The tie situation favors Obama. Here's why.

[LoZoccolo]

Here is how it could play out.

1. Half of Hillary's donors are maxed out; they've given the $2300 maximum allowed and can't give any more.
2. Hillary's campaign realizes that they will have to conserve funds to get through the rest of primary season.
3. Hillary's campaign launches another ugly attack in desperation, having a surrogate say something ugly or another stunt similar to the dishonest fake handshake snub lie.
4. People don't like that and react in disgust.
5. PROFIT!

1. Hillary's campaign launches another attack?

Like how Obama bashed her in his victory speech but Hillary was humble and said nothing about him?

2. Please give the actual text of the "bash"

Listened to the whole speech... didn't hear a "bash".

4. "bash" is preposterous

He congratulated Sen. Clinton on her victories and acknowledged her successes. Right after that, he talked about how, with work, Sen. Obama's campaign will win.

6. Still waiting on the "bash"... n/t

3. I agree. Obama has the position to win it.

He has to avoid letting the Clintons drag him down into their vortex of negativity, however. He has to forget Hillary entirely, and run to the light, not towards the muck. He should not have another appearance with her. Let her go on Fox and earn her next contribution from Rupert Murdock. No reason for him to give her a chance to appear on TV with him.
