She will lose NC big time, and will likely squeeze out a win in IN. She will win big in KY and WV based on two SurveyUSA polls I've seen a couple of days. One KY poll gave her 30 points lead there.

Operation Chaos Continues!

All of this nonsense aside, there are only two questions. In the general election, can McCain beat either Obama and Clinton? I think the answer is, yes to Obama, and no to Clinton. If Clinton, by hook or by crook, get's the nomination, will we then be as impressed with the success of Operation Chaos, as we are today? If the answer is we'll have her in the White House for eight years, it'll be a resounding no.

Repubs are sooooooo scared of Obama - they thought Hillary was inevitable too, and now they are quaking in their hip boots

Any chance this is rendell (1+ / 0-)
pulling strings to keep it 10 points until the west coast goes to bed?
Also, I realize when we talk about 'working class' people, we must be talking about bigoted whites. If not, then please tell me what the xxxx 92% of the black vote is if it's not working class!!!

No, everyone admits delegates are out of it. (2+ / 0-)
No one's even pretending that this is about catching up in delegates anymore. It's setting in that she can't even catch up in the popular vote. Now her only goal is to "make a case to the supers," whatever that means.
Remember, Obama winning North Carolina doesn't mean anything. Too many black people and rich tech nerds. But Indiana is the most important state ever because it's full of white people. That's basically where we are now. That's her "case." She wins whitey.

I sent Obama $50 tonight. Why? Because I want the lead story on the news to be, "Hillary wins by ten points BUT Obama takes in $X millions since the polls closed last night." It'll help down play her win and remind the supers that Obama is the one that can pull in the money to go on to fight McCain.

Eh. This was a bad night. (0+ / 0-)
Not bad enough to help Clinton win the nomination, but a bad night nonetheless.

I can't believe (0+ / 0-)
she won Montgomery County...with all that new registration and everything.
This was slightly more nightmare scenario than good night.

This was a bad result. Really bad. (0+ / 0-)
But, Clinton's campaign was toast beforehand and it's toast still toast.

Why Was HRC on Larry King last night? (4+ / 0-)
Why did she get that long, free ad from Larry King last night on CNN? Obama was on the Daily Show, but that's his demographic anyway.

Nope, let's talk about lapel pins. (3+ / 0-)
I bet Chuck Gibson is laughing his axx off over what he did to Obama.

Blah (1+ / 0-)
So disappointed. Began writing snippy comments over at TalkHillary, and decided to move away from their gloating. I know that the delegate totals barely moved, but I do miss being friendly with other folk on the left.
I hope hope hope that if she wins, she works for anyone half as hard as she works for herself.
I've never seen her do that, and I'm afraid that I don't believe she would. Sigh. Time for some warcraft.

Hillary didn’t win - the laziest man in politics lost
By Sam Schulman (bio)

On March 20th, I predicted here that Obama’s essential indolence would earn him the vice presidential nomination, and that he would be glad, and relieved, to take it. His performance in the week before the Pennsylvania primary proved that, on occasion, I can be right. I argued that Obama’s career demonstrated a particular kind of ambition - an ambition that always drove him, despite his immense talents, to do the minimum, to act if absolutely necessary - but to act languidly.

Obama has clearly reached that point in this campaign. His inner daemon tells him that he has done enough to earn the nomination. It is his by right. What he has done - and the strategies that he has used, the people he relies on, and the communicados he proclaims, are sufficient. When challenged, he never changes, he never responds - he simply re-states what he has already said, because it is the problem of his hearers, not his problem, that the message does not do its job. He did this with Reverendgate - he did this with his blue-collar-bashing - he even did it when he addressed a Jewish audience from the bimah. He merely repeats, with decorations, his earlier beliefs, slowly so we can understand, and forces a smile. He never apologizes and he never really explains - and he does not listen to what the agnostics are asking him.

An American, at least when he or she is in the voting booth, behaves like a boss, and a pretty good boss. A good boss is reasonable, open, and even willing to take a chance on a new idea. But when an employee comes to him with an idea, he likes to be courted, to be charmed, to be put fully in the picture, and to be asked for his support, if not his permission. No boss I’ve ever had likes, at such a moment, to listen to complaints and excuses, and he certainly doesn’t like to be told that what is good about the new idea is that it corrects a fault in the boss himself.

But that is Obama’s plan. If it doesn’t work, it is our fault, not his. And as I argued on March 20th, if it continues not to work with voters, he will grumpily but with outward grace take the number two slot on the Democratic ticket. The vice presidency is a better job description for a lazy man in any case: merely a spendid lectern, not an inconveniently demanding job with responsibilities to be shouldered, decisions to make and issues at stake. After all, despite his talents, Obama has avoided ever holding such a job for his entire career. And his greatest and most unusual talent might be his talent - no, his genius for evading such a responsibility.
From such a lectern - wreathed with honor and respect, but excluded from power - Vice President Obama may continue his ministry to the idealistic, to the young, and to those who feel themselves excluded, without ever having to interrupt his breakfast or change his mind. I would not be surprised a bit to find, if we could eavesdrop on the inner dialogue of Senator Obama’s mind right about now, that the Presidency is beginning to feel like a job that is not quite worthy of him.

This came from "Political Mavens" site, a poster dealing with the question of what to do with Mr. O.
We have all assumed he would strive for the Golden Ring, and to date, that seems to be true. However, we have to be realistic. Hillary and Mr. O have to come to terms in Denver. The hard truth is, the DNC will not allow a repeat of 1968, no matter what. SO. If that is true, like a truth table, we need alternatives. Give Mr O what he is fitted for, a place at the second level of the conference room table. A place where he is comfortable, able to spread his infections, a place where he learns the hard truths of Oval Office politics, a place where Mrs. O can make waves but unobtrusively, and above all a place where the DNC can control him. This leaves the VP position filled, the Presidency goes to Hillary, at least in the General Election and the debacle of 1968 is avoided. Also, Geo Soros has his nose in the tent, so the Left is given a seat at the table.
Now, does this make sense. In a way, yes. BUT Mr McCain is out there, waiting like his old Seahawk dive bomber. The Presidency is in his sights, and like the ace he is, a bulls eye is the only target in view.
