"It's over" (Hillary supporter in Arkansas says Obama will win nomination)

I'd be happy to be wrong. For a variety of reasons, I'd prefer Hillary Clinton to be the Democratic presidential nominee.

But it's not going to happen. She'll be clobbered in Wisconsin tomorrow. She might run ahead, even win, the popular vote in Texas, but the delegate count will be close, probably pro-Obama. The media talk, the popular mood, the times -- they all work for Obama.

Finally, there's been the Clinton campaign. Fighting, seriously, today about Obama's borrowing of rhetoric from a friend is a sign of desperation. Obama is derivative. So is everyone. And Bill Clinton -- who knew? -- has proved to be a negative.

The media megaphone can't be underestimated.

Some of it is crazy. Some of it unfair. So is life.

Obama will win the nomination. Polls today say he'll beat McCain everywhere -- in every key state and nationally. Those same polls said the same thing about Hillary Clinton's sure dominance a few months ago.

For the record.

She Who Must Not Be Named is the Anointed One. The plan all along was for Her to be the nominee. Barak Husayn Obama is nothing more than a stalking horse, so She can point to this campaign and say, “See? I had to fight for this nomination, it was NOT given to Me!”

[jveritas]

In reality she needs to win Ohio, Texas, and Pennsylvania by 2:1 margin (65% to 35%) to get even with Obama in delegates count because right now he is leading by approximately 140 pledged delegates.

I thought I saw national polls today or yesterday stating McCain was beating either Dem. True or not true???

True.

“She’ll be clobbered in Wisconsin tomorrow. “

I concur. It’s Obama-Mania around here. I’M even tempted to vote for him tomorrow...NOT! ;)

[Freee-dame]

while we are at war with radical islam?

People have forgotten about this, especially those who vote Dem. Those pictures we see from time to time are just our military being imperialists /s.

[pray4liberty]

There is no way that Hillary does not get the Dem nomination.

Yep, even if it means having to rub out Obama to do it. I wouldn't put anything past that Jezebel.

[Norman Bates]

Really? The last count I saw I believe had Hillary back about 67 delegates.

[fatima]

Thanks HAL9000.

[Cacique]

btt

[LdSentinal]

62 delegates.

[GOPRaleigh]

That’s counting the super delegates. Obama has a 130+ lead in pledged delegates.

[elpadre]

thanks - thought my aging memory was playing tricks.

[popdonnelly]

McCain is ahead? It must be his appeal among independents and Democrats.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Ping to 64. ;)

“What kind of fool supports a guy with no resume and a muslim back ground while we are at war with radical islam?”

We call them idiots. Arrogant, ignorant idiots (or Democrats, if you prefer).

[EDINVA]

That is the most hideous presidential library EVER !

[Secret Agent Man]

I don’t know. There are a lot of conservative/repubs voting for her tomorrow as a strategic vote. I am. It’s a weird situation where a vote for her now is actually a vote against her, in the long run. Short term it’s a vote against Obama.

[Bogie]

Arkansas? I thought she was from NY.

[Senator Goldwater]

I thought I saw national polls today or yesterday stating McCain was beating either Dem. True or not true???

True.

All Texas and Ohio Freepers:

Let the House of Clinton fall.

Bury the Beeotch, once and for all.

.....borrowing of rhetoric from a friend is a sign of desperation......

Clinton opposition research gone awry. They knew his campaign manager worked for Deval. Simple to compare speeches. It was a joke to try to make something of such a triviality.

Obama got 0 votes in some Harlem precincts..

The underlings are desperate and trying too hard.
