If this is so, and barring an electoral meltdown, it means Obama needs just a third, roughly, of the remaining superdelegates to get a first-ballot nomination.
Sen. Clintion, I know you like the heat and all that, but isn’t it about time you came out of the oven?
That’s exactly what it means…Lot’s of people are scratching their heads. It doesn’t surprise me Clinton staying in…but I am excited to hear her “exit interview”.
Right. Assuming none of his superdelegates change their minds.
The defections appear to be coming from Clinton’s side primarily…and have been for a while. I think people who analyze the hell out of things like superdelegates … and like some of us here - can see it’s just about impossible for Clinton to wiggle much at all. And if current trend holds the next several primaries will be close with Obama ultimately doing the presidential jig.
Iran complains to UN about Clinton’s ‘provocative’ remarks
Yeah, great job of foreign relations there, Hill!
That won’t hurt her Shayna. John Q Public will prefer that to the head of Hamas saying he hopes you win.
Honest to Og, I just don’t fucking get it. The woman is practically a carbon copy of W. She’s a blatant liar and a blow-hard, willing to step into the office of the Presidency already racking up international enemies. Aren’t we as a nation sick and bloody tired of all the saber rattling and blustering against our “enemies”? Haven’t we seen how disastrous that attitude’s been over the last 7 years? Why on earth would anyone want more of the same, let alone Democrats??? It’s just stunning and bewildering.
Headline: **Iran Fears Clinton; Terrorists Embrace Obama.

It’s a no-brainer.
(Don’t say literally. Don’t say literally.)
Literally.
(D’oh!)
This whole election is a test.
Is America smarter than a fifth grader?
That assumes that political decisions = smart. Fortunately for us that isn’t true.
It’s because of how the media frame and present her. They encourage and enable her. They cover Rev Wright endlessly while saying nothing about Hillary’s Doug Coe. And frankly, many of them are either racist bigots or rabid vultures who actually enjoy trashing Obama.
If it’s Obama v. McCain in the general, it will be true.
One will be George W. Bush, policywise, only even more so. Bigger tax cuts even more tilted towards the rich, just as committed to staying in Iraq forever, and little interest in even the generalities of domestic policy, let alone the details.
The other will have a preacher who’s a Scary Black Man.
If it’s Obama v. McCain, this election will in fact be an IQ test for the American people.
When I recall the words of H.L. Mencken (“Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.”), I fear for my country.
Another superdelegate endorsed Obama today:
Drip, drip,drip. We’re getting there, folks!
And Bloomberg said that Hillary has no idea what she’s talking about, and Obama is right, about the gas tax.
NPR this morning said that most economists are behind Obama on this one as well.
Thirty Helens agree.
Not only is it a ridiculous premise, neither of them can make it happen! You might as well promise people free handjobs from that little number down at the IHOP for all the chance it has of actually happening.
Well, that just means that he’s an Elitist, whereas Hillary is a Scrapper who will fight for the little guy.
Hey, sign me up! I’m writing my donation check now, but I want to make sure I get a bumper sticker out of it too.
Bumper sticker? Hell, I’ll take the handjob!
