I believe that Barack Obama will defeat Hillary and win the Democratic nomination. I think that this weekend's victories in states as diverse as Washington State, Louisiana, Nebraska, and Maine illustrates his national appeal and demonstrates Hillary's inability to win in states without large immigrant and Latino populations.
Hillary's results on Super Tuesday, which amounted to a draw with Obama, will be her high water mark and will represent the closest she will ever come to the party nomination.
Right now, CBS has Obama ahead in elected delegates with 1134, while Hillary has only 1131.By the time Virginia, Maryland, DC, Wisconsin, and Hawaii vote during the next week, Obama will have a lead over Clinton of about 100 delegates, even counting the super delegates who have thus far committed themselves.
March 4th will, at worst, be a wash for Obama with his probably wins in Ohio, Rhode Island and Vermont offsetting his probable defeat in Texas. (Although in Texas' open primary, Republicans and Independents may flock to the Dem primary to beat Hillary).
And then come a list of states almost all of which should go for Obama, including likely victories in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Indiana. By the convention, he will have more than enough delegates to overcome the expected margins Hillary may rack up among super delegates.
And don't bet on all the super delegates staying hitched to Hillary. These folks are politicians, half of them public office holders who are really good at reading the handwriting on the wall and really bad at gratitude for past favors.
Since 2004, I have predicted that Hillary Clinton would be the nominee. But, given the consistently amazing performance of Obama, his superior organizational and fund-raising skills, his inspiration of young people, and the flat and completely uninspiring performance by Hillary, it looks to me like it will be Obama as the Democratic nominee.
If it’s close, the RATS ruling the ship would rather throw the grifters overboard than the black mate, and have a voter rebellion to handle. There won’t be a voter rebellion when Hitlery is thrown to sharks for the simple reason of White Guilt, but Obama can no longer be easily disposed off.
Up to now I thought the succubus might be finished. Now??? Morris’ picks are no better than mine.
I'll tell ya, Obama gives me the creeps. There's something so Orwellian about him and his campaign. I don't understand the focus on defeating Hillary when Obama is worse. I wonder how many people know just how left-wing he is and what a disaster he'd be in the war on Islamofascism.
HEH.....
Leave it to Hillary to change the meaning of “ A Walk In The Park” from being something very easy to being something very deadly.
Agree ... anytime Morris predicts anything it almost always goes the other way. Good, of course, for Hillary.
..or Obama's body maybe found in rural Arkansas followed by a ruling from the coroner that the two bullet holes on the back of his skull imply he committed suicide
Morris is wrong.You think the Hil is going to let Obama win-HA.
.
LOL!
It’s catching!
Nice work potlatch!
Does this guy actually think his opinion is worth anything?
Heck, his Houston campaign office just gave the Clintons a gift with the photo of that stupid Che drawing hung up proudly for the world to see.
That is classic Clinton.
LOL
Now, if she could just work on biting her lower lip while appearing contrite.
Dick Morris is a joke when it comes to predicting the outcomes of elections.
Broken Clock is right twice a day - except if its hanging in Dick Morris’ office.
Now if I can just get Chelsea into the act...LOL.
Too late for Buddy or Sox!
Oh...I thought he said HRC was invincible. Obama as president will be a trip. Going state by state with him would be interesting and certainly a fun guy to run against given all of the peculiarities.
This is curious.
Dick knows the clinton cheat machine inside out.
If he thinks that machine might be broken...maybe it is.
[That is classic Clinton.]
She learned from the best!! devolve suggested flipping that Hillary pict and it worked out good!
That is what I think. These people are for entertainment purposes. I don’t take them seriously.
