  • Hillary is delusional

    So much so that she'll take this ALL the way to the convention. History won't be so kind to her or her career.

  • Yes WE DID

    Hillary's magic number is magic alright. Yes Obama has reached the majority of popular votes and pledged delegates under the official DNC rules established when this primary election began.

    He is only need about 55 more super delegates, maybe less to ge the nomination.

  • WHY ISN'T ANYONE TALKING ABOUT

    the fact that pledged delegates can change their minds at the Convention and that some superdelegates can change their minds too?

    Obama, as badly as he and his people want to shut the nomination door in Clinton's face, will not be able to do so until the "other half of the Democratic Party" says he can - or "no, he can't."

  • Obama's Faith In America

    Obama's words about politically divisive tactics may be composed of simple words. "They won't work because you won't let them. Not this time. Not this year."

    These words may be an acknowledgment of the mistakes the American electorate made in electing George W. Bush and the Republicans. But it's also an optimistic belief that the American people have the power to learn from their mistakes and do better when the chance is offered to them. Here's hoping the American people seize that power and embrace the change Obama offers.
