Hell, I might even vote for the guyn and just hope Congress can stave off Universal healthcare for another 4 years.. | I told a friend of mine that after Obama's showing in Super Tuesday the very same thing (in different words, though). He was the true winner. With that amount of support shown among the people; Obama is for all intents and purposes either the Democratic nominee, or he must be part of the ticket. But he will have to be one or the other. There is no other path for the Dems now. |

First of all, I would like to know exactly what she defines "experience". I don't call her marraige to Bill in itself experience.
My father has a favorite saying that is applying to Hillary these days: "It doesn't matter how many times you kick a dead dog. It still isn't going to bark". I think she needs to make some grand move as a congresswoman to get back on her feet- like actually introducing some bill on these issues that she says that she can solve. Otherwise, her engine room is taking on more and more water, and the pumps cannot keep up with the Obama flooding. | Speaking of dead dogs, mine came into my dreams overnight. 
I heard this morning that the polls in Ohio and Pennsylvania slightly favors Hillary for now. We shall see if she can keep her boat afloat.

I am curious though, as I want to compare this to JFK. Did JFK garner enough delegates before the convention in 1960? I've wondered if those delegates who originally pegged Lyndon Johnson decided to go with Kennedy instead?
