#1 REDDIT > NEWSWEEK MAGZ - argues that even iff HILLARY wins the next 16 State Primaries, she'll still lose the Dem nomination. OTHER REDDIT POLITICS - Hillary won't have enuff delegates despite victories.

Hillary has already said she's gonna stay, which reflects well on her credibility-prestige as a DEM national candidate + politician.

#2 I think the Hildabeast has always known that she would get the superdelagate votes even if she lost the state races. Probably Obama knew this too, but figured he could force them into giving him the nomination if he won the state races since he's black. They're just making a lively show of it.

#3 Well, looks like she won TX & OH. Split VT & RI w/obama. She was behind by like 150 delegates yesterday morning and as of today might be up by 150. I heard the dem nominee needs approx 2,025 delegates to be solid. As of today I thinks she's at about 1,400; I heard also that there are only 700 more delegates to fight for in the upcoming primaries so it's theoretical she can get to 2,025 but he may not be able to.
My math could be off but in any case get your jiffy-pop ready ladies & gents this could get amusing.

#5 I'm really displeased that Limbaugh, et al, are urging republicans to vote for Hillary - to assist in giving her ANY chance at securing the nomination is highly irresponsible. The last thing in the world we need is to somehow allow that despicable human being to get seated in the Oval Office. Prolonging the infighting btw BO and HRC is entertaining and somewhat helpful for McCain, but it's not worth it if it means Hillary Clinton has increased prospects of becoming POTUS.

#6 It's too late to consider that gb.
The vampiress just pulled the stake out of her heart and has reawoken. I called on this very board last week the "SS Clinton would be going props up in the next 10 days". I alos picked Ohio State to win the NC the last 2 years running...
Ms Inevitable was "hit and run" by Obamamania, whose now been tackled from behind by the Hildebeast. People whose opinion I trust say this is a good thing having the battle extend for the next six (expensive) weeks. I would have prefered reading the obits on the Clinton dynasty.

#7 Clinton hints at shared ticket

WASHINGTON - Hillary Rodham Clinton, fresh off a campaign-saving comeback, hinted Wednesday at the possibility of sharing the Democratic presidential ticket with Barack Obama with her at the top. Obama played down his losses, stressing that he still holds the lead in number of delegates.

On a night that failed to clarify the Democratic race, John McCain Tuesday clinched the Republican nomination. Clinton won primaries in Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island, halting Obama's winning streak. Obama won in Vermont.

Both Democrats insisted on Wednesday they had the best credentials to go head to head or as Clinton put it "toe to toe" against McCain.

Asked on CBS's "The Early Show" whether she and Obama should be on the same ticket, Clinton said: "That may be where this is headed, but of course we have to decide who is on the top of ticket. I think the people of Ohio very clearly said that it should be me."

So tell her to run for governor of Ohio.

#9 If conservatives had anything to do with pulling her chestnuts out of the fire, shame on them. Shame on Rush. Although he is beloved by many on the right, I have always found him not to be NASA material. He's all "alligator mouth and hummin'bird ass!"
