The other day 'John King' on CNN, did a mathematical calculation, giving Clinton all of the remaining wins by a fairly large majority, and added michigan and florida, with another generous majority, and she still loses. She can't win mathematically.
But she can twist the election by inventing a scandel about obama, which would turn
the delegates against obama, and make him look unelectable in the fall. Then the
democrats could decide that she would be a better candidate against McCain. Do you
think she would do that? I do.

She can win mathematically, it is however unlikely, because of the Democrats' superdelegates which have the right to "swing" anyway they want.

And to answer your question, yes, I think she would, and she has to an extent, and even Saturday Night Live has picked up on it and has mocked her.

It has become the running joke in the Democratic party. She's not going to win and Obama is playing it cool, and that's great. I hope he maintains this when running against McCain.

Neither are stupid and neither are perfect. It's going to be interesting.

Her strategy is, when she has won the next 2 primaries which will be important in the fall, she will, (even though she won't win by numbers), try to convince the democratic
party that Obama can't win those states in the fall, thus the democrats lose the election,
and John King again pointed out all of the states she will try to convince them that she
can win in the fall, to beat McCain, and it could work, although, when Obama still has the
numbers, what will happen to the party if they hand it over to 'her', when he really won,
the party could 'implode', but she won't care, if she has won, she will leave all the fuss
behind her, and skip right on in to the whitehouse.
There is so much about 'race' in the u.s., so different to us, apparantly majority of
white women will vote for her, but not for obama if he is in the gen. election, it is
very tireing listening them talk about blue collar white workers, white women, blacks,
hispanics, and on and on.
I think they will take it away from him, I didn't realize they could do that, the numbers
aren't the confirmation at all, other things can interfere, I see that now, I wish I
wasn't interested in these situations, but I am, why can't I just watch cooking shows or
something.

Hillary clobbers in Kentucky. Obama wins in Oregon and takes majority of pledged delegates.

Brilliant speech by Obama tonight. I'm amazed at his political talent and oratory ability. He reminds me of a cross between JFK and MLK. If he could only get the support of uneducated rural white voters (i.e. the good banjo players).

I also give Hillary lots of credit. She's like the energizer bunny.

His speech was marvelous, he is a natural speaker/leader, and the rest of the world needs to meet him, he will do wonders in bringing the u.s. back up to respectability.
And, yes, hilliary is a fiesty energetic campaigner, and has done lots for women in
the future of politics. I wonder if Obama will ask her to be his VP, I don't think so,
but maybe the party will pressure him to do that, because of her strong campaign.
They talk a lot about Obama not getting enough blue collar/white voters, but they
never say 'why', and I think it's because they can't. I thinkthose so called blue collar workers are just prejudice and
will not vote for a black person., (even though he is half white, no one seems to
recognize that fact). There is still way too much hatred for the blacks in the u.s., and
I hope he remains safe.
