"...Hillary must know that she cannot possibly win the nomination by any rational standard. Hence the comic moment on Tuesday when her finance chairman Terry McAuliffe was asked to define what Mrs Clinton would invoke as a fair claim on the Democratic nomination. McAuliffe said it would either be a victory in the popular vote in Democratic primaries and caucuses -- including Michigan and Florida – (a very remote contingency) or a lead in the pledged delegates (an impossibility) or a lead among Superdelegates (among whom, since March 6, HRC has collected 12 and Obama 88) or there would be a consensus among party leaders that Obama is incapable of beating McCain. Obama is still ahead of McCain, though thanks to Mrs Clinton’s efforts the margin is narrowing.

In other words there’s no rational scenario here, except the one suggested here by St Clair a month ago that her real aim is to ensure a McCain victory this year and come back in 2012.

In two weeks comes the Indiana primary which will probably be close. Obama is likely to win North Carolina, South Dakota, Montana and Oregon. Hillary will most likely win West Virginia, Kentucky and Puerto Rico. At the end of the day Obama ends up 150-160 pledged delegates ahead of her, and about a 500,000 edge in the popular vote. He will have won about 32 states against HRC’s 20.

So on we straggle."

statueman It looks to me like a lot of Americans are ready now for a Black President from what I see first hand. Who said it would be a cake walk.And certaintly not for a black man who has to be three times as good as any one else.I see some continues to keep race as the front issue for everyone to be reminded,butI thought it was time to move to another subject but this continues to keep coming up.

Aaaahh don't listen to me. I'm just feeling alittle bitter. But Praise God I'm going to visit my cousins in the Ozarks and we're planning on going coon huntin. Yeah...

ddain, yup... and the silent majority think just as you do. At least I think they do... it may be that I talk too much to know.

media... I'm just sad, you know, bitter because I can't help feeling embarrassed watching this election with Bill calling Obama on playing the race card and then saying he said nothing of the sort. Guess he wanted to trump the race card with the joker... that is how it works when you play spades, right? I could keep that one going but I might mix a metaphor or two. Suffice it to say when I go to church this Sunday I might just miss the fact that I'm not at the one in Chicago. Republican Christian rhetoric can be just as bad. Guess I'll just focus on the family and pretend the ghetto's don't exsist.

I'm not even going to mention the Spades remark.

I think I've found the big hairy monster, and her name is Hillary. And, yes, I still continue to beat my kids on a regular basis just to remind them who's in charge. Screw being subtle... tell it like it is. We're all adults here, even though sometimes we don't act it.

Some funny digs at words here Statueman and Voodoo Dog! But now I'll get to my point quickly.

I've been getting emails from Newsmax.com, and it appears that Rush Limbaugh is taking some credit for the Hillary Clinton wins in Pennsylvania. He's been urging his listeners to register as Democrats, then vote for Hillary, so that the in fighting would continue until the bitter end. Whether that's the cause remains to be seen, but I'm finding this rather comical. It reminds me of the years when the Republicans had at it, while the Democrats stayed focused. It looks like the tables have turned over, and it keeps rolling over and over for the Democrats. I just might do another political post with a sense of humor in it...my follow up to the "my condolences blogs" (this time for MyFoxPhilly)...and who knows what I'll put in it? The other two are now in the archives.

Also...Kudos to you, Craftyguy, Jay, Media, and ddain!

By the way, voodoodog, do you have any blogs?

"Mr. E" from Cypress

Yeah... Brook got lucky if you ask me.

Anyway... I'm glued to the TV waiting for Hillary to drop out of the race to save face. It's the 25th you know... In stead all I'm seeing is Wright with Moyers and Hamas endorsing Obama. Yikes ... from my January 2007 blog "A Muslim for President?"
________________________________
OK, so here's my poetic take on it. Don't worry, Senator Barack Obama will not become the next president. Hillary won't either. We will elect John Mc Cain and the vote will not be split he will win decisively. However the war in Iraq will escalate and we will be embroiled in a border war with Iran before the year 2009. At this time Senator Barack Obama will go to the middle east and broker a peace treaty that will be widely accepted as one of the most ingenious idea's since the Declaration of Independence.
