Quote of the day
Lieberman couldn't say exactly what process would let Clinton emerge with the nomination, but she was certain her logic was compelling, and that was the bottom line. "If people stop and think a minute, then she has an excellent chance."
This perfectly sums up the caricature of the diehard Hillary supporter: someone so out of touch with the state of the campaign that they still think that she still has any chance whatsoever of winning the nomination.
Team Clinton has derided Obama supporters from the get-go as a bunch of delusional idealists completely divorced from reality. And yet, it's Hillary's most rabid supporters who ignore her pledged delegate deficit, her shrinking superdelegate lead (which will be gone by this time next week), her popular vote deficit (even counting Florida), her bankrupt campaign, and the fact that she's only won half as many contests as Obama. And then they have the nerve to say things like, "if people stop and think a minute, then she has an excellent chance."
The only way you could continue to hold out hope for Hillary is if you're doing the exact opposite. The last thing Hillary needs is for her supporters to stop and think a minute. It would be the final nail in her campaign's coffin.
