Viva Hillary Clinton!

Although she won Puerto Rico easily, Clinton seemed to be campaigning in an alternate reality, as hopes for the nomination slipped away.

    Lets make South Dakota ' the' final litmus test, OK?

    The blubbering Clintonettes, including the very angry Joan Walsh, should look to South Dakota as to Obama's overall appeal.

    I'm a fervent Obama person, and don't have a clue what's going to happen there - other than one of my favorite Senators supports Obama as well.

    It's very white, very 'mature', no large Hispanic or African American populations to speak of. It's somewhat neutral ground, that should lean to Hillary if she's right in all her rhetoric.

    But more importantly, and very profoundly, it will be the Native Americans that cast the deciding votes.

    The entire Clinton family has been campaigning there constantly. And Obama had full opportunities to campaign there.

    Tomorrow, Clinton can take her claims of victory and either gold plate them, or throw them in the gutter where the rest of her campaign lies.
