The scope of Hillary Clinton's latest resurrection can be appreciated only in light of the elaborate preparations that had been made for her expeditious burial. That she is very much alive can be attributed to her true grit but also to the revelation that Barack Obama is not a miraculously perfect candidate after all.
Assuming that Clinton would at best eke out a victory in Ohio on Tuesday to end her long losing streak, prominent Democrats were organizing a major private intervention. A posse of party leaders would plead with her to end her campaign and recognize Obama as the Democratic standard-bearer. To buttress this argument, several elite unelected superdelegates (including previous Clinton supporters) were ready to come out for Obama. Those plans went on hold Tuesday night.
Clinton's transformation of the political climate with her decisive victory in Ohio and unexpected narrow win in Texas coincided with Obama facing adversity for the first time in his magical candidacy, and he did not handle it well. The result is not only the prospect of seven weeks of fierce campaigning by the two candidates, stretching out to the next primary showdown April 22 in Pennsylvania, but also perhaps what Democratic leaders feared but never really thought possible until now: a contested national convention in Denver the last week of August.
By chance, this critical week for Obama began Monday with jury selection in the Chicago corruption trial of his former friend and fundraiser Tony Rezko. For the first time, the story of this political fixer's connections with the Democratic Party's golden boy spread beyond the Chicago media. In a contentious news conference, Obama was uncommunicative. He ended the session by walking out and announcing that eight questions were enough.

Romans 2:4.
Sorry - this is actually the WaPo
Because you can’t kill Satan?
...or was I being too literal?
I can’t believe how many people bought her “death”. Been winning since before day 1.
Obama has pulled a McGovern on the Democratic Party, and the establishment Democrats have been in an absolute panic for weeks, trying to figure out how to stop it.
He figured out he could GAME the system with these caucus’s, using his charisma to overcome the wench’s evil manner.
And it WORKED.
Now the Democrats face the prospect of thier elites overriding the will of thier voters.
Ain’t it grand?
Well, THAT’S an eye-catching headline.
They did not use a wooden stake!
I read it. How does it relate to this article?
penicillin ?
Not enough garlic?..............
Grand, except Captain Queeg is going to lose in November. We’re going to have a democrat president. Would you rather it be the naive Obama, or the truly evil and corrupt Hillary? Personally, the thought of 4 (or 8) more years of the Clintons and their crime family in the White House makes me physically ill.
She isn’t dead because she is a klintoon!
The right tools have not been used...
silver bullet
garlic
holy water
steak
cross
fresh tossed virgin
hydraulic press (a la Terminator)
Conner McCloud of the Clan McCloud’s katana (there can beeee only one!)
etc.
she is in it to win it, and we haven’t seen any of the full on dirty tricks yet (Michigan/Florida being seated after a redux, dirt on her opponent that has yet to surface, etc.)
Dark Times!
It relates to the title.
“Why Clinton Isn’t Dead”
Two words: Rush Limbaugh
I know. What a choice! My husband is a Democrat and will vote for McCain in the general election. But he still has to vote in the PA primary. He’s decided he will vote for Hillary, although he’s aware it comes down to voting between inexperience and leftist idealogy and sheer corruption, evil even. I think McCain has a very good chance in Nov., so don’t give up hope.
Everyone knows that one silly!
No one has driven a wooden stake through her heart yet.
It’s the only way to kill those things!
How would you like your steak?
You’re absolutely right, and that’s why I’m forced to conclude that RUSH LIMBAUGH IS A BIG FAT IDIOT!!
Even if this is the first time his political instincts have failed him, they’ve failed him — and us - mightily.
