What would it take for Clinton to concede defeat? An insider remembers -- and draws lessons from -- the backroom deals that ended another brutal, racially charged Democratic slugfest.
  • "some odd psychological block" called empirical data

    Your [sesanders] post spelled out exactly why Obama cannot win in lucid, clear terms, something his backers refuse out of some odd psychological block to understand.

    These arguments might carry additional weight if they referenced any outside sources. Like a recent gallup poll showing Obama being McCain among Jewish dems 61%-32%. And McCain has Pastor Hagee to really antagonize the Catholics. I know Pat Buchanan is deeply pissed on this subject. Finally there seems to be quite a protest vote against McCain in the republican primaries. Why are all those people still voting for Huckabee, Romney, and Paul? He still faces the challenge of fully mobilizing his base.

    PRINCETON, NJ -- Barack Obama is faring better than might be expected among Jewish voters, beating John McCain in Gallup Poll Daily general-election matchups and trailing Hillary Clinton only slightly in Jewish Democrats' preferences for the Democratic nomination.
