Hillary enters death-with-dignity phase

If she hasn't already quit, it's hard to envision Clinton continuing her unwinnable -- even with Florida and Michigan -- battle beyond June 4.

    veronica

    it's fairly well documented that Kennedy's father rigged West Virginia. And your meme about transposing primary results into electoral college outcomes in the November election are disingenuous at best and just stupid at worst. McCain will not come close in NY or California. As a reluctant Californian myself, I ask myself how the budgetary bungling and horrendous mismanagement of California by Ahhhnold the PIg will provide fertile ground for a republkan in November. IT will not. McCain has no chance, except for the hellhole between Modesto and Bakersfield. The rest of the state: faggedabouddit. The Clinton loyalists always paste together the straw man that the state's she's won could not be won by Obama in the general. Horsehockey. What is true that some state's he's carried- Wyoming, Idaho, Utah- won't vote for a Democrat. If Washington and Lincoln were running on the Dem. ticket. those crackers wouldn't vote for 'em. Some "solid south" states, like the Carolinas, Florida, Louisiana- may be in play for Obama when they would not be for Hillary (it's academic; she is finished). Alabammie and Mississloppy are still confederate states. But Georgia might be on our mind. So, read up and wise up. There a new wind blowing, and it's not the one that was blowing Big Bill.
