yes

Even though Edwards is pretty much irrelevent its just another high profile politician swinging his way and I think this is the end of her chance to win the nomination.

Will she drop out- No. She will finish out the primaries and endorse him at the convention to get all the Dems juiced up.

the media wants her to be badly.


some pundits play it like this whole hillary vs. obama deal is great for the democrats. they got that type of spin going for them. other pundits say its terrible, the media and high ups want it over, so we know its terrible, but the pundits and media will spin it as if its great for the dems if it keeps on going.

hillary could very well and probably will end up with the popular vote but not enough delegates. the media and leading democrats do not want this to be allowed to happen. she knows it will happen, so she goes on. this wont end pretty. she's pissed that she is being marginalized.


so with her winning the popular vote overall if she goes all the way to the convention, who's to say the superdelegates cant come back to her. they moved one way, and the media acts like they are solidified for obama and cant possibly go back to clinton. Who do they get to believe that garbage? lib idiots?

add on the delegates from florida, and we are going to have interesting news for the next couple of months. Hillary + popular vote + close in delegates + ability of superdelegates to change back to her = hillary in race until the very end.

that and she's a great insurance policy if obama f's up real bad.

The only way Hillary can have a shot at winning the popular vote is if you count Michigan and Florida but leave out Iowa, Nevada, Maine and Washington state.

Obama has a lead of 593,610 in popular vote, it will be very hard for Hillary to overcome that... she won't be winning the other primaries by 40%.

Of course he does. Just like every other dem these days. The more it looks like Obama has it locked up, the Hillary supporters are magically Obama supporters. If it were the other way around, they would jumping fences from Obama to Clinton's side.

These politicians are worse than sports fans the way they switch alliances. McGovern just announced a couple of days ago the he supported Obama even though he is always singing the praises of Clinton.

It is such a joke.

Edwards times it perfectly as he pisses on Hillary's WV parade.

Yes it's terrible how SDs are going with the will of the people and adhering to the principles of democracy rather than supporting a rich broad with no grass roots support.
