Blacks are behind Obama now. The DNC cannot afford to backtrack on the FL and Michigan delegates ... or a brokered convention if he’s ahead ... without risking being called “racist”.

Wonderful problem to watch!

Her carefully staged “come back” will thrill the throngs of media lefties.

Her choice of Obama as Veep will cause them gushes of titillation.

Their combined candidacy will be portrayed as part of the cresting wave of history ...

...and the media fools will cite endlessly the assertion that there is an unbridled enthusiasm among all democrat voters and the legions of easily bamboozled "independents".

Yeah, lull the Obama supporters into a sense of complacency, and then slam 'em!

I don't think either Clinton is likely to give up just because the voters say so.

Did Bill Clinton ever win a majority of the popular vote?

Maybe McCain will take her on as his VP running mate.

Would you want to be the last man standing between Hillary and her throne? McCain would end up having one of those mysterious Arkansas heart attacks.

in 1992, Bill Clinton got 43% of the popular vote, and in 1996, got slightly less than 50%. Both years, Ross Perot was a candidate. Bill won big victories in the Electoral College each time, though.

“Blacks are behind Obama now. The DNC cannot afford to backtrack on the FL and Michigan delegates ...”

Haven’t seen an article on this, but from personal observations, there is some antipathy between blacks and hispanics. Hillary seemed to play the black/white race card after Louisiana’s loss, but in Texas, it is the latino demographic that I think she will play to.

Glad I belong to a party where we actually debate ideas and policies — well at least some of the time.

I want to see the biggest food fight in history at the Democrat convention. I want to see pie in her face on center stage.

She needs the Michigan and Florida delegates. Fasten your seatbelts, it’s gonna be a rough ride.

And none other than Julian Bond of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Clinton People) has stated that those delegates should be seated.

Julian was successful in getting an alternate delegation, his, seated at the Dem Convention in 1968.

And there are a lot of Clinton appointed judges waiting to hear the legal arguments on allowing the delgates for Hillary to be seated.
