The New York senator has unnerved Obama, who has been left reeling by a series of errors from senior policy advisers. The two opponents face an ugly six-week battle in the run-up to a potentially pivotal primary in Pennsylvania next month.

Democrats boosted Obama in Wyoming last night in state caucuses that gave the Illinois senator a comfortable victory. With almost all votes tallied he beat Clinton by 59% to 40%.

After Pennsylvania, she, the nominatrix, from her position of trailing in every aspect of this election, will make Baraq an offer he can’t refuse...

She actually has a half way decent argument if she wins the overall popular vote. Its not the same as the E. College because neither will have enough delegates to win. The rules don’t say “Whoever has the MOST delegates wins”. If she wins the popular vote and the biggest states, she has a pretty good argument.

There’s a fourth way. Remember what happened to Bobby Kennedy in ‘68?

If Clinton prevails there will be rioting at the convention center and rioting in urban areas nationwide. Maybe, anyhow.

I would not want to be a Democrat superdelegate as long as The Hildabeast is in the race. I would fear for the safety of everyone important to me.

Weird, isn’t, how she “won” Texas with one of THREE BIG WINS - except that (according to RealClearPolitics) Obama and Clinton each got 92.5 delegates - a tie.

And even if it were 93-92 or 94-91 for Hillary - that doesn’t constitute a “big win” in my dictionary...

Of course the Texas results won’t be official until the final June party meetings as I understand it...

FRESH from her victories in three out of four states last week

Make that two of four. When the caucus selected delegates were included. The Harridan did NOT win Texas. Woo Hoo. OTOH, B. Hussien did. Boo Hoo.

Obama leads Clinton by nearly 600,000 in the number of votes cast to date, but trails her by 30,000 if the votes of the two “rogue” states are counted. These states are now likely to stage some form of rerun.

Note that in Michigan, where Obama was not on the ballot Hillary won (according to Wikipedia) 328,309. So this article, like Hillary, is cutting that 600,000 figure in half by including a primary where the other major candidate was not on the ballot.

According to Wikipedia:

Michigan Democrats moved their primary date to January 15 in an effort to increase the state's influence in the presidential candidate nominating process. They argued that the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary unfairly dominated the selection process.[4] Democratic Party rules prohibit any state, except for Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina, from holding its primary before February 5. On December 1, 2007, the Democratic National Committee decided to strip Michigan of all of its delegates to the national convention. Michigan would normally send 156 delegates. A similar occurrence happened in Florida.[5] On October 9, 2007, following Michigan's breach of DNC rules, Barack Obama, Bill Richardson, Joe Biden, and John Edwards withdrew from the Michigan Democratic Primary ballot.

One can argue it was stupid for Obama to pull his name (or some kind of strategy to negate any win by Hillary by claiming now that he was not on the ballot so any inclusion of popular votes for Hillary are moot), not to mention Edwards but the bottomline is Hillary only bemoaned the delegate issue of Michigan and Florida after the fact.

In the final analysis the only possible, unprecedented primary do-over should be in Michigan. Florida should stand as it is.

["Clinton thinks she can win a majority of the popular vote in primaries and caucuses..."]

Er, she'll have to become "popular" to achieve that. So far, no deal.

Hillary reminds of Tracy Flick from the movie “Election”, lol. The movie's a satire about the “political process”.

I think I just found a new tag line.

“Three way” and “Hillary” should NOT be in the same sentence!

lying, cheating, or stealing is the only way a clinton has ever won anything, or a Democrat either for that matter.

If Clinton wins, this nation will rue the day. She has more evil in the pimple on her butt than Obama could ever concoct.

Hillary is going to say that with Florida popular votes counted, she will have more votes. However, that was when there was an eight-way race for the votes.

I interpret those results as a whole lot more people voted for anyone but Hillary.
