton Campaign. The DLC is hedging its bets.

Is this just another of many signs that the Clinton Campaign is over? She's already trying to move the goalposts again in PA. She goes into it with a twenty point lead (which btw still isn't enough to win a majority over Obama)and now her campaign says a victory is at 6%?

Hell, even Ed Rendell was hedging yesterday on the overall campaign.

I just hope she learns some grace real soon.

1. I'm not holding my breath
For Grace. She'll be dragged from the convention floor well after Obama has been named the presumptive nominee kicking and screaming trying to convince Obama delgates to switch.

Is an Obama supporter I suggest we name him and several of his wrestler friends as delegates from Florida when they reach a compromise. I think they can help when the time comes.

4. I sincerely hope it doesn't come to that. I'd be more worried about protests and the repsonse by --
LE if she somehow should slink away with the nomination. Whats really important is that Obama will have a majority on the credentials committee plus who ever Dean appoints (you know they aint supporting hill). The credentials committee is the ruling body of the party at the convention.

5. After the recent add in PA
Hulk Hogan dragging her off the stage would be fitting...and would win us votes in the white male demographic I might add.

...a twenty-point lead (which...isn't enough to win a majority over Obama)...

Hillary's margin has to be 30% for it to be ANY kind of a victory--not only in PA, IN, or KY, but in ALL TEN of the remaining contests.

8. A decisive victory for Clinton in PA is defined as:
5 points less than her actual total, whatever that might be. :eyes:
