Obama can't close the deal
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?
By Walter Shapiro [2008-04-23]

  • We've been through this

    There is a difference between being ahead in pledged delegates and getting the few you need to get to 2025 (which I believe is erroneous, since it seems like MI and FL were never removed from this benchmark - classical Dean eff-up) compared to getting 250-300 vote bump by party insiders.

    It is legal, but the result would be a PR nightmare. It's apples:oranges.

    Look - do what you like, but just be damn sure you don't lose the party's base for the next 25 years. OK?

    At the end of the day I think we all agree that this is desirable.
