A dose of reality is needed for Hillary; Mark Fournier of AP: "Clinton has little chance of closing the gap because Democrats allocate most of their delegates proportionally. Even as she declared victory in Ohio, Clinton knew that Tuesday''s results were unlikely to draw her much closer to Obama. It doesn''t get any better for Clinton after Tuesday. As Clinton strategist Mark Penn wrote in mid-February: "... It is voters and delegates who matter." "Despite Obama''s impressive victories in February, Clinton''s comeback is based on sowing political seeds of doubt," said Donna Brazile, a Democratic strategist and one of nearly 800 party leaders known as superdelegates. In order to clinch the nomination, he must anticipate the worst attacks ever. A senior Obama adviser, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Obama''s team will respond to Tuesday''s results by going negative on Clinton %u2014 raising questions about her tax records and the source of donations to the Clinton presidential library, among skeletons in the Clintons'' past.
The winner of that fight would be John McCain, who sealed the GOP nomination Tuesday night and would love nothing more than fratricide among the Democrats. He could use the time to raise money, energize conservative voters and sharpen his general election message.

Congratulations to the GOP for helping Hillary get the votes that clinch a GOP win for President.

And if you go by the popular vote and even throw in FL, Obama is leading by almost 300,000 votes.

Of course, does it really matter who the Captain of the Titanic was?

Everytime I see Barack my heart goes to fluttering up and down my chest. By the time I finish chanting "yes we can" I feel like we can do anything as long as we have Barack leading us. I don''t see how any of those congressmen can vote against something when Barack is talking. I''m going to tivo him to death because everytime I hear him speak I just feel good all over. I''ts almost like he hypnotizes me. Since I''ve been listening to him speak I''ve quit smoking, lost thirty pounds, and I no longer have to take my blood pressure medicine. Yes we can!

Signed

Your typical Obama supporter

The people of Ohio may have said it should be Hillary Clinton, but the people of the United States are saying it should be Barack Obama. The last time I checked, it was the total delegate count, not just Ohio.
