I hope the Clintons are desperate because I want Obama to be the candidate who runs against McCain. Unfortunately, the adjective that I fear fits the Clintons this week is “emboldened”. Extensive polling indicates that HRC is getting traction with older Democrats, blue collar workers, and women. If HRC racks up wins in big primaries in April, she will NOT go away and the Dems may be persuaded she'd be the stronger candidate to run against McCain. (I agree with this assessment.) I fear that Obama has peaked and that HRC’s criticism of the media, coupled with her appearance on SNL, led to a turning point and an increase in support for her among Democrats. I hope I'm wrong, but I fear HRC really has made a comeback.

Mrs. Clinton did indeed make a comeback...but she always was going to swipe that nomination no matter how the primaries turned out. We are dealing with Clinton Inc. here. And America's honeymoon with Obama is over.

Like you, I subscribe to this line of thinking. And if she winds up the nominee, we can thank Rush Limbaugh as well...never, ever should republicans have gotten into this mess...that's my opinion.

Hillary will get her ass whipped again on Tuesday in Mississippi. There is no way she can make much of a dent in Obama's pledged delegate lead of about 140. All she can do is try to create the impression that she is winning by changing the criteria for measuring success.

Now pledged delegates don't matter, it is which states you win and the closeness of the popular vote. Clinton actually trails in the popular vote by more than 600,000 if you subtract MI and FL. If you included FL and not MI [Obama was not on the ballot], she still trails by 300,000.

Hillary points to some of her big state wins like NY and CA, but the truth is that both states will go Dem regardless of who is the nominee. Her "victory" in Texas [a red state] was actually a loss since Obama received more delegates. The Clintons spin and spin but the math doesn't change as the number of primaries grows smaller and the number of available delegates decline.

The Dem Party [read super delegates] must decided if they want to overturn the results at the ballot box and steal the election from the black guy to give it to the Clintons. I don't think the Dems will commit political suicide and alienate its most loyal constituency for this election and many more to come.
