It's all about superdelegates by this point, and nothing's going to change that.
I was listening to Rachel Maddow's show last night and she offered up a scenario for the convention. She estimated what the pledged delegate counts would be if current voting trends continued, which would have been about +100 for Obama. She added that she expects there to be about 300 undecided superdelegates at the convention - in which case Hillary would have to win over 2/3 of them to in order to get a slight win. That's probably not very likely.
There are still about 75 superdelegate slots that haven't even been assigned yet. I'm surprised I haven't yet heard about any knock-down drag-outs over figuring those out.
At this point, I hope it's such a mess that Al Gore will be nominated as a compromise candidate, James K. Polk style.
I actually heard today, for the first time on any network, the talking heads discussing the possibility that Hillary's stratagy could be to make Obama unelectable for the simple reason that she'll get to run again in 2012. They seemed to think that it would be too much work to walk that fine line between being critical of him and trying to destroy him. I think they underestimate her ability to lie and believe her own lies.
In 2012, I'm afraid the primary scheduling problems are only going to get worse... Every state will have had a taste of a relevant primary and want some more. I'm sure there will be an even bigger race to the front.
Even if we start on changing that process now, it won't be in effect in four years.
North Carolina's primary is one week from today. John Edwards is from North Carolina and served as their Senator. NC's governor just endorsed Hillary.
I know he's been laying low and not saying anything, but if he's going to make an endorsement before the convention - it has to be before this primary or not at all.
I think he'll sit this one out. I wish he'd endorse Obama but I don't see it. No real reason to think this, just what my gut tells me. My odds 2:1 he doesn't endorse.
If I hear one more thing about Rev. Wright, I'm gonna punch someone in the face. Seriously. I'm fed the fuck up with this garbage. Why does Obama's pastor's words matter to Obama's candidacy, but Hillary's husband's past actions do not. I don't get it.
^^ Agree 100%. The press is really pissing me off. If I hear one more media analyst say, in effect, "We have to talk about it" or "This is killing Obama's chances at the nomination." I'm gonna lose it. They are the only people still talking about it. And talking incessantly.
I'm just hoping they burn this subject out for most people so it can't be used in effectively Nov. Sure, they will use it to motivate Reps but I think most independents will be as burned out as we are and just ignore it.
Or he's being paid by the Republicans. I wouldn't doubt it at all, especially after that last press conference. The dude seems to love basking in the limelight.
He did say if Obama won, that on day one, "I'm coming after you" or something to that effect.
We discussed about five news stories in my policymaking class today. The prof then mentioned it was surprising nobody had mentioned the "big story" of the day. The room got silent for a bit, until some mentioned Truck Nutz.
We all agreed that it shouldn't matter and that we don't care.
For a good laugh. The site's for real though. I am just heartily amused by the fact that they call Obama "Barack KKK God Damn America Hussein Obama" and that we're apparently God-hating communists who starve people and hike up gas prices.
Obama has tied Clinton amongst Congressional superdelegates.
John McCain: "I'm sorry to tell you, but there are going to be other wars."
DC Madam hanged herself and left two notes, the contents of which I haven't yet heard. I find this odd because her client list didn't really have any big shockers...
Fox News apparently didn't pay attention during high school history:
I can assure you, after having spent five years convenience store clerking through college, that I have never ever seen anyone have this much trouble with a coffee machine:

I think it's hilarious how FOX keep saying Frederick Douglas (the black abolitionist) instead of Stephen Douglas when referring to the Lincoln Douglas debates. What idiots.
