Obama has purposely left Hillary Clinton unscathe and still worth value. Because come November, having a strong and *clean* Hillary will help his chances. There are tons of dirt on Hillary that would almost certainly knock her campaign and credibility to shreds! When she was the frontrunner before Iowa, she was been questioned and vetted very roughly. But once she lost her frontrunner status, the media no longer cared about her laundry and focussed on Obama. So don't be fooled. If Hillary was not in LAST place but first, the media and the Republicans would be having a field day with her! If the spotlight was on Hillary, it would be much more abundantly clear that Hillary is just to bipolar and scandalous to win against John McCain. Obama has been very kind in political terms to Hillary - so to as not disenfranchised her supporters. So, Hillary supporters need to be very appreciative of Obama and help him beat George Bush's heir. Hillary supporters still don't get it!

Personally, I don 't see how Obama can't ask her to join the ticket. She has won more votes which means MORE democrats want her leadership. Her name is more competitive with McCain than Obama. She would be the perfect attack dog. That is what a Vice President is. And why not? If Obama is a good president, this ticket could possibly mean 16 years of a democratic White House. Whats wrong with that? As far as them not liking each other, Kerry and Edwards did not like each other either. In fact, that was one of the most negative primaries in a decade and it was only half as long. Reagan and Bush hated each other yet the were able to give their party 12 years in the White House. And as far as "another Clinton" talk...that is absurd. There was never "another Kennedy" sentiment. Might I remind those who say that the Clinton's have been in Washington to long....Kennedy (40 years), Boxer (15 years), Lieberman (20 years), Pelosi (20 years)....the list goes on. I don't hear any calls for them to step aside for "Change." Why don't the Democrats lock this thing up with an unbeatable ticket? But as usual when opportunity is in favor of the Democrats they screw it up. Just look at the leadership in Congress. Bush could have been made irrelavent two years ago but Pelosi has not been able to demonstrate any kind of leadership as Speaker. When you have a weak congress you need a powerful White House. So wake up democrats. Our time has come. Obama/Clinton 2008 I think anyone who says this would not be a viable dream ticket does not pay attention to politics.

They BOTH agreed to the rules of the DNC and now they have to deal with them. If you believe the nomination should be decided by popular vote, I agree, but it's too late in the game to be changing the rules. Instead of spiting Obama for bad rules, talk to the DNC about changing them for the next election. As with any contest we have to abide with the rules that are present. Think of it from Obama's perspective: how would you feel if you were running a race and just as you were about to finish someone said "Oh, I'm sorry the finish line has just been moved to a different location".

Imagine if two football teams play a full season. At the the end of the season, Team A has a 15-1 record and Team B has a 14-2 record. Even though Team A finished ahead of Team B, the coach of Team B shockingly claims that his team should be the champions. During an interview, the coach of Team B argues, "Hey look, we played tougher opponents than Team A did. Plus, if you count the pre-season game that we won against Team A, we're actually tied. The pre-season game ought to count. Both teams starters didn't play. Fans bought tickets to the game. It was televised. Why can't the league just count that exhibition game and give us the championship." In Hillary's world, the coach makes sense.

The nomination should come down to a simple majority. However, these are the rules for this election term and there is no way Hillary can overtake Obama's delegate lead which is the beef of this story. Who cares how much she chips away at it ... she can't win. If she was anything less than self-serving she would step down. I predict Hillary's greed will lead her to continue this disaster beyond June 3 through trivial law suits and the like, effectively handing it over to McCain which is all she is accomplishing by staying in the race.

The DNC decides the metrics that matter. For this election, the rules that all candidates agreed to follow at the outset were that nominees are decided based on the accumulated totals of delegates they earn, both pledged and super delegates. In some states, pledged delegates can't switch. In others there are no rules about that. When candidates withdraw, all states have provisions governing how their delegates can then pledge for other candidates. Those are not anythingother than indications of the rules of the different states. Popular vote is one indication of the will of the people, but it is not "better" than others. And this year, it is not the one that matters. Too bad HRC's campaign consultants, for all the vast sums of money they charged, did not do a better job learning these rules and designing their campaign strategy to accumulate the most of what mattered. But to try to reframe the metrics only after losing doesn't strike me as an indicator of a candidate's great concern for the will of the people. In fact, it seems a prima facia case for sore losing. The time for HRC to argue about popular vote was last year. But that was when everyone was convinced that she couldn't lose. When the primaries are over, which will be AFTER the DNC rules committee determines how the party (and NOT the candidates) will deal with the FL and MI delegations, HRC will have one brief window of opporturnity to show both her personal grace and her true commitment to the party and the will of its voters. I hope her supporters encourage the best parts of her to shine through on both fronts when the time for fighting among ourselves is finally over. I'll be one of the people on Obama's team, hoping that her failed instincts to date haven't cost us all too much time and energy to win the white house. andy k,

I understand that she is a woman and women everywhere beleive that she can win an shouldn't give up. The fact is, she has lost and in order to save face, she is trying to stay in the race. All Hillary is making herself look bad. You can lie to people, but you can't lie to yourself. Hillary give it up!

The black people are coming out of the wood work to give him 5 or 10 dollars to put him in office thinking their lot in life will be better. The only CHANGE they are going to get is for the worse.
