Hillary may pull this race within 100 delegates. Every delegate is important.

IMO, McCain would lose to Hillary, deliberately.

What’s the going rate for Dem super delegates now? I’d hold out and be one of the last ones to commit at the convention. Bet the price will be right by then.

CLINTON BY THE NUMBERS

6,000: People who attended Clinton rallies in two cities

25,800: People who attended Obama rallies last month in four Oregon cities

1: Clinton campaign offices in Oregon

6: Obama campaign offices in Oregon

Looks Clinton is going to lose in Oregon. You heard it here first . . .

How much did that cost her / us? Three ambassadorships at a minimum, I’ll bet. It will be interesting to track the fortunes (figuratively and literally) of the super-delegates over the next few years.

I spent the past several days in Pittsburgh. I saw many more obama yard signs than hillary! signs. I was told, however, that I was in the more "progressive" part of Pittsburgh, and PA.

Will be interesting to see how PA shakes out.

Interesting that this new superdelegate has already committed herself, before the primary was even held in her state!

So I have a question for PA Democrats - why bother to vote at all? Obviously your vote doesn't count. The decision was made without you, since you can't be trusted to make the right one.

Wow...three?/s. Amazing how no one noted the 150 that Obama has gotten in the last month. Can someone say desperate?
