1. She can’t win the nomination without overturning the will of the elected delegates, which will alienate many Democrats.
2. She can’t win the nomination without a bloody convention battle — after which, even if she won, history and many Democrats would cast her as a villain.
3. Catching up in the popular vote is not out of the question — but without re-votes in Florida and Michigan it will be almost as impossible as catching up in elected delegates.
4. Nancy Pelosi and other leading members of Congress don’t think she can win and want her to give up. Same with superdelegate-to-the-stars Donna Brazile.
5. Obama’s skilled, close-knit staff can do things like silently kill re-votes in Florida and Michigan and not pay a political price.
6. Many of her supporters — and even some of her staffers — would be relieved (and even delighted) if she quit the race; none of his supporters or staff feel that way. Some think she just might throw in the towel in June if it appears efforts to fight on would hurt Obama’s general election chances.
7. The Rev. Wright story notwithstanding, the media still wants Obama to be the nominee — and that has an impact every day.

His race gives him a lot of cover on that count. See the David Paterson case in New York (he's the new governor who had piles of sex and financial scandals come to light within hours of his inauguration, but nobody is talking about having HIM resign) as a perfect case in point.
I wish we had a candidate...
Soros et.al. will let you know who McCain's VP is in due time. He would NEVER leave a choice like that up to his tool McCain or the liberal Republicans.
I don't pretend to know all the ins and outs, but it seems like a "my way or the highway" situation on both sides. I did not like this primary season. I thought it was way too front-loaded.
Looks like the Dems are stuck with a guy who was not thoroughly vetted. Had the primaries taken place later, the opportunity to smoke-out the associations of all the candidates would have come earlier, and none of us would be enduring all this rancor.
Halperin is the one who sent out the email to ABC News employees that republicans / Bush didn’t have to be covered equitably in the 2004 election.
So Markie’s sidling up to Obama-lama-ding-dong eh? The Clintoon’s are losing the drive-bys, who’ve finally picked up on the fact that the voters are sick of political family dynasties, whether they are named Clinton or Bush.
Two life-long liberals that I spoke with last week both said exactly that. Surprisingly they don’t find Obama to be their cup of tea either.
Their only problem with voting McCain is that he’s pro-life, but they said they’ll hold their noses.
Pop some popcorn, open a cool drink, relax in an easy chair, put the remote in your hand, and enjoy. Its going to be a great ride.
The Marxists’ longterm goal is to cause chaos and fomenting anger that divides the American people and weakens the U.S. to the point of implosion. You may very well be right about Wright.
She sure got skunked out of that one, didn't she?
The article portrays this as skilled maneuvering on the part of Team Hussein but it seems pretty easy to me to just not say "yes".
Exactly!
I still believe that on election day Hillary will be the Democrat nominee.
Obama may get the nomination but before election day he will committ suicide, be killed in an airplane crash, of have a fatal accident.
And Hillary will come to the rescue.
In New Jersey the Democrats demonestrated their prowness in substituting candidates.

I get this feeling that McCain is going to pick a “nob nibbler”
I get the feeling it will be Lieberman.
