WASHINGTON — Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton needs three breaks to wrest the Democratic presidential nomination from Senator Barack Obama in the view of her advisers.
She has to defeat Mr. Obama soundly in Pennsylvania next month to buttress her argument that she holds an advantage in big general election states. She needs to lead in the total popular vote after the primaries end in June. And Mrs. Clinton is looking for some development to shake confidence in Mr. Obama so that superdelegates, Democratic Party leaders and elected officials who are free to decide which candidate to support overturn his lead among the pledged delegates from primaries and caucuses.

Without new votes in Florida and Michigan, it will be that much more difficult for Mrs. Clinton to achieve a majority in the total popular vote in the primary season, narrow Mr. Obama’s lead among pledged delegates or build a new wave of momentum.
Mrs. Clinton’s advisers had hoped that the uproar over inflammatory remarks made by Mr. Obama’s longtime pastor that has rocked his campaign for a week might lead voters and superdelegates to question whether they really know enough about Mr. Obama to back him. Although it is still early to judge his success, the speech Mr. Obama delivered on race in Philadelphia to address the controversy was well received and praised even by some Clinton supporters.

In truth, in interviews, Mrs. Clinton’s advisers said that task was tough and growing tougher and that the critical questions were what would happen with Florida and Michigan and the possibility of developments involving Mr. Obama’s relationship with his spiritual adviser, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.

BWAHAHAHA! What do they expect the "Clinton supporters" to do - call Obamarama a bigot in public? Not likely.

Now that is the definitive popcorn-eatin graphic :-)
I stealin that for future use.
GET THOSE DELEGATES BACK IN HERE! TURN THE MACHINES BACK ON!
be my guest :)
Is Michael Jackson starring in “The Barack Obama Story.” They’re both black and white.
They're both flaming metrosexuals, too.
her only chance at this point is “hoping” for a convenient Arkancide.
The Man behind the curtain will be George Soros who is funding some of all three candidates.. Yes even John McLaim..
All of this talk about what Hillary can try to do is simply nonsense.
Pennsylvania conservatives should switch registration by March 24th and pull the lever for Hillary.
Belonging to a racist church for 20 years and getting the New Black Panther Party endorsement is a disqualifier.
shouldn’t they vote for obama because he’s more defeatable?
nothing wrong with Hillary or the GOP using Wright’s racist America hatred against his boy Obama.
Hillary has the balls to keep it up, hope the GOP does
Isn't she supposed to be the first "black" First Lady???
LOL I almost always fall for the onion.
Some idiot forgot the timing thing, I think it was Limbaugh. The GOP is to do the political hits AFTER the primary, not before.
No.... Bill is supposed the be both the first black president and first black first lady
