One last thing about PA & OH
Kerry won PA and barely lost OH.
And I have dust bunnies with more charisma than Kerry.
But sure...Obama will lose those states in a blowout. I'll buy that...
now does anyone know where I can get me some prime Florida Real Estate?
;P

Presidential Campaign or it is Hillary's Debt Consolidation Plan !
Well, every one knows that the race was over after South Carolina and Indiana Primaries.
Hillary also knows it well, however, she is more focused on paying off her debts at this time rather than her presidential bid, so she will continue until she is out of red ( $20 million debt), she will continue her campaign as long as she is getting contributions at hillary clinton dot com.
There is no shortage of people in United States who will fall pray to her political rhetoric and misguided speeches ( for example: her gas tax gimmick ) and also the people who will be with her because of race.
Good luck on your long shot Hillary, but don't count on it.

Man, I so hope you aren't right about that comment. If you are right I'd be simply flabbergasted. What a cynical way to treat people who believe in you.
Wow. I fervently pray that you aren't correct. As much as I have issues with Clinton, I'd HATE to see her supporters used in such a cheap manner.

The West
Re: "For Clinton to win, she has to do well in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida.Those states are less crucial for Obama, as he puts a larger variety of western states in play: Colorado, New Mexico, Montana, Nevada, and maybe even Arizona. Missouri and Iowa come into play. ."
Hillary is more competitive in the West than Obama. She would easily win CO, NM, and NV. She's also competitive in Missouri. Arizona is going Republican no matter what, and Iowa has never even elected an woman to Congress, so I'm not sure if Hillary can win there.
If Obama is the nominee, McCain will be stronger in the West than he would have been against Hillary. The only region I think Obama has in the bag is the East.

@rapidfox
What a ridiculous theory. Every day she stays in the race she increases her campaign debt, but probably isn't raising enough money to pay for it. I'm betting that she has given up on any hope of being able to pay back the "loan" she made to her campaign, but I doubt she cares - she and her husband have never shown a desire to have the kinds of things that come from having millions of dollars. Unlike Reagan and Bush I, Bill Clinton has focused much of his efforts in the years since he was President on raising money for his foundation, not himself.
Is it that difficult to accept that Clinton is staying in because she believes that she is doing the right thing, not because of money? Or is it necessary to continue to demonize her, even after Obama has supposedly clinched the nomination, because hating her is the only way to justify Obama's nomination?

The Spoiler
Hillary Clinton in the new Ralph Nader.
Right now she is the only person who can give the Republicans the presidency.

Hillary more competitive in the West than Obama?
Do you have external links to support that statement? The CW seems to be that Obama has better support in CO than Hillary. Here's a Rassmussen poll that backs the CW up:
Monday, April 21, 2008
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in Colorado shows the race for the state’s Electoral College Votes is still close between John McCain and Barack Obama. Obama leads McCain 46% to 43%. At the same time, McCain has a fourteen-point lead over Hillary Clinton in the Centennial State.http://rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/colorado/election_2008_colorado_presidential_election
Rasmussen also shows Obama doing better in NM (but it is a lot tighter).
Rasmussen has a handy page for all of their state by state polls:

From a CNN interview of Hillary Clinton
Hillary Clinton, May 14, 2008 -
I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that anyone who supported me ... understands what a grave error it would be not to vote for Sen. Obama
There you go.

Let's get real
If this race was between two men and it was this close, would be pundits be laying it on this thick against one of the candidates?
Would there be all of these demands for one of the candidates to drop out.
The answer to both questions is a resounding "NO".
There have been many nomination battles that went all the way to the convention before it was decided who the nominee was going to be.
I am really tired of Obama and his supporters, bragging as though he was already the nominee. Ted Kennedy's and Michelle Obama's comments about there was no way that Hillary was going to be the vice president on the ticket. Personally, I don't think that she wants to be VP but this is a total lack of respect.
Now I reading that Obama doesn't need the support of whites, women, seniors, hispanics or the Jewidh Democrats.
The bragging and the false claims just amplifies Obama's political inexperience and illustrates why he should not the the Democratic nominee for president.
In order to turn back the many abuses of the Bush administration and the Republicans, the Democrats need a huge landslide. That is not going to happen if this bizarre behavior continues on the part of Obama's supporters.

alright
I'll get real.
If there were two white men running instead of a woman and a biracial man and it was this tight....well, actually they wouldn't still be running because the one losing would've been forced out already by the Party Elite. And we'd be gearing into the General Campaign.
They'd love to do the same thing here but must walk on eggshells in order not to alienate either candidates base. It's a byproduct of the Identity Politics we've been undergoing this season. Hey, I don't like it too much, but it's unavoidable...until we actually live in a post-racial post-gendered society these issues will continue to rear their head - identity simply means too much to people for it not to.
So yeah, I'll get real...you're playing with some pretty dangerous kindling there kiddo, and until you (and others) quit with the Victimapalooza we'll continue to sit beside a powder keg (and giving off sparks as the immortal Ms. Tyler would say :)
