I am sorry, but that is BS
[Read the article: What to expect when you're expecting (primary results)]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]She was up huge a few weeks back. I have had that CNN bus parked 2 blocks from my house and Rendell and Nutter constantly on my TV. A 15% win was predicted, and that was face-saving since she was up by over 20% a few weeks before.
TO say that nothing has changed is Fox News-ish.
What is the motivation, if any, behind that misstatement?

Nothing has changed!?!?!?!?

LOL, I know
[Read the article: What to expect when you're expecting (primary results)]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It is WAY too long. For six weeks I have been told by the Democratic political machine here in Philly that she was gonna kick start her campaign here by thumping Obama. 20% was seemingly an easy goal, but the party line was high teens. And think how bad it would be if they did not get the +2% from that bum's Flag Pin question.
Now we are talking about a 7% win? If she wins by 10% here tonight she needs 62% of the remaining pledged delegates.
Assuming a slight win in IN (+2.2%) and an 8% loss in NC (and it will likely be in excess of 15%) she'll need 75% of the remaining states pledged delegates.
As we like to say in Philly..."C'mon now".

[Read more letters about this article: Here]FYI - is NOT from "Northeast Philly". He is from Cheltenham, a world away.
This is like Ben Affleck claiming to be from Southie, or J-Lo claiming to be from the Bronx. A total fraud move.
38% in the exit poll say they'd be OK with Hill or Obama, a promising sign for November?

[Read the article: The unofficial end of the race for pledged delegates]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This is a nice moment for you. I'm going to let you have it, because I am not a total bastard and you need a pick-me-up.
But, tomorrow, I want to see some fight from you. Don't post a few times and then run away when I make your talking points look silly. Don't refuse to answer me.
As of 9am tomorrow EST, answer me the question I have been asking you all week...how does she win? You need 62% of remaining delegates, since the margin is - as I write this - 10%.
Good night!
And good luck.

Chris Matthews Analysis
[Read the article: The unofficial end of the race for pledged delegates]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Obama has a real problem with white, blue collar workers."
Despite the lead in pop vote and pledged delegates.
OK, so he should drop out for the more "electable" Clinton who is more acceptable to white people. Black voters should just accept that they can never have a seat at the table. Just deliver the vote and shut up! Be reliable when white, blue collar voters consistently vote for the GOP?
They can do all the work and the white people can reap all the benefits. Gee, that sounds familiar! That should play well in the South, especially!
You gotta have pride, right? You expect there to be no fallout among African American voters over this!?!??!?!

[Read more letters about this article: Here]So, the loser gets to be President?
The winner gets to be VP?
Please explain!
Your argument suggests that, since Clinton won CA over Obama, McCain will beat Obama in CA.
That is laughable. I'm not sure you are credible anymore.

Congrats To Hillary
[Read the article: The unofficial end of the race for pledged delegates]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You won the white trash vote from the middle of the state that will go 95% McCain in November. I laud you for that!
You ran an ad with Bin Laden in it! A stark contrast to the tactics of George W Bush! I am envious that my choice did not insult the electortate by lowering themselves to this!
You bowed and scraped and crawled on your belly in front of Richard Mellon-Scaife, kissing his ring and telling him how hot he is. I only wish Obama had done so!!
You successfully won the pro-life vote!
You turned your back on Philadelphia and African American voters!!!
What a formula for success in November!!!
And how proud your supporters must be!
