You know, you might have a future as a writer if this movie thing doesn't pan out.
Seriously, we are all getting tired of the same old gasbags on the TV with the same old narrative. Good to see some insightful commentary on the Democratic Bataan Death March to the White House.

While Hillary's voice still annoys me. She has simply given Obama a guide as to what he needs to do in the Fall. He will have the whole Summer to discuss things with all of these groups who apparently have problems with him. He will criss-cross this country, giving these people time, and listening to their problems. He will get through to them. If you listen to him. If you give him a chance. He may get through to you. This now his task thanks to all of Hillary's sabatage, but I have faith in the dude to pull it off.

Unlike some people around here who believe that the OMWSAC is a viable candidate. Mr. McCain and his lobbyist problem should be interesting come the Fall.

Go read the little children at Daily Kos, who scream that if Clinton "steals the nomination" (they wuz robbed too?) that they won't vote for her. No difference in childish and party-destroying temperment.

I think there's a difference between honest and correct outrage, and being fed a line and believing it.

superb article! one factual thing though. Obama didn't secure anything super-Tuesday. He was still well behind Clinton but managed to win enough small states (and one battleground the bellweather Missouri) to stay in the race, unlike Edwards. Then for the next month Clinton didn't try to compete with Obama and he racked up a dozen consecutive wins in the dreaded 'flyovers' that Clinton cares so little about. That month was before the Clinton campaign came up with the successful racism/elitist&Wright strategy that they pummeled Obama on in West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio. Before Clinton came up with her winning strategy she didn't have a chance in states with demographics similar to Kentucky, Ohio or West Virginia, and she didn't win any of those states early on. it was during the month between super tuesday and texas that Obama took the delegate lead, he was an underdog until they went into texas. fwiw starting with texas the republican primary had wrapped up and by that time republican leaders had seen the writing on the wall regarding Obama's appeal in red states (and Clinton's lack of appeal in the same states) and that's when the campaign to get republicans to vote against Obama rather than participating in the republican primary began hard, and it's probably had a statistically significant impact on the states that came after texas.

But anyway it was indeed a great article. But here's a scary scary thought. If McCain takes Giuliani as his running mate and Obama DOES NOT take Clinton as his running mate will Obama lose New York? I think he very well might.

No, he won't. First, because McCain wouldn't do such a thing, because it would alienate the right wing of his party even more than they already are. But even if he did, it's still one of the most reliably Dem. states in the country and Giuliani's popularity has fallen considerably in the last several years.

It should also be noted that history has shown that the early front-runner (especially in the Democratic party) almost never wins the nomination: Muskie, Glenn, Kennedy, Gephardt, etc. Hillary was fighting an uphill battle from the get-go.

Hillary is running up the white flag.

Christian... there are freaks on both sides. But you have to admit - you HAVE to - that Clinton's argument that committed delegates can be flipped smells more of a "theft" argument than anything Clinton has come up with.

And Locke, you are right. Obama too his 130 delegate lead that never dwindled on March 11.

My apologies.
