Does she still have a reasonable chance? probably not.
At this point, does Hillary Clinton still have a non-negligible probability of winning the nomination? Every delegate count I've seen over the last few days suggests that she does not. She would have to win by an enormous margin in every single remaining primary, and that's very unlikely. If someone else has reliable information that suggests otherwise, I would be interested to see that analysis. (I'm not being snarky - I'm just asking...)
I supported Obama in my state's primary, but it wasn't an easy choice for me. I liked both candidates, but Obama's position on Iraq sealed the deal for me. If Clinton were the nominee, I would gladly support her. But if she no longer has a viable chance, she needs to step aside and help put a stop to all this stupid in-fighting. We seriously do NOT need 4 more years of Bush-like policy, but if we don't stop the internal bickering and move solidly behind a nominee, we'll undermine ourselves and get exactly that.
I know some folks support their candidate so fervently that they will refuse to vote for the other candidate should he/she be the nominee. But, come on people!! Obama and Clinton are much more in alignment with each other than either of them is with McCain. Contrary to what the media would have you believe, McCain is NOT a moderate - he's very conservative. Let's try to focus on the larger goals of turning the economy around and ending this horrible war.
