Its Obama. Barring some unforeseen development, he'll be nominated this summer.

OMG how much money did Dean shovel to Russert to say ‘Obama will be the nominee’? This is what they WISH would happen. There is no forkin’ way Hillary quits. No way.

[JRandomFreeper]

I would hate to underwrite his life insurance policy, given the way "things" seem to happen to enemies of the Clintons.

May he live a long and happy life. Just don't ask for me to bet on it.

Like the Hindenburg, she went down. My guess is she'll run again in 2012 if Obama isn't President. At we least we can be spared the sight of her on the national stage for awhile. This has been one of the strangest presidential election years I have seen in my lifetime.

It doesn’t matter if she quits, she lost when she lost 11 in a row.

This is what they WISH would happen. There is no forkin’ way Hillary quits. No way.

Hillary's "Electability" Argument Falls Flat.

Dude: you are now dangerously close to becoming the FR equivalent of one of those old Japanese soldiers who arthritically stagger their way out of the jungle, wholly unaware that WWII has been over for the last sixty, seventy years or so. Seriously. ;)

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Like the Hindenburg a young, fresh-faced White House intern, she went do --

... oh, all right, then. I'll stop. ;)

[Secret Agent Man]

Obama hadn’t won a state since late February. NC is the first since then.

[ncalburt]

The FR who posted this stuff and trashed you, hates McCain and hates Clinton . And he never trashes Obama . You do the math.

[Junior_G]

Russert mentioned that Hillary is cancelling all her appearances. Can this be verified? I would interpret that as a pretty sure sign that she is about to drop out.

[doug from upland]

Wow. The dishes and expletives are flying tonight. This analysis doesn’t quite fit her statement that she is on to the White House.

[Secret Agent Man]

Dude, stop tokin’ your weed and get off the boogie board.

I didn’t say that she is electable. I am saying there is no way she concedes based on tonite’s results. She’s going all the way to the convention. And that is exactly what I want to see. I want to see that convention totally in panic, and having the superdelegates have to pick the candidate, and fracture that party into a dozen splinters.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Obama hadn’t won a state since late February.

Ummmmmmmmm... ;)

[Impy]

She cannot overtake his delegate lead, supers wouldn’t dare shaft the black messiah.

[beaversmom]

Sorry folks, I don’t see Hillary bailing after tonight. I’d only count her out if it was announced she had died and even then I’d do it cautiously.

[goldstategop]

I think there's a point when its just not possible to change the delegate math. That point has been reached and Hillary knows if she wants to run again in four years' time, creating a split in the party would only hurt her chances next time around. That is - assuming Obama loses in November.

This isn’t going to be pretty. I think Lil’ O is going to be the next president, and even if Lil’ O shoots himself in the foot often enough to hand the game to McCain (I don’t see McCain beating him otherwise) then all we get is McCain!

For all the Republicans thinking that Lil’ O is the going to be easy for McCain to beat, I ask them to think back on what happened the last time we put up an older war hero against a young, slick snake oil vendor...for that matter, look what W did to the Donk war “hero”.

[Secret Agent Man]

My bad, I thought I heard Rush say the other day Obama hadn’t won any since late February. Maybe he did say it, but a long time ago. Anyway thanks for the link, it has some really good info on it.
