Translation: The DNC knows its base are nut jobs and a Hillary win makes the LA riots look like Christmas.

The Democrats have the same problem as Republican...

There is NO viable candidate!

This time - there can only be a winner from among LOSERS.

"Let's take this process through its conclusion. When do you call democracy off?" he said.

Until the end of August when the DNC convention ends, which may include overtime. LoL!

with respected US newspaper Politico stressing Obama would have to be "hit by a political meteor"

The meteor hit last week. It's name was Jeremiah Wright.

Wish them the best of luck with nominating Archie O. Bama and his gang of Whitey-Haters.

“Wish them the best of luck with nominating Archie O. Bama and his gang of Whitey-Haters.”

Whether or not Obama gets the nomination, any chance he had of actually getting elected died last week. And this comes from someone who has been arguing for a year now that if Obama won the nomination he would win the general. The tide is definitely changing.

Which party will do a better job of closing ranks around their candidate?

“Either candidate would need 2,025 delegates to secure the nomination, but with just about 500 more delegates still up for grabs it will be virtually impossible for either to win the contest outright.”

That is the important point. Both camps are claiming the other camp can’t win. And, both camps are right. All of these aricles about pressure are designed to increase the pressure on one side or another. As long as neither side blinks (and why should they), it will be a stand off.

Another important point is that it probably won’t be the super delegates that decide which candidate. The candidate will be selected on the second or third ballot when the delegates are released to vote their ‘conscience’.

At this point, it is actually in every one’s best interest to take several ballots. It gets both candidates off the hook, the DNC is off the hook, and the super delegates won’t be painted as the bad guys. I even expect the MI and FL delegations to be seated after the first two ballots. Just in time for their votes to count.

All I can think of now is :
1. "Lord loves a working man", and
2. "Don't trust Whitey"

How much do you all bet that the AP wouldn’t be writing an article with that headline if it was the Republican party that was in the same position?
