Clinton notches another do-or-die big-state win in Pennsylvania. Which is more troubling for Democrats -- her scorched-earth tactics or Obama's failure to build on his base?
  • But OK, I'm game

    You are a smart and affluent Hillary supporter. So tell me...

    HOW DOES SHE WIN?

    Just because my basketball team went 23-7 over the last 30 games did not chnage the fact that they finished 40-42. They did not get the #1 seed, they got the #7 seed.

    That is all I want to know. How does she win the nomination? Without alienating the party's core voting block and thus making a November win impossible?

    If she can get 63% from here on out it will be because something major happens, like Obama turns out to actually be Muslim or gets caught in the stall with Larry Craig. But you have to agree that a straight up win is unlikely. WSo what is the point?

    Cytherea, maybe we should just only nominate white men - since they are the safe choice. Right? Because that seems to be what you believe. And we used to do better in the South before civil rights, so let's rescind that and get the Southern Dems back. And Dems won all the time before women had the right to vote, so let's roll that back. Maybe even bring back the property requirement.

    Sound reasonable?
