Valid points

But it doesn't change that the law was on the books for the state and feds and ES surely was well aware of those laws....

So he is an idiot. With so many powerful enemies and such a bright future... Surely he could have found another way to spend the money?

He could have divorced his wife and been single.... Surely there are people out there who don't have these sorts of issues.

It is time to be legit. Just like Clinton's war vote.... It was a calculation. What we need are people who can stand up for what they believe in. That way we can have reasonable expectations about how are leaders will behave.

We have been lied to long enough. Hell we lie to ourselves. When are we going to come clean... And then move forward with an honest debate about the country and the rule of law....

how lame...

What is it with the people in power?

Didn't think he was gonna get caught?

Maybe you have to be a gambler addict personality to want to get in that game...

Oh well he probably would have been president some day.... I hope it was worth it...

How does surviving a huge gain in % = a victory...

She was way ahead in these states. She lost almost all of her lead in TX and half of it in Ohio.

The meme seems to be lasting but it is just not fact...

Every primary is about survival for her... He can lose PA.

She cannot..... He has to lose like 7 states by a lot....

that is a rude yet funny comment...

I am surprised the First Lady doesn't have a clearance but it turns out it is true....

What experience could she possible have if she wasn't even briefed enough to require a clearance?

Scheduling? Even some of that requires a clearance.

She probably has had more inside info as a Senator then as first lady....

McCain will kill her on the very thing she is running on! What a strange plan. But I guess if it is about survival....

Ah finally I was waiting...

It took a few pages of comment but the HRC people are willing to win by back room deal at the convention! Of course it is within the rules...

Win at all cost! I love it! I guess Supremes for Bush was right in 2000? Well it met some legal standard right?

At least Wes sort of implied that it matters if she catches him in the popular vote. Which may be possible but isn't really any more likely. Though I think Wes doesn't care how she wins as long as he loses. I think that latter being the more important part for Wes.

Just to get to beat a 100 delegate lead you have to give her all the benefit of the doubt. Does anyone think he won't win MS or NC by 20 points?

I think maybe the baby boomers have had their hearts broken to many times. I think they just can see the real possibility with Barack. Perhaps Clinton I beat it out of them. And they are some self deluded abusive trip with Bill and Hill.

So how about this... Any HRC supporter want to promise me we won't have another 8 years of a cirus? No more affairs, women etc? Do you really think the list of people that have paid Bill 250K to speak for an hour is going to be ok? I think Salon had that list. It was scary as hell. You think McCain isn't going to say... This person is bought and paid for...

Oil companies, foreign countries, giant corps. And yeah then the is the huge foundation that he has raised millions for.

The Clintons are bought and paid for to the tune of 10 of millions of dollars. It appears someone may have given Obama too good of a deal on a 600K dollar lot....

Yes that does seem like a screw up.... But do you remember the list of people that paid Clinton to speak? The total was like 40M plus......

I guess Bill can give a pretty good speech too.

In fact...

After writing that last piece I went back to the cnn site.

I left the supers off. I gave the a tie in all the states Obama should win. Then I gave her a 60% win in the others.

She still doesn't get withing 30 delegates. Yes she is close. Within a percent. But 30 delegates behind.

So lets give her the same 60% margin in FL and MI. So now she ends up ahead by 30 delegates.

If she wins all of her states by 20% and ties him in all of his? Anyone want to bet cash money on this happening?

So she could win the super contest. But is that really ok? Close with a back door deal from the party?

Will that actually work?

Please Salon ask this question?

Now if she wants to staying like Huckabee until the end. Speak her cause.. Make her points but play nice then... Sure no harm no foul. And if he self destructs she is there.

But it there is no change even with these negative ads...

Then.... Truth is he came from behind in TX by 20 points in two weeks to tie her in delegates. And lost by 4%.

He cut her lead in OH by 10%. But if you take the Ohio 10% win and apply them to her states she doesn't make it even with FL and MI...
