How is Senator Clinton going to win the nomination?
And what is Salon willing to do to its own reputation in the futile pursuit of it? Absent a 20% victory margin, it is over after tomorrow, we can wait for North Carolina, Indiana and Oregon to come in at something slightly less than a 20% Clinton victory margin and then it will be over. What is with the absolute lack of hard, cold statistical orientation toward reality from those fewer passionate HRC supporters? How are they more grounded in reality than the "Kool-aid" drinkers on Obama's side?
I just wish Joan Walsh, after four months of fakery, will own up to how bad she wanted HRC to win. There's nothing dishonorable about that except trying to hide it. Makes her look terrible. I'm sure she'll be triumphant tomorrow if HRC wins. Congrats to her, but Obama is the nominee.

Still waiting for Salon's feminists to give Hillary equal treatment...
...treatment equal to the month of quibbling, nitpicking, parsing and making mountains out of molehills that they've done to Obama. Where's the grousing over Tuzla? The handwringing over NAFTA? The denouncing and rejecting of Governor Rendell over sucking up to the dreaded Louis Farrakhan?

Or as Mr. Uygur says of Hillary, maybe you've just been full of crap the whole time?

@ LT bohica
Just asking - can you tell me what bohica stands for? When I was in high school it was superfunny to be the only ones to understand it to mean Bend Over Here It Comes Again. Maybe you have use it differently. Please tell everyone.

Enjoy Her Last Hurrah
Clinton will probably be carried to a win by people who would never vote for her in a matchup with McCain. So Clintonites enjoy the moment. She gets smoked in NC which snuffs out the vigil candles of all the starry-eyed dreamers of a Clinton redux. After this, she will be entering the third month of getting crushed in super-delegates, crushed in income(campaign at least), crushed in national polls, and the obvious: any variation of delegates,popular votes,states won, endorsements. Today I read a lengthy article about the mass exodus of mid/upper level staffers. I'm sure Ms Traister can spin that into an omen of impending victory. The Confederacy could have used you to bolster the troops the day before Appomattox.

A vote for Hillary is a vote for McCain
No other way to slice it. It doesn't matter at this point if you think Hillary is a better candidate. If you are at all interested in having a Democrat in the White House and you have a brain, you will recognize that voting for Hillary is the wrong move on Tuesday.
I don't know why we rely on Hillary to bow out, and not instead rely on the American people to 1) see through her transparent scorched-earth campaign desperation; and 2) not bite at the type of manufactured controversies that are created and perpetuated by the MSM, the one industry that stands to gain from a protracted race.
But I guess that would be expecting too much from a population as intellectually lazy as Americans. We'll get the president we deserve.

Some People are Dumb, Some are Willfully Ignorant
I'm not really sure about this article... is is written by someone who is stupid and has nothing to say... or is it written by someone who is willfully, actively, ignorant.
No matter. It's dumb. And you are, if you believe the drek that somehow, this bloody mess that is the Hillary Clinton war machine (otherwise referred to as a "campaign") has been good for anybody but Hill, Bill, and the leeches on all side who lap up the cash that her war machine bleeds...
Idiots who believe this is "good" and shows how well "democracy" works, probably believe the current president that the war in Iraq is "worth it" because they now have "democracy"
Fact is, this mess is a mess. It's not "good" for anything.
Next time someone aims at your loved ones with a hammer or worse, try protecting them with a kind word about "democracy" or "getting along"
If you get robbed, try smiling and think to yourself how your goods and cash are helping to "even things out."
Next time your doctor tells you to make a change in your diet or die, don't make the change. Assume that "everything will work out okay."
Go ahead, make willful ignorance work for you.
Also, try making up your own traffic laws. It's a free country. Drive on whatever side of the road you want. Go on red.
It's all good. It's all fine. Everything is everything. Kum-de-blankedy-blank-bay-ya.
Smoke that, Salon.

A new ad for Hillary...
We are so inspired by Hillary Clinton's new "If you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen" TV ad, that we had to create our own homage ad for her, using more famous quotes from Harry S. Truman.

What do you know?
When the article ostensibly addressing both candidates was negative, the sole picture was of Obama (okay, Obama and two former losers). Now that the tone of an article, again ostensibly addressing both candidates, is positive, the sole photo is of Hillary. Beaming. Behind an American flag.
Um, if it's "not over" why is only one candidate shown? And shown as if beaming at being awarded a great prize?
No editorial slant in all this of course.
And if you believe that, you might swallow Bush's case for WMD. Like, you know, Hillary did.

Of course Pennsylvania voters are pumped.
How long has it been since the nominee hasn't been decided by this point? It's got to be exciting to still be able to have an impact. But, trust me, those of us who have already voted are kind of tired of the whole thing.

No Hillary will not surpass Obama in pledged delegates. Yes the SDs will probably not (unless they have a very compelling reason to) overturn the pledged delegate counts. So in THAT regard it is over. BUT OVER can mean a lot of things:
Fast-forward to the day Obama get the nomimation. Won;t you be GLAD he campaigned in every single state and has some recognition and personal contact with the voters? He seems to do well whenever that happens: State after state he has dwindled her lead from double digits - heck, she was supposed to be the nominee by now! Its WORSK for him to get to know people and he'll need that against McCain in the GE because people are already familiar with McCain, he's been around a long time.
So why is it that you think its BAD for him to visit states, sign up literally hundred of thousands of new voters and energize the party? Why? (Frankly I thin one of the FIRST things he should do when he gets the nomination is come to my state Florida and also to Michigan, sign up some voters get people amped up).
Its also a good thing that he's up against "GOP-lite" style attacks of teh Clinton campaign and to a much lesser degree the McCain campaign. What's wrong with that? Its good for him. He will be the nominee.
So come on, there's no way around it: this is NOT a bad thing but will ultimately work in the party's (and Obama's) favor.
