If this holds, that moves the DNC magic marker up to 2,102.5 up from 2025.5


What number will the DNC roulette wheel stop on?

You of all people realize that Hillary is going to be the Democrat nominee. Don’t you?

Uh. No. How did you arive at that math?

She will release it at the time for optimum damage.

If she had it seems to me she would have already used it so she could win outright and have more time to unite the party before the main contest. I see no logical reason for her to have held back.

Typical. Leftists want to change (their own) rules in mid-stream. Like I’ve seen in print a number of times; if they can’t even nominate someone, how can they run this Country? If the “average American” paid any attention to this Stuper delegate nonsense, they wouldn’t be voting for a party that can undermine their popular vote. </reality> Oh, never mind.

At least the dimRATS are consistent: just like their views on taxes: reward the cheaters and screw the honest payers...

I wonder how they arrived @ 54% for HRC?

Since Barack Obama wasn't even on the ballot in MI, can we give his delegates to anyone???

How about President Gary Coleman?

What if she releases it at the last minute before the convention and he doesn’t have time to answer it?

I still can't get the thought of a Hillary/Obama, Obama/ Hillary ticket out of my head. Beware of wheeling and dealing behind the DNC Convention doors. This has got to be the most gut wrenching election of my entire life. I'm not moved by any of the candidates so far.

Not true, she only received 10 more than Obama. He is still far ahead of her.

She really thought last night's primary results were going to be the opposite of what they turned out to be: Big win in Indiana and a close loss in NC.

If there is something out there on Obama, she's dusting her fingerprints off the story before it hits the fan.

She's not giving up this nomination. As she said today: "an election can change in a day".

Just a little American Idol drama...the black Idol Syesha, who hysterically cried after her song last night explaining that it was about the civil rights movement and comparing it to her personal Idol journey of change (rolling eyes), just ticked off half of the country tonight by making political commentary. During the elimination segment, she again says her song was all about change in 2008 because we might have our first female or black president. Wonder how many fans have voters remorse tonight.

I’ve been a political junkie since I was 16 and worked for Barry Goldwater. This is the most incredible political race of my lifetime. A year ago, the witch thought she was going to be coronated. Her gang thought they would get an electoral landslide.

I’m quite familiar with Michigan and there are no leaders.

There are democrat liars, frauds, con-men, charlatans, cheats, dead ducks, socialists, welfare bums, turds, maggots, snakes, scoundrels, thieves, fops, lizards, crumbs, creeps, bottom-feeders, pole-cats, dickheads, buttheads, coelacanths, but no leaders.

That's my thinking too.

Hillary holding back until after all the primaries are finished sounds like an Operation Chaos wet dream.

Any speculation as to when that time would be?

So if it’s 73-55 in Michigan and 105-67 in Florida Hillary gains 56 votes on Mr. Smooth Talker.
