News Analysis: Options Dwindling for Clinton

In this case, a split was not a draw. Despite narrowly winning Indiana, while losing North Carolina, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton did not fundamentally improve her chances of securing the Democratic ...

Hil-dog - you're finished. Damn good try, though.

And to all the "experts" - you called it Hillary vs. Guiliani for six full months. WRONG!!!

Obama will be our next president!

The only 'great' candidate will be leaving. Gullible, irrational American voter majority will get what they deserve: an accomplished CON man offering little more than an empty suit who occasionally plays basketball. Baby Obamation -- new tag line: "A Disaster of Epic Proportion!"

Hillary is not a fighter for me. Hillary just promoted the very gas tax her husband turned down and rejected in the White House when he was President. Pandering, pandering, pandering. As she is doing all the pandering, does she ever stop to realize, that, that is what America is tired of????? She only gained 2% points in Indiana, which should be, by all accounts, prime Hillary country, like Ohio. She squeezed it out. She is losing her base. She should pander some more, and cause voters to keep remembering what it is they hate about Gov't and policiticans. I told you the gas tax would backfire!

Hillary is going to stay in the race and go to the convention where she still has a chance with the crooked DNC Superdelegate system.

Obama hasn't been able to put her away and doesn't get the blue collar Democrat vote.
There's big cracks in the dam come November.

No actually we have already been through the disaster of epic proportions. Don't need another Clinton - another great Republican candidate in Democratic garb. Don't need a McCainiac or we will have a disaster of biblical proportions. Maybe someone the Republicans will have trouble working with for a change will be refreshing for the middle class.

well actually he has pretty close to the same percentage of blue collar democratic vote as her. Will see what Super delegates are made of - would suspect - money and position (appointments)- but will see if the people put up with it. Either way McCain is defeated - notice in the last three primaries he didn't get 25%+ of his own parties vote? Some dissatisfaction there.

True, she's losing her base for this election, 30-40% of them are moving over to McCain, if that was the Repub strategy all along, that's genius! How's Baby Obamanation going to compete with that?

He's unifying everyone all right! The great re-polarization process has begun!

Maybe the Clinton's can finally see the handwriting on the wall, but I doubt it. They seem to think her being president is an inherit right! Although I did notice when she was speaking last night that all 3 (Bill, Hillay & Chelsea) were wearing BLACK & BLUE! Symbolic?

As a Pennsylvania resident, where Hillary won an embarrassingly large percentage of the vote, I fail to understand her blue collar base. Once NAFTA was signed, the jobs deserted PA like the proverbial rats jumping the sinking ship.

All we heard about in the prolonged campaigning period here was the Clinton prosperity of the nineties. Somehow it passed most of us by. We were also reminded that Hillary was a hometown Scranton "girl." The only time the Clintons were here during their reign was to bury her father in the Washburn Street cemetery in about 1996.

If Pennsylvanians weren't smart enough to see that the deep concern the Clintons have for the working people is all smoke and mirrors, it is a blessing that the Tar Heels (No insult intended; simply using the nickname) and a goodly portion of Hoosiers can see through the illusion.

One thing people should remember is that the Reagan democrats are in actuality southern rascists who opposed civil rights. Maybe they should stay in the Republican party where they belong and out of Democratic politics. Note to Rush - maybe you should be working at building up McCain instead of tampering with Democratic Elections? Time better spent for ignorance to help incompetence.

Amen! Rush and Shawn Hannity have spent weeks and weeks trying to destroy Obama and the Democratic party.

I just read the same thing, how fiscally sound can that be to reach into your own pocket to fund a campaign (this is her second time), or how desperate can she be? Did she misspeak again when she stated she raised $ 10 Million dollars in PA. and did that funding stop once she left. She has criticized how inexperience Obama is, yet he has not reached into his family savings and retirement fund to continue. He is schooling her on how to raise funds,she should be embarassed, this knowledgeable Statesperson struggling to raise funds. Senator Clinton should not spit into the wind, when the wind is blowing in her face. I still feel she will not support Obama, if he is the Democratic Candidate. If you want to talk about an elitist who feels they are priviledged to the Presidency, it is Hillary Clinton, and this decision to quickly run to the bank and pull out funds to continue one of her issues that appear to be heading for defeat, is just an example of what we would have for the next 4 years if she is in office.

A hillary win will guarantee a rep win in the general election. Simply because she will not have the popular vote, deleagt lead, and total states won. A great wrong would have to take place at this point for her to pull it out, and to change the rules this late in the game will totally split the party and McCain would walk in a land slide.

The Blue collar vote will either smell the coffee or pay the price yet again. The choice is starkly obvious.

Set aside race...just for a second.

Who's more like you and who's the elitist?

The candidate raised by a single mother(sometimes on public assistance) who went to school on student loans.(or)

The son and grandson of Navy Commanders with six houses a private jet and $100,000,000.00 in the bank?

Never understood why anyone would call him an elitist. A white man who grew up under the same circumstances would be perceived as a regular guy who made good. Whatever priviledge he has, HE EARNED. Hillary on the other hand was well off and married well ... and EXPECTS PRIVILEDGE. Don't know why people don't care to admit these truths.

There is no "Operation Chaos" folks. That's a joke on party hacks who take themselves ever so seriously. Hillary can't admit that Rush listeners are keeping her in the race; that gives them too much power and makes Hillary and Obama look weak.

CNN and MSNBC have fallen for "Operation Chaos". They want to complain about criminal interference with an election, giving Obama a chance to demand that results be ignored as tainted. The networks can't pass up a chance to bad mouth Rush but that means trivializing Hillary, which is bad for one's resume in the news business.

Decisions, decisions. So much spin, so little time.
