Clinton may lose key supporters soon...
"It would be most beneficial if we resolved this nomination sooner rather than later," said U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, a high-profile superdelegate who backs Clinton. "The more time we have to get through a general-election period and the more time we have to prepare in advance of the convention, the better."
*********snip***********
"She'll do the right thing for America, and I don't think we're going to fight this at the convention," said Pennsylvania Gov. Edward G. Rendell, a top Clinton supporter and party superdelegate, speaking on CBS. "Because even were we to win it, unless it's going to change enough delegates for Sen. Clinton to get the nomination, then it would be a fight that would have no purpose."

Alice Huffman, a member of the rules panel and a superdelegate committed to Clinton, said she would not support an appeal if Obama had clearly won the delegate fight.

"What's the point for a challenge, if a challenge doesn't change the status of anything?" asked Huffman, the president of the California branch of the National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People.

1. Hillary really isn't concerned about losing supporters or votes
She's still convinced that she can threaten and manipulate her way into being the nominee.

5. There were race riots in Denver and I wasn't invited?
Or were they averted after Obama personally called off the hysterical mob that he sent to intimidate people?

Link please?

Pretty please?

12. how did you manage to pull THAT one out of your ass, poopoo?

2. Does the Lieberman for Connecticut party still exist?
Hillary could probably get their nomination if she worked at it.

11. Sure can..
State Delegate.. not a National Delegate.. I was elected at my county convention, remained a Clinton delegate at my district convention.. but I can no longer support her push for the nomination. I have nothing personal against either candidate, but I know when it's time to call it a game and move on to the real battle.. capturing the Presidency.

Obama can, and we will.
