The sky will open ... the light will come down ... celestial choirs will be singing ... and everyone will know we should do the right thing and the world will be perfect.
African Americans will realize that the world is just not ready for one of them to be president, so they will embrace the reality that they must vote Democrat not because Democrats have earned their vote, but because the suckers have no other choice.
We liberals activists will prove to the party leaders that they can do what they like, cause after all it is a two-party system and we have nowhere else to go. We will use this opportunity to tell the party leaders that no matter what they do, they have our unconditional support.
Young people will once again prove why they're stereotyped as cool calculating individuals, who after seeing their hopes and wishes crushed, will embrace the lesser of the evils remaining.
Finally, superdelegates will prove to the world that being mentally challenged is not a detriment to being a superdelegate but rather a requirement, but embracing Clinton's arguments and endorsing her en masse.
Oh yeah, I can just see it happening any second now.

why her response stuck with me, aside from the obvious, was that it was Ron Allan (AA journalist with NBC) who asked the question. And Andrea Mitchell today on Tweety referred to it, and how Allan had engaged the Clinton campaign on the plane the previous night on this issue. AA journos are not going to get into it with a campaign regarding race issues unless something egregious is being said, and from the press conference I got confirmation. The Clinton campaign is truly living in the 90's. They have not f*g concept about how the world has changed, nor do they really care.
They have more in common with Rev. Wright than Obama does.

Even Russert admitted it. Obama is the nominee. Hillary is just waiting in the wings in case something unknown comes out about Obama. She is acting like a standby in a play. Hillary's campaign is just a facade. They are putting up a good front, but Obama has the numbers. The anti-war movement is too strong to support Hillary as the candidate. She just does not have the votes. We need to concentrate on beating McCain.

All that sounds good but while she keeps going on TV and saying that many of her supporters will not vote for Obama, despite her efforts to the contrary, she is doing her best to ensure a McCain victory.

for a total of $11.5M, the talking heads say she released this fact early so she could attract more money from contributors. It seems to me admitting the fundraising is not going so well is another wheel coming off the bus.
BTW McCain has a fundraiser with a $100,000 plate dinner (if I understood the newsreport) which should net him about $7M in one fell swoop.
Kind of hard to be Joe Sixpack when people will pony up $100K for a plate of rubber chicken and soggy salad just to hear you drop pearls of wisdom before them.

What about the maximum contribution of $2300/4600?
