No Gloating here....I honestly think it is over if Obama gets 60% in Virginia
and half the white vote. It not only defeates the electability argument, but it is going to make the primaries vary difficult for Clinton in Ohio. She can't simply score a victory in Ohio. SHe needs to win about 60% to start eating into the elected delegate lead and the assertion to donore that that is a possibiulity once we see the next OHio poll is going to seem far fetched. If he gets 65% in Virginia. I would not be suprised if Hillary calls it quits because the mountain is just to steep to climb.

1. Even if he won 80%, it wouldn't be over.

3. It is getting tough for HRC, but there is no way she is dropping out before March 5.
And I'm an Obama guy FYI.

10. I am simply looking at the numbers.... I have no real problem with her staying in
I just do not see anywafor her to keep up in delegate count or fundraising given what she has to do,

It would be extremely foolish is she quit now and I don't see why she should.

5. No way. She won't ever quit. She's got Chelsea begging superdelegates on her behalf.

But I'm sure the Big Dog is promising some pretty good perks to the uncommited SD's. Call me a :tinfoilhat: but I anticipate the Clinton family to pull out all the tricks in it's bag to secure this nomination.

6. she has to go through Texas and Ohio

19. Absolutely, The longer the campaign runs on, the more excitement will build up.
DUers are thrashing & hashing, but this contest is really pumping up the electorate for a Democratic win in November.

9. I wouldn't be so quick to call Ohio if I were you.
And I certainly don't think that Sen. Clinton should be counted out at this point. I appreciate your excitement, but it's still too close to call right now.

11. It's not the vote, it's the money.
Though a chicken/egg thing can be debated. Look to WI. for answers.

14. "It's not ova!! It's never ova!!" --- Hillary, quoting John Rambo
Even when she loses Texas, they'll have to drag her out of the race kicking and screaming "BUT I'M HILLARY!! HILLARY!!"

24. She plans on seizing the Alamo with NY State NOW, and holding it until March 4th.
13 days of glory at the siege of the Alamo

21. She's a fighter. I admire that.
I'm not for her, but I don't think she's ever made it about her or her career. Let's try and be grown ups in our moment of victory.
