Neither Clinton nor Obama can win enough delegates.

I think both of them need to swallow their pride and form a joint ticket.

Before the convention someone needs to take Clinton and Obama into an oak-panelled room and have a few well-chosen words in their ears.

I'm sure that the superdelegates will be forced to choose. But I also think that Clinton needs Obama on her ticket;but Obama does not need her on his ticket.
You're being polite here; Gary. They don't need words in their ears; they need boots in their a**es!
On this issue, both can be faulted. The Deomcratic Party will be torn asunder from all their internal bickering- most of which didn't even have to do with issues.

It's because the democratic party is run by the republicans.
This is my new signature.

Actually, Obama can get enough delegates after the remaining states and the factoring in of the remaining superdelegates who haven't declared support.

Clinton, however, short of overwhelming landslide victories in all the remaining states, cannot.

Her continued presence is probably hurting the Democratic Party's chances in November, but dropping out might hurt it too. I think it's best for Clinton to stay in the race but to stop throwing bullshit and hoping it sticks.

Agreed, Kat. This is what hurts Clinton's credibility. And she has never won a really large victory margin. I think this is why she is getting the pressure to quit. With Pennslyvania coming up next- and with Senator Bob Casey's endorsement of Obama- the big victory she needs looks very dim. This may be the telling day for Hillary; because as I've said before, each passing day that Obama stays ahead is another day that more and more superdelegates will commit to Obama. He is getting another endorsement today from a Minnesota senator; a superdelegate. I cannot recall her name; but I'm sure we will see it on CNN.

How about Ohio??


I think this is why she is getting the pressure to quit.

Many of Obama's victories have been close with only a tiny margin


With Pennslyvania coming up next- and with Senator Bob Casey's endorsement of Obama- the big victory she needs looks very dim.

Hillary has the backing of the Governor of Pa Ed Rendell, and all the polls show her to have a comfortable lead.



This may be the telling day for Hillary; because as I've said before, each passing day that Obama stays ahead is another day that more and more superdelegates will commit to Obama.

He is getting another endorsement today from a Minnesota senator; a superdelegate. I cannot recall her name; but I'm sure we will see it on CNN.
The more big states vote for Hillary the more the superdelegates may have to re-think their positions.

The margin between them is so small Hillary would be making a huge mistake if she abandoned all those supporters and the millions of voters who have given her 1500 delegates so far.

I still think a joint ticket is the right answer.

Fortunately, either one should be able to beat the venerable but geriatric John McCain and his more-of-the-same Bush lite message.
