Perhaps just before the convention so he doesn’t have time to answer it. After all, that isn’t too late. Supers can change their minds at any time, and even the pledged delegates are not bound on the first ballot. If Hillary went all the way back to kindergarten, she may well have something on him.

I have no clue what Florida will do. Obama is going to want half the delegates.

I sacrificed my vote yesterday in order to get rid of her.

She still won. It will take me a long time to forgive Rush for helping her.

Shoes keep dropping.
This is going to probably be my only source of amusement this year, and I dearly hope it lasts, because once that ticket is settled, McCain is in for a world of hurt.

I fully expect that if Clinton remains in this race, and I see no reason for her to drop out now, that the final tally will be within 100 delegates pledged.

What will happen with the supers does not look good for her, and I do not believe for one second in any “October surprise.”

I also do not believe that all of this vast expenditure is for 2012.
That gives any mortal too much credit, and this is played for keeps in the real and now.

I'm waiting for her name to appear on the ticket as VP, and that is the only real reason that I can see for her to remain in this.
Actually, I would not be surprised to hear of her pulling a Kerry type of deal with McCain if she doesn't get her way onto the ticket in some position, nor would I be in the least surprised to hear McCain accept it.

THAT would be a delicious irony.

VP for her, even under Hussein, would still be a stunning achievement.
Albeit, she wouldn't get the top slot, but she would be the first female VP in history and would be well positioned to further her political career and keep her and Bill in the spotlight.

Don't laugh. I believe that a ticket with her on it will win with any party.
I sincerely hope that the damage done is too great for that to happen. - Or McCain is toast.

>I have no clue what Florida will do

Nobody here in Florida does either, Doug, but one thing is for sure:

As far as the dems are concerned - and I have seen and heard this exact phrase - this is Hillary country, and Obama would have been crushed into the dirt here.

I can’t see him getting half of any count here, nor the State democrat party agreeing to that split

Hussein had better up his life insurance policy if that were to be the case. He would only be a heart beat away from her obsession.

That's not a good spot.

How do they get away with stealing 4 delegates from Mrs. Clinton?

Four votes can be a lot. If 4 Guamanians had flipped to Hillary a few days ago during the voting, she would have beaten Obama there. New Hampshire's 4 electoral votes in 2000 were enough to spare the US a Gore Presidency.

Hillary as VP would be the makings for a William Harrison presidency.

It was certainly convenient that the candidates who removed their names were the ones who were going to lose.

At the time, Hillary was going to win Florida and Michigan whether or not people had their names on the ballot or not.

How do they figure that, as Obama wasn’t even on the ballot?

Well, for a few months, maybe.

Rules are for republicans, white conservative men and the little people. We leftists are entitled to adjust any rule because we are... um ... er entitled to.

Oh come on! Gary Coleman already had his ''five minutes'' with his bid to be the Governor of California. I say the Mi delegates should go to this guy!

Wow - HRC really took some drugs before that interview! To say she’s never considered the possibility she wouldn’t be the nominee with a straight face???
