She pretty much is. Another 6.4 million. In the true self serving form of a Clinton she will stay the course, with total disregard for her party. It's a grand plan. She gets the nomination this year and, if not, buries Obama in his run against McCaine and gets the nod in 2012. She knows that that's her last shot.

You know what, I have been waiting to see how this Dem primary was going to go. I am Libertarianish, but like most I liked the approach to campaigning Obama did but I don't think he is stronger than Hillary. This is what I think happened Obama starting running for president to get his feet wet and the campaign he was running was so positive and didn't do typical politician things plus the fact that his speaking ability drew more people in undercut Hillary's red carpet to the whitehouse. Hillary didn't take him seriously and Obama's following just kept growing and growing. By the time Obama won 11 straight states Hillary's campaign (which was poorly ran) just started falling apart with advisor changes, money issues, and Bill's out of place comments. By the time she finally got on her feet during the Wright non scandle it was all about wright and obama not hillary and obama, and by the time she took a stand on something like a gas tax that was up Obama's alley because he already been through a gas tax holiday and he saw that it didn't work so for all the inexperience Hillary says Obama doesn't have he had experience in that and buried her campaign with the gimmick typical Washington politics she was trying to play. And now we are here where they are asking Hill to drop out, but she says she will consider it on June 10, the funny thing is by that time she will already have won WV, KY, maybe Puerto Rico while Obama should get SD, ORE, and Montana but if she is close by June 10th you will see a push from her to bring back FLA and MICHIGAN. Everybody know FLA and MICH broke the rules that were set, but the funny thing is in MICH Hillary got 55% verses....nobody? There was nobody on the ballot in MICHIGAN and she only got 55%? I don't think once Obama is on the ballot in Mich she will even get close to 55%. And as far as FLA goes, its a republican state anyway but it will be good for Hillary because of all the old retired women that live there and that is the base of her support(old women who want to see a woman president before they die). So I do think Hillary is the stronger candidate but is it Obama's fault that she couldn't close the deal since she had the crown on her head before the Primaries started?

This is all such foolishness. There IS NO nominee.

Clinton has stopped Obama from wrapping it up, just as he has stopped her.

Hilery is like the second place team going into the playoffs. Anything cann happen. Ther 'pundits' just don't get this.

Here is the reality:
Neither candiodate can win on the 1st ballot at the convention.
Neither has the 2245 votes needed.
No delegate will budge for the first two ballots, although they are only bound for one ballot.

Then the convention begins. There is no one ;machine,' so there won't be a "smoke filled room." Howard Dean WILL REALIZE THAT HE IS PLAYING IN THE BIG LEAGUES, AND HAS NO POWER.

After about the 5th ballot, there will be a drift of delegated to Hilery.

Obama may, or may not be able to turn it around, it depends on his whips and floor leaders.

Both are very strong, and broad. Whose support is deeper?
Either can win, and it WILL BE high drama.

I cannot predict who will win.

Nathaniel Bach: The Five Stages Of Political Grieving: Acceptance Comes to Camp Clinton
Psychology may be too "elite" for the new Clintons, but it seems clear they're more than midway through the five classic stages of grieving: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.~~~~~~~~

However, "DEAD WRONG" in saying,“McCain will be the next President.”~~~~~~~~

Senator Obama will be the next President!~~~~~~~~~

DNC Superdelegate Puts His Vote Up For Sale
Steven Ybarra Wants $20 Million For His Vote
SACRAMENTO, Calif.(CBS13) ― In this tight battle for the democratic nomination we've heard a lot about the candidates courting super-delegates.

But, one superdelegate is courting the candidates. He says he'll sell his vote for a price. A very high price:$20 million.

Sacramento superdelegate Steven Ybarra says that eight-figure price is peanuts for the presidency.

When asked whether it was right to offer what is clearly a quid pro quo?

"Yeah, absolutely. People do it all the time," answered Ybarra.

But, not like this. Not in public, and not for such big bucks.

It begs the question. Is he crazy?

"Nobody's said I'm crazy," said Ybarra.

Ybarra wants every cent of the $20 million to go toward registering and educating eligible Mexican-American voters, who he calls the key to the white house.

"And I keep asking the question of the DNC,'why won't you earmark money for these voters?' And their answer is,'oh, we can't do that' which is a lie," said Ybarra.

With the Democratic National Committee saying 'no,' Ybarra waits for a 'yes' from already cash-strapped Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.

Would he accept less? How about $5 million?

"No,$5 million is nothing," said Ybarra.

It might be a moot point as neither campaign has come calling.

"No, I think most people right now are looking at this as some crazy guy in California because after all I'm from California," said Ybarra.

He thinks his own party is crazy for not aggressively pursuing the Mexican-American vote especially with such a large Mexican-American population in the southwest.

"We should kick John McCain's a** in his own hometown," said Ybarra.

This superdelegate thinks his vote would be the best 20 million a candidate could ever spend. After all he says, in 2004 John Kerry spent a billion dollars to lose.

Bill Clinton Switches to Obama!

In what some Democratic Party insiders are calling a particularly ominous sign for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, former president Bill Clinton today became the latest superdelegate to switch from Sen. Clinton to her rival, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill).

Sources close to the former president said that Mr. Clinton had been mulling such a defection for weeks, as early as the night of the Iowa primary, but that he only decided to make his decision public today.

“The American people want change,” Mr. Clinton said at a press conference in New York.“Lord knows I do.”

The former president said that “sometimes, at the end of a race, you have to put an old horse down,” adding,“I’m not speaking metaphorically.”

Mr. Clinton fueled speculation that he was seeking a role in an Obama administration, saying,“I know my way around the Oval Office, and I know how the super-secret double-lock works.”

The former president said he would relish a return to the White House, calling his tenure there “good times.”

For her part, Sen. Clinton said that the defection of her husband would not deter her from staying in the race, adding,“To my knowledge, he’s the only white voter Sen. Obama has.”

The New York senator denied that she was playing the race card, arguing,“Every other member of my family is supporting me, and by the way, they’re white.”

Elsewhere, a defiant John McCain said that his wife will not release her tax returns,“and neither will my girlfriend.”
