That's when the superdelegates vote.
As Dennis Cardoza demonstrated, they can switch anytime they want to until then.
Are there any journalistic ethics about telling the truth?
What you call "beating him in the legs with an aluminum baseball bat," the rest of us call Hillary winning primaries by huge margins.
Huge margins.
A total repudiation of the "presumptive" nominee.
That was a dirty low-blow that disqualifies him from being the nominee.
Also, it was his campaign that pushed the RFK wankfest.
Hillary had nothing to do with the Muslim rumors and has consistently said they were not true. That was a freeper rumor, and the only ones who still talk about it are Obama supporters trying to falsely blame Hillary, like yourself.
About one month out of the spotlight should do it.
The media will tear Obama to shreds by the time she returns for the August convention.
The clothes have no emperor.
No sooner.
But congratulations Alex on falling for his campaign's effort to push Hillary's win tonight off the news.
How does it feel to be a tool?
They are official and the votes count.
She can't be stopped.
BTW - Walter Shapiro was a pretty good journalist before he turned into a shill for Obama.
"Just say NO to kool-aid"
You've been pronouncing Hillary's campaign dead since Iowa.
Why don't you try reporting the news instead of trying to make the news you want come true?
You're an embarrassment to your "profession."
Help elect John McCain.
and she was behind in Indiana until a month ago.
Even Obama called Indy the "tiebreaker"
She won, he lost.
Spin all you want Joan, but them's the facts.
You were a good journalist before you went in the tank for Obama.
Hillary would rather talk policy.
His mistake, but he doesn't have experience or policy to offer. Now his judgment is discredited, and his personality isn't looking so nice.
Rev. Wright clearly believes what he says. He may be wrong, he may be crazy, but he has integrity.
Obama, on the other hand, will say whatever he needs to say to win. The same thing he falsely accuses Hillary of.
It's called "projection."
Rev. Wright believes what he says.
Consequently, I have more respect for Rev. Wright than Obama.
But what about the 20 year relationship?
Is Obama ready to disown the man? He said before that he couldn't do that.
of his relationship with Wright and Trinity UCC. Now he's stuck.
His original story also makes his current story hard to believe.
on many levels, not just sexism.
It implied violence against a Presidential candidate.
That's wrong no matter if the candidate is a woman, an African-American, or a plain old white man.
But winning with superdelegates is akin to a dictatorship?
Buy a clue Walter - Obama can't win without the superdelegates either.
Obama is another Dukakis - an electoral disaster waiting to happen.
Obama is inspiring and uplifting.
But in the words of Walter Mondale/Clara Peller: "Where's the Beef?"
The man is all sizzle, no steak.
Maybe he thinks he'll have better luck with McCain.
The problem is the media won't defend Hillay, no matter how unfair or dishonest his attacks are.
But the Village idiots love them some Johnny Mac.
Obama is tap dancing in a minefield.
She had everything going against her.
Except the voters.
This is much better than the last couple articles.
What happened Walter?
You used to be a great journalist, but since you started drinking the kool-aid you turned into a hack.
Obama got treated like a Democrat.
Welcome to the club, Barack!
You better get used to it, if you want to be President.
but it wasn't until Obama was the target that the outrage appeared in the lefty blogs.
When the boys at MSNBC were beating up on Hillary, where were the other big bloggers?
The only difference on Wednesday night was that Obama got treated like a Democrat.
because he's afraid the people will be saying "Hillary!"
about the debate was that Obama got treated like a Democrat.
Welcome to the club!
isn't one of them.
Y'all realize Walter is a kool-aid drinker too, dont you?
"In the end, Obama seemed to win simply by not losing."
"Barry didn't sh*t himself, therefore he won."
Gee Walter, You were a really good journalist before you started drinking the kool-aid.
Susa has been the gold standard for polls this campaign.
Hillary in PA by 18 points.
Bet the rent on it.
Molly said:
“There is one area in which I think Paglia and I would agree that politically correct feminism has produced a noticeable inequity.
Nowadays, when a woman behaves in a hysterical and disagreeable fashion, we say, “Poor dear, it’s probably PMS.”
Whereas, if a man behaves in a hysterical and disagreeable fashion, we say, “What an asshole.”
Let me leap to correct this unfairness by saying of Paglia, Sheesh, what an asshole.”
RIP Molly
Pardon me, but your bias is showing.
I keep telling people about that speech because I keep hearing how no one has made a speech like that since MLK. It's like a cookie-cutter comment I see on lots of sites.
I am a supporter of Hillary, but I don't hate Obama. I think he stepped in it on this issue but I hope he survives.
Many Obama supporters are overly optimistic or in denial. This issue isn't over. It will resonate with a lot of people, and not in a good way.
They are partying like it's 1999.
They haven't had this much fun since Monica Lewinsky.
Obama surrendered the moral and patriotic high ground. Screw the whacko rumors that he's a Manchurian Muslim. All they have to do is play the videos. The racists get to cry racism.
And for anyone who points out that the wingers have religious figures like Hagee and Pat Robertson to deal with, so what?
Hypocrisy and double-standards are a feature, not a bug for them.
