everyone that I talk to is at the very least considering Obama. Amazing, in this our very republican state.

Friday night with some Obamicans at a Obama Rally. The husband is much more excited than we are and that is saying a lot. As he asked, "I am clergy. How can I NOT vote for someone with that message?" Indeed.

He got hit with a 2x4, after Brokaw announced that Barack has 50 superdelegates waiting in the wings to announce commitments after Tuesday's voting.
Watch that video Terry.

It would not surprise me in the least if Clinton does not pull out mammoth wins today, that more than 50 superdelegates endorse Obama, putting pressure on her to drop out. I would expect an endorsement from Richardson, possibly Dodd and Biden as well. Seriously, I wouldn't be surprised if Gore weighed in.
Unless she wins massively, she will still be behind. Which means she will still have her finger (or Penn's finger) on the nuclear button for this campaign. This would not only damage Obama, but Clinton as well. It would also damage the Democratic brand.
Superdelegates are Democrats. They are likely to continue to be Democrats. Should Clinton decide to leave the party to mount an independent run, they will not follow her.
They want what's best for the party. Give the tone of the campaign (Clinton and co. pushing Rezko on the press corps again today), what's best for the party is for this to be over.
Like the nominee, don't like the nominee... Our nominee is still better than John McCain.

Are you suggesting that Penn-slime will try to throw the race to his crony McCain-slime by having HRC pull a Lieberman?
I see no indication that HRC would go Lieberman on us.

Nothing, but nothing would surprise me.

...she is not likely to get much traction. But probably enough to do a "Nader" on the Obama campaign. However: such a move will make her 1000% more hated than she already is.
Is Hillary Clinton willing to go down in history as the second Ralph Nader, the one who threw the election to McCain and gave us at least four more years of Bush-shit? Is she so egomaniacal that she would choose infamy over a graceful exit in 2008 and the possibility of other campaigns in the future? Very, very good question.

either OH or TX for it to "feel right." If he does, it'll all fall into place. If he doesn't, the moral momentum will falter.
ugh!

She has unfortunately won the media narrative this past week. Even though Obama losing in single digits in both states would keep him with a substantial delegate lead (not including Brokaw's 50 supers) she has made it such that he needs to win Texas to be able to drop endorsements on her tomorrow and end it.
On the other hand, the polling and press coverage for the last day or so has significantly raised expectations of her in Ohio so there is some opportunity there.
In short, I'm nervous and must keep rambling.

yesterday on MSNBC they said that she has a lot of people rooting for her & we are too. Sure, they love all this bickering. What can McCain do for their ratings??? Let's face it, Barack plays well and look how many gafes HRC has made that are terrific fill-ins. MSM has been going overboard trying to help HRC stay in this. Voters in Ohio, Texas, RI & Vermont please deliver victory tonight!!!! We need to win the White House in November. All the Reps are saying that they don't want to run against Barack. Let's GOTV for OBAMA!!!

My gut tells me Texas is possible. I am losing hope for OH for some reason.
Anyone else think he does have a very good chance at Texas but losing some hope for OH? I say this because Hillary is speaking at 7:30. Something tells me she is speaking before RI even closes their polls. And she will not win VT. So that makes thinks HRC Internal polling numbers for OH are so good, she is sure she will win there but not sure about TX.
Why else speak so early? Her internals must be damn good for Ohio.

I also believe we must impeach Antonin Scalia for protection from his inhumanity.

Richardon basically has, since he said he would support whomever had more pledged delegates after tonight. Go Obama!

.....for her to withdraw. She still has that attitude of entitlement and inevitability to the presidency. The longer that she continues this farce the more that she's playing into the hands of the Repugs comes November.
