They're going to need a group intervention for their addiction to all things Hillary.

You don't like weak women,
You get bored too quick
And you don't like strong women
Cause they're hip to your tricks

...

But if you've got too many doubts
If there's no good reception for me
Then tune me out, 'cause honey
Who needs the static
It hurts the head
And you wind up cracking
And the day goes dismal

But if we look at what happened in ALL contests from March 1 to the bitter end, Hillary out-performed Obama in popular votes and primary wins. I don't know about the delegate count since March 1, but I know Hillary was the voters' choice in most primaries post March 1.

Obama has a SERIOUS electability problem. Let's be frank: most Americans will not vote for a guy whose preacher of 20 years is on tape shouting "God d*mn America," among other insane things. He cannot win. But apparently most of the media and the DNC live in a bubble and are unaware of this.

I will vote for him because I must. But I'm probably going to look at my nails when someone goes into a rant about his associations, his unpreparedness, and his lack of substance. I'll vote for him only because I do not want a Republican--ANY Republican--in the White House.

Support carries the meaning of donating money, working on a campaign task, doing get out the vote----that is actual, literal "support" in the sense of doing stuff.

A superdelegate, for example, may offer an endorsement & then just go back to being & doing whatever . . . .  Or a superdelegate may endorse & then donate money from a PAC & then work on a state Democratic Party committee to register voters, etc., & add actual "support" to the original endorsement.

And more significant may be whether she concedes or suspends her campaign.  As I read her campaign announcements, she will not concede but will only suspend, which means she holds on to her pledged delegates -- and Obama may need them or certainly will want them to at least look like the popular choice of the party.  Plus it gives her lots of leverage for her voters to be, as she said, respected and all too visible. :-)

Yesterday: some he-said/she-said about dirty tactics but no reporting at all, just swept under the rug. Did at least mention that Clinton won the primary, Obama won the caucuses.  Storyline pretty much "we'll get over it."

Today: "Unhealed wounds" is the headline.  Hispanic and rural vote for Clinton, urban black vote for Obama (really, only by "more than 60%"?  I was surprised not to see 80 or 90%).  Die-hard Clinton supporters wanting or not wanting her on ticket, on Supreme Court, etc.  Obama supporters not wanting her, she represents the past.  Anger of Clinton supporters "doesn't make any sense."  They need to "let go."  "50s mindset" as code words (I assume) for racism.  Black Clinton delegate vows to vote McCain or write her in.

"Strong armed" it's called coalition building, something he said he would do as a uniter.  Uniters get make concessions, you his supporters have taken this Bush stance.  No concessions, no cooperation, win at all cost, even if winning means losing.  It's insane.  

If any other Obama supporter tells me what job will be good for Clinton as god is my witness I will send you a projectile, vomit that is.  

Second: whether Obama people like it or not, her campaign was also historical.  Clinton should take the people who supported her to the convention so they have the opportunity to vote for her.

the challenges created by Bush's ineptitude are so great that he might be weak in 2012.

The question period was funny.  The young and educated are dumb, is it dumb to support Obama?  The author, chagrined, said yes there is that element.  They are working on there 'identity formation' and they decide on 'other than issues' discussion of 'aura' and 'elitism'  How $40 million were dumped in to MTV (ha!) etc to get the youth demographic.
