Yet it hasn't changed the fact that not enough delegates are up for grabs for her to win.

It wasn't, but it's a good point.
Or maybe I made the point in another thread. Sounds like something I'd say.

In any case, if Hillary got every pledged delegate left, she'd edge ahead of Obama slightly and probably the superdelegates would swing to her.

But that won't happen.

Actually I don't think the supers would give her what she needed even in the mathematically impossible event that she wins every last pledged delegate. A few more victories wouldn't do it; the required ingredient remains an apocalyptic implosion of the Obama campaign.

Oh and let's not forget Hillary getting the delegates from Florida and Michigan.

Personally I think the DNC should have adjusted the threshhold for victory once Florida and Michigan were out of the equation, to account for the lesser number of delegates.

Why Clinton's Continued Campaigning Is Good for the Dems

He makes some good points, but I'm not sure agree with the article.

Maybe Clinton should run as an independent. Would she win the general election? I think a lot of Republicans would vote for her rather than McCain.

Independent or not, I remain convinced she's not electable in the November campaign.

Has it or is it a plan for something else.

Which would be ...?

I do wonder if she isn't trying to sink Obama so she can take another shot in 4 years.

And as long as she stops attacking Obama, she still has the chance for the VP slot.  She may not have enough pledged delegates or super delegates to win, but she might have enough to deny Obama the nomination if he doesn't play ball.

I think Clinton is simply attempting to end her campaign on a high note, perhaps to convince the party that she's needed as VP on the ticket.

For all the talk of some sort of fall from grace, it certainly doesn't seem to have made a whole lot of difference thus far (either in the remaining contests or in national polls).

...And Obama's picked up more superdelegates

His campaign announced his pickup Wednesday of two superdelegates: Rep. Peter Visclosky of Indiana and Democrats Abroad chair Christine Schon Marques.

Also endorsing Obama were three former Securities and Exchange Commission chairmen—William Donaldson, David Ruder, and Arthur Levitt Jr., who was appointed by former President Clinton. The campaign released a joint statement by the former SEC chiefs, well as former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, that praised Obama's "positive leadership and judgment" on economic issues.

"We are aware of the reasoned approach Mr. Obama has taken in analyzing the current financial crisis and the need for balanced regulatory reform," the statement said. "We believe that such a constructive approach can be extended broadly in the economic area as well as elsewhere."

Obama may be a douche, but he's not dumb enough to put Clinton up as his running mate.

Or HW.

Simply cannot believe that Raygun chose him for a running mate after he called the RR economic plan "voodoo economics". Picking a competitor as your running mate is dicey business, although in Obama's case it could bring him more support from the crackers.

Perhaps she has centipedes in her vagina.
