They made the same point on hardball the other night Obama wasn't even a contender until after super Tuesday -He was in the 20's and 30's up until then. Check the polls. I think therein lies the problem with the Hillary supporters - they still can't believe that the lead evaporated..why she was a shoe-in until super Tuesday The reality is almost setting in now at this late stage

I thin
It will go all the way to the end until all the votes are counted. Do you think she might concede then? At what piont will the reality set in that the assured nomination that she believed she had all sown up until Super Tuesday (check the Polls Obama was still in the 20's and 30's)is gone. That is what makes it so hard for Hill and Bill....but we were winning ...this can't be happening...cue Twilite Zone theme music.
I guess the job openings for lying sacks of shit is somewhat slow at present. Did you ever for one minute believe one thing he said as press secretary. The Daily Show used to catch him all the time - we just have short memories. He is going to get toasted by Faux news and the like. I already heard the eminent douche bag Tucker Carlson laying into him on MSNBC tonight.
this administration shall hang over McSame's campaign like a dark cloud
You are soooo right I can't wait for people to start puling up clips of what he was saying back then. Spineless piece of crap 1000's days late and 100's of thousands of deaths short.
Has she not noticed that no one except her and Bill are talking about her as a candidate. Did you notice how they started to pick Obama apart when he "misspoke" How long would the queen of misspeak last. Its over hill wahts the superdeegate count since march???
Who knew - I am deeply shocked at these revelations....PUHLEESE
any person with 2 operating brain cells knew that we were being lied to and manipulated. All you had to do was to tap into any alternate news source and there it was. I remember a Harper's magazine article prior to the war where someone who was actually in Iraq said "WHAT???" The Iraqi army can not even afford combat boots ..they are wearing tennis shoes..and this is army is a threat to anybody...I don't think so. All any mainstream news source had to do was put boots on the ground in Iraq and there would have been so many holes in the arguments it would have looked like swiss cheese.
Unless, the speaker was a retired command level military officer. Disguising their likely affiliation with the Pentagon by telling us their rank, was devilishly ingenious. ROFL.
Still didn't fool me - there were still a few (military) out
there that saw the folly of this war
Why wouldn't they endorse the republican candidate. Check the history ... http://www.270towin.com/states/South_Dakota voted red in the last 10 elections. Been voting against there best self interest for at least that long.
I thought it was over????
In the Hillary alternate reality she won Super Tuesday and Obama gracefully disappeared. The problem with Hill and her supporters is that they can not grasp that this candidate who had everything money, support and was leading in the polls ( Obama was still in the thirties before super Tuesday) has lost everything. That it is a direct result of a poorly run campaign coupled with a play book right out of the Republican Camp. It does not seem to dawn on these people. It is just embarrassing now and it will only shame her more as she grasps for straws. I am very sorry Clinton supporters. no amount of screaming and temper tantrums in front of the cameras will change it. I was an Edwards supporter and would have voted for Hilary had she won ...but she didn't.

"In Wisconsin, Clinton led Obama by a 10 to 20-point margin throughout last fall, and continued to lead through December. By mid-February, Obama took a narrow lead, but only after he began seriously campaigning did he open up his eventual 17-point margin. The same was true in Virginia. Obama started in late October was down by 24 points down, opened up a 15 to-18 point margin after he won Iowa and South Carolina and held his own on SuperTuesday, then ended up winning by 28 points after he visited enough key cities to get his message blanketing the media. Major states that Obama lost had a similar pattern. Clinton was ahead by nearly 30 points in Ohio in October, and by 21 a month before the primary. Obama closed the gap to 10 percent, and the gap would have been narrower still without the interventions of Rush Limbaugh and Clinton's spurious NAFTAgate charges. The same process occurred in Pennsylvania. A month before the vote Clinton had a 19-percent lead. She ended up with 9 percent. Part of this was the strength of Obama's get-out-the-vote efforts, efforts he had no chance to exercise in Florida. But voters also got the chance to see him on their local media and in their local communities, and this made a major difference, even with the emergence of the Jeremiah Wright controversy. The more they got to know Obama, the more they liked him."
